Tips on how to measure your straight flight of stairs for a stair runner carpet.
  • Measure the height of the face (front of the step) 19cm
  • Measure the tread (top of the step) 24cm Add these two sizes together 19 + 24 = 43cm
  • Count how many steps 11
  • Multiply the number of steps by the total size of the face and tread 43 x 11 = 473cm
  • This will give you a rough idea of length required
  • Always allow extra for cutting and installation
  • Measure the total width of the step 80cm
  • Take around 15-20cm from this to find ideal width for your stair runner 80 - 15/20cm = 65/70cm
