Bespoke, hand-made, carpet stair runners in Wandsworth SW18

Cavendish deVere design and create custom and bespoke stair runners in Wandsworth SW18. Almost all types of carpet can be used to make a runner - from natural fibres such as sisal, seagrass, coir and jute to traditional flat-weave carpets and stripes that might be made from wool, nylon, polypropylene or a mixture of any of those.

The process

While a straight set of stairs is a fairly straight forward proposition (no pun intended), if you have winders - stairs that go around corners, they will need to be templated, so we will need to come to visit you in Wandsworth. We measure the flights of stairs, we bring samples and we discuss your requirements. But if you want a fast estimate before that, then you can use our FloQuote app and just send in a video of your stairs via Whatsapp.

Post quote

Accept the quote and depending on the complexity of the design and the staircase (if it has stripes or winding stairs for example), we'll return to the property to create that template. The carpet is then ordered, cut to size, whipped and bound to seal the edges or a cotton bordered tape is stitched on depending on your requirements. The runner is then carefully checked for defects and delivered to site.

A tread that is used where a stair turns a horizontal angle, or in a spiral stair; shaped like a wedge or truncated wedge. Basically, it is a stair that goes around a corner.

A stair runner is a carpet that goes in the middle of a flight of stairs leaving the wooden stairs visible on either side.

Hall runners and landing runners are carpets that run down the middle of a corridor leaving the subfloor visible on either side.

A stair rod is for securing a carpet in the angle between two steps and often used for decorative purposes.

As far as carpet goes.. it is creating an edge to a carpet with stitching to create a finished piece and prevent the carpet from coming apart at the sides.

A border that is stitched onto the side of a runner, that can strengthen it, but also adds impact to the overall design.
