We recommend that you have a minimum margin of approximately 5cm between either side of your runner and the edge of your staircase. Roger Oates flatweave is woven in three standard widths, 60cm/24″, 70cm/27″ and 85cm/33″. Please note all these measurements are approximate. Some designs are woven in one width and a selection are woven in multiple widths. If you know the approximate width of runner you require use the filters on the Stair Runners page to refine your selection.

Use our useful measuring guide to calculate the meterage required for your stairs.

A flatweave quality is recommended if you have winding steps as it is supple and flexible. In most cases where you have a minimum of three winding steps over a 90-degree turn, the stripes can be matched in the crutch of the step if a flatweave is used. A trained installer is essential.

Your stair runner is held in place by a specialist type of gripper. Stair rods are purely decorative however do add a smart finishing touch. Please see our stair rod section to view the different styles available.

There are various options available. Please see the gallery pages for ideas and inspiration or read our journal for more information.

A good quality rubber crumb and felt underlay is always recommended for flatweave installations. Microplast gripper should be used with a flatweave runner. If you have a loose runner/rug on a hard floor or carpet, we recommend that Antiskid underlay is used to prevent slippage.

Flatweave is a specialised material therefore it is essential that you employ somebody experienced in fitting the product. Good installers will leave you with a high-quality installation which will ensure the flatweave performs better over its lifespan. Ask your local stockist if they have a portfolio of work that you can have a look at or if they have any customer references.

We recommend vacuuming with a suction vacuum cleaner at least once a week to remove surface dirt.

If a spillage occurs, act quickly, blot the liquid with a soft, colourless absorbent cloth then dab with a clean cloth dampened with a mild upholstery shampoo solution. Rinse and blot dry.

If you are based in London, we recommend using Fabriclean for professional cleaning.

It is impossible to guarantee how long your stair runner will last as the wear is dependent on the individual household and layout of the staircase. Life expectancy is also affected by the quality of the fitting and type of underlay used. A rubber crumb and felt underlay similar in height to the gripper rod should always be used. To prolong the life, a shoe-free policy is recommended and ensure the installation is completed to a high standard. Please note that our runners are only recommended for domestic settings.

Our flatweave is woven and in the UK and finished by hand in Herefordshire.
