How to Measure The Right Roll Runner Length For Your Stairs

Selecting the right length is also important. To measure straight stairs make sure to:

• Measure both the tread (horizontal step) and the riser (vertical part of a step). This should add up to about 18".
• Then count the number of steps. Be sure to include the last riser, which leads to the upper landing.
• Multiply the number of steps by the total inches per stair.
• Then divide by 12 to get the total linear feet necessary for your straight stairs. We recommend adding one extra foot of runner length to your total, just to be safe.

Yes, this is a great alternative to make sure you have the right length to cover your stairs regardless of the area size or the shape.

Cut roll runners are runners where a custom size can be ordered to be cut off of a roll of continuous product. This means that the runner will not have end borders, and is not finished on the ends. Most of these runners are finished on the sides. A finishing treatment needs to be specified for the ends if you are using the piece in a hallway. Options are fringing, end-capping, and serging.
