Our Experience
With decades of experience in the flooring industry, Carpet Express has developed a deep understanding of what customers need from both their flooring products and their installation. Our team offers practical guidance on choosing the right carpet or flooring for each space, combining durability, comfort, and style to suit Irish homes and commercial environments.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Get Inspired
Any carpet can be made into a stair runner. Visit us in store to see our samples in person, and we can advise you on the best choice to suit your needs based on tog thickness, durability, and pattern alignment.
2. Find Your Style
Stair Runners can be bound with traditional stitch binding, pipe binding or wide-border binding. They can also be fitted centered to your stairs, or full width for added drama. We can also fit american style or waterfall style depending on your preference.
3. Free Measure
We'll call to you, free of charge, to measure your stairs and answer any questions you might have. We'll even bring samples for you to see in your own home. Show us your inspiration pictures and we'll make your idea come to life.
Stair Runners:
Centered or Full-Width
Stair runners can be centered to your stairs, leaving a gap each side which exposes the stairs beneath. This requires prepping, which may mean sanding, staining and / or painting your actual stairs. Centered stair runners look best on wide staircases as they can make your stairs look narrower. The exposed steps can also collect dust overtime and require regular cleaning to maintain that show-house look. Centered stair runners can look beautiful when they are accessorised with stairrods.
Full-width stair runners are fitted to the full width of your stairs and require no extra prep work before being fitted. We recommend letting us know as soon as possible if you want your stairs fitted full-width as this niche binding technique is extremely popular and there can be some delays during busy season (October - February).
"I could not recommend Carpet Express any more highly... You can tell they are a family run business as they are attentive and personable... the whole process was seamless quick and stress-free. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my floors."
