[@Be-A-Neuro-Guru]

What type of staples ?

[@bilgls5]

Why is the runner not in the centre of the stair and is the underpads 1” in?

[@SolsMadeEasy]

Cool video Keith, it’s amazing how different installers work & still achieve a perfect finish 👌🏻🔥…

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks 🤙🤙🤙

[@lillybrutus]

This is so detailed, thank you so much! Do you have a list of tools needed for this project?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

should be in the info below the video

[@rosemundyee6863]

Excellent explanation. Can i get these tools to rent at Home Depot. Thank you!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

You should be able to get a few

[@bettegerhold5227]

I’m curious about how to lay down the runner on the landing. At the end of your video I see that you had one but without instructions, I’m lost on how to do this part. Can you explain?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZC3cmeaopihgqc here is the full video 😀

[@degen_dad7682]

Thanks for keeping real time and not skipping around. I didn’t see you do the landing in the middle there tho. Did you staple directly into the quarter round?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I did

[@leehowell7734]

What do you do when there are pie shaped treads at the top of the stairs? Do you have a video about that? Thanks

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I’m sure there is one in their / I will have a look

[@SeanTong0]

Great Tutorial Keith! Want to check with you about the carpet padding. Any recommendations on the width and depth of the padding? Just wonder about the space needed on all 4 corners of the padding. Thanks

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We use 10 mill gold foil top pad / about 3/8 to half inch

[@SeanTong0]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Thank You. So do you leave 0.5 inch on each side of the carpet padding to the edge of the carpet?

[@FPrice-jb8sl]

Do you offer a length of 30 feet? I only see the length on your website going up to 28 feet. Thanks

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Let me know what carpet you’d like and we may be able to assist 👍

[@SeanTong0]

@Keith Shannon So do you leave 1 inch of space between the edge of the padding and edge of carpet? Thank You

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

That is exactly correct🤙🤙🤙

[@Exogenesis80]

Greetings from the UK. Great video Keith. Just a question on the underlay. I notice you only put it on the treads (and not around the nose). Do you leave a small space at the junction of the tread and riser? or do you add the underlay the entire depth of the tread?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Well truth be told as you must know / it’s best to have the pad over the edge for wear purposes but the carpet that we are using does not respond very well with the pad over the nose and also does not rewind well to tack strip that’s why we have switched our methods

[@Robert-cd7rm]

Do you use the same procedure when applying a carpet runner over carpeted staircase?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I don’t carpet over carpet

[@davidevans9696]

Hi do you think its wise to install a stair runner before we have laid the flooring in the hallway first?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Depends / if you do,protect your new runner while the floor is going in😊👍

[@davidevans9696]

@ good point thanks!

[@webmastertaylor]

Really helpful video, Keith, thank you! Can you explain the carpet pad, type and installation? And do you not use nailing strips?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

For certain carpets I do not use nailing strips ( smoothedge, tack strip) the pad that we use is 10mil gold foil top pad

[@webmastertaylor]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Thanks again! I just finished install of first stair runner using your instructions and it came out perfect! Best regards!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

@@webmastertaylor I’d love to see it! Throw up a pic🤙🤙🤙

[@handymanlondon]

This is the right thing to do, clean! Some carpeters looks shit result you can see the underlay of all side. Dust dirt stays in the side.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks for that🤙🤙🤙

[@Nikito-e4m]

What kind and staples size did you use ?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

9/16 crown

[@Gearz86]

Why no tack strip? So confused at all the conflicting ways to do this lol

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

There are a few ways to install / tack strip is great for most carpets / some carpets it’s not plain and simple

[@W0WHERMY]

My wife wants the top stair done as well because its usually the main one that we slip on. Any suggestions? I was thinking of using a transition. We have old school hardwood floor.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Not sure exactly what you mean / do you mean the hallway ? The nosing?

[@CarpetinstallationandsalesinAu]

Hello, is the electric gun you used for the stairs easy to use?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Very

[@clareanderson5095]

my staples are so visible! what do you use?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We use 9/16 crown staples

[@motadr5773]

When you are stapling the riser, you say 45. Does that mean part of staple on riser and part on tread? Or 45 degrees into the carpet on the tread?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Good question/ yes exactly but when I staple I staple as close to the tread that I can so when I have to cut let’s say at the riser I don’t hit any staples with my knife

[@tommoon63]

Can you rent install tools anywhere ? Big investment for a 1 time product use.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Usually you can rent the tools at any rental place

[@ilanalisova7389]

Do you actually use staples or neils with a staple gun. I used staples and i can see the staples on the carpet when stapled to the stairs

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I use staples

[@bobbymullin1193]

Did you say 5/16 or 9/16 for staples? Appreciate the videos! Going to try installing runners in my house but I want to make sure I have everything right 👍🏻. Your videos have been extremely helpful!
