Install a Straight Carpet Runner on Winding or Turning Stairs

[@mechellecrosswhite9446]

You just convinced me to hire someone for my winding stairs 😁

I've been installing carpet for over 35 years and never came across these curved stairs with a pattern I'm embarrassed to say I was lost spent a couple days trying different methods and nothing looked great if I worked for a store I would have fired me and let me tell you I wanted to be fired I found your videos and I can't thank you enough I learned so much and I'm now a loyal subscriber 👍👍

In the UK where a third of our housing stock is over a hundred years old winders and quarter landings are quite common. On my staircase I have winders at both the top and bottom of the stairs 😂. A right pain.

I’ve seen Steve Ramsden explain about using glue and tape to create a seam. However never for installing runners. On ukflooring channel. But hey if it works and gets the job done. Whatever it takes I guess 👍🏻

Is the white line across the top of the steps at right angles to the riser, or to the front of the step? Thanks

I have a stone staircase 13ft diameter with 19 steps. I removed the 50-year-old carpet runner and kept the stair rods. Now, wanting to get a new runner, I find carpet shops and fitters want to drill and fit gripper rods, cut carpet into sections etc, but my carpet came out in one single long piece and was not cut or shaped. Instead, each step had an inch or two or of carpet folded up at the inside edge behind the rod and the carpeting, the rod clamping the triple thickness of the carpet in place. No glue, no grippers, no stitches or staples. Of course it's gentle 'pie' not a sharp turn and a constant width of carpet was used. Now I'm buying a new length to fit but there's absolutely no advice about the old, classic method for winding a runner round a stair. Any advice? My main worry is just manhandling 11.5m of carpet. The old carpet was not bound or edged, was older than any built-in underlay type, and I can't remember taking out anything except newspaper and thin perished old rubber underlay (nothing like the thickness of fitted carpet underlays).

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

The only suggestion I could give you / is pl the tack strip down and cut every piece individually I’m not sure about that old method all I know is it is not easy / there are many videos on my site how to do curved and rounded staircases plus a video showing how to pl to ceramic and concrete / good luck😀

Why not join it with a heat seam iron ?

[@robertsol9007]

You have beautiful voice, start a singing as second career is a good for you!

[@jacobbuckley8232]

I have never seen a seam made like that. Why not just seam it with an iron. Don't think there's anyone that would attempt this as a diy. That's not an easy job. Definitely should be templated

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

100% Not Easy That method is stronger than seaming tape for a stair on the bend over the edge!

[@anniecarlson1819]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet I'm inspired to do this but curious can you do a template runner for someone out of town? I.E. could I template, send it in to order and then install it myself?

[@johnhayes5242]

I know UK an USA have different techniques but I would not do it that way. I mostly only fitted carpets I had sold and would never fit a bound carpet on winding stairs. I would always leave the gripper and underlay an inch short on each side and turn the carpet over. Also I noticed your top step the pile was not square going over the nose but inline with the above stairs which is a big no-no here, and also on the middle, the line may match in the nick but in my opinion I'd rather see the nose fitted square.

Looks a right mess if you dont get the pattern straight over the nose of the step
