Is carpet a good choice for my staircase?


There are two ways a carpet can be installed on staircases, but one is likely to serve your needs best. One way is full coverage, and the other is stair runners, with excellent results.

If you're looking at carpeting for your stairs, you'll want to learn more about it to make the best decision. So, here are some facts about whether carpet is a good staircase choice in your home.

Full coverage carpet on your stairs


Some homeowners prefer to cover the entire staircase in carpeting to provide various benefits that serve their household well. In this space, a carpet installation creates a safer surface, offers stunning visuals, and a quieter experience, especially if you have pets or children.

Stair runners over hard surface flooring


The other option is partial coverage of an existing hard surface material like hardwood or luxury vinyl. Stair runners offer many of the same benefits as full coverage options but cover only the center section where footfall happens.

Both options protect the flooring beneath by catching dirt, debris, and daily wear that could otherwise cause damage. Also, both offer plenty of choices at any budget level.
