This stair carpet runner is made using a flatweave technique and is made for maximum durability. A flatweave is more commonly known as a basketweave. Traditionally, flatweave carpets are made using natural fiber such as sisal or wool. However, this carpet is made using a man-made fiber (polypropylene) that is a fraction of the price of a naturally made carpet, however just as durable. The pile of this hall carpet runner is extremely durable and will not flatten down as there is no pile to do so. Due to the cleverly woven construction of this pile, this is great for pets as the runner is pretty much indestructible. It has been classified as a heavy domestic product, which means that it is suitable in high traffic areas in all domestic locations, especially the hallway. This stair runner has latex gel backing. This means that the carpet runner is non-slip and will not move on hard stairs such as wood, vinyl, or ceramic tiles. It is also anti-slip on carpet but the effectiveness depends on the thickness of the carpet it is sat on. The thicker the carpet, the less effective it will be. Whilst being non-slip, the backing is rot-proof. This ensures that the carpet will not shrink or wrinkle once it dries out from being wet. This stair carpet runner is ideal for hallways, kitchens, and caravans. The texture of this carpet is fairly coarse, it has a firm feel and offers little comfort. This product is not made to be luxurious, it is made to be very durable and practical. This carpet 100% bleach-proof. It is also resistant to fading from UV sunlight.
