Why choose carpet for stairs?
Stairs see more foot traffic than almost any other area in the home, and a high-quality carpet on the stairs helps reduce wear, lower noise, and improve safety with extra grip underfoot. Laying a stair carpet is also a great way to add a soft, welcoming touch between floors.

Our stair carpets are made from durable materials that can take on daily use without losing their shape. From dense, low-pile styles to soft but sturdy twists, our hardwearing stair carpets are designed to withstand wear and tear, even in busy family homes.
Style that flows through your home
Whether your stairs are open, enclosed, or wrap around a landing, our carpets help you create a seamless look from room to room. Choose neutral tones for a timeless feel or go bold to add personality to your staircase.
Looking to carpet other rooms?

Stair Carpet FAQs
Why choose carpet for the stairs?
Carpet provides you with a cushioned surface underfoot which is great for reducing noise. It also offers extra grip in comparison to harder flooring, making it safer for children, older adults, and pets.
As well as soundproofing and safety benefits, it’s also a stylish addition to your home. Why not explore this year’s top carpet trends to see if any catch your eye?
What is the best carpet for stairs with high traffic?
If you’re looking to buy a carpet for your stairs, you’ll need to be aware of the best materials. For high-traffic staircases, it’s best to choose durable materials like nylon or wool blends. Dense, low-pile constructions are ideal (such as loop pile or twist pile), as these hold up to daily wear and tear.
Remember, even the best carpets won’t last forever, so it’s important you know how often to replace carpets too.
I've spilt something on my new stair carpet, how do I clean it?
Cleaning staircase carpets is simple; you’ll just need to act quickly to prevent the spill from drying and setting. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth, then use a carpet-safe cleaner to treat the spot. After using the cleaning solution, rinse the area with clean water to remove any residue. Once the area is completely dry, use your vacuum to restore the carpet pile.
How much is a stair carpet?
The cost of a stair carpet varies depending on the material, style, and whether you opt for professional installation.

How to measure stairs for carpet
First, measure the width and depth of each step (taking measurements at the widest point for accuracy). Multiply the width and depth of each step to calculate the surface area, then sum the individual surface areas to get your total. We’d also recommend adding a 5-10% margin for wastage when ordering.
