What's the Best Carpet for Stairs?

Stairs and landings take more foot traffic than almost any other part of the house, so choosing the right carpet here is important.

We generally recommend a shorter, denser pile for stairs rather than a deep plush saxony. This helps reduce flattening on the treads and keeps the edges looking neat.

Bleach-cleanable polypropylene carpets from ranges like Cormar Primo and Apollo are very popular for stairs because they're durable and easy to maintain.

On a home visit we can show you options that balance comfort with durability and explain how we allow for overhangs, winders and landings when we measure.
