Why Choose Stair Carpet?
Benefits that make the investment worthwhile
Safety
Carpet provides grip and cushioning, reducing slip and fall risk on stairs.
Noise Reduction
Dramatically reduces noise from foot traffic on stairs between floors.
Style & Elegance
Stair runners add visual interest and can become a design focal point.
Warmth
No more cold stairs in winter - carpet adds insulation and comfort.
Safer Stairs for Ottawa Winters
Hardwood or painted stairs can be slippery, especially when you come in with snow or wet feet. Carpet provides essential grip and cushioning for busy Ottawa households.
- Non-slip surface - Textured carpet provides natural grip even with damp feet or socks.
- Cushioned landings - Reduced injury risk from slips or falls on carpeted stairs.
- Insulation benefit - Carpet helps prevent heat loss between floors.
- Quieter home - Dramatically reduce the sound of footsteps going up and down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about stair carpet in Ottawa
How long does stair carpet installation take?
A single flight of straight stairs takes 2-3 hours. Multiple flights or complex staircases may take a full day.
Should I match my stair carpet to my hallway carpet?
It depends on your design preference. Matching creates a unified look, while contrasting can create visual interest. Many clients choose a patterned runner with solid room carpet.
What about curved or winding stairs?
We specialize in complex stair installations. Curved and pie-shaped stairs require precise cutting and fitting - this is skilled work that ensures beautiful results.
How do you secure carpet on stairs?
We use tack strips at the back of each tread and riser, plus stapling for additional security. Runners often use rods at the back of each tread for a traditional look.
Can you install a runner over existing stair carpet?
No, old carpet must be removed first. We need to access the stair surface for proper installation and to check the condition of the wood.
Will stair carpet match my room carpet exactly?
If we install both, yes. If matching existing carpet, we work to find the closest match possible from current product lines.
