A runner leaves portions of wood, tile, or painted stairs visible along both sides. The width should look balanced and provide a secure walking path. Patterns must remain centered and aligned from tread to tread. Bound, serged, or fabricated edges affect appearance and durability. The stair surface should be repaired and finished before the runner is installed because later access will be limited.
