Its black and white colouring works particularly well with painted, stained or natural wooden stairs and can also complement neutral hallway walls and flooring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the runner is supplied in a continuous 7-metre length, it can be measured and cut according to the dimensions of the individual staircase.

The 60cm width is intended to sit through the centre of the staircase, leaving an exposed section on either side.

The depth of each tread, the height of each riser and any additional material required for securing or finishing the runner will affect the total length needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasuring the full staircase before cutting is therefore important.
