Unnatural Flooring Sisal Carpet Runner

Unnatural Flooring Sisal Carpet Runner

Stair runners are still an incredibly popular way to cover your stairs as an alternative to plain wood, LVT or indeed carpet. If you’re tempted by a runner, have a read through this article which shares with you information on a slightly different variation on a typical runner.

Carpet Runners

Carpets runners are essentially a run of carpet which runs up your stairs leaving edges of the stairs exposed to create a beautiful neat finish. It differs from a carpet in that it reveals the stairs underneath on either side of it.

A very popular brand for carpet runners are off the Loom which produce stunning flat weave wool runners. Please have a look at the article on these here.

Unnatural Flooring and what it is

Unnatural Flooring is another brand we would recommend to create you a beautiful carpet runner however the materials of Unnatural Flooring are slightly different.

Presenting rugs and runners

Unnatural Flooring also offer custom made rugs, you can read about one project we worked on here and see the picture to the side.

So what is different about Unnatural Flooring?

The Unnatural Flooring Company is one of the UK's leading suppliers of beautiful, practical and cleanable sisal-look carpet. Sisal is a stiff natural fibre and feels coarse underfoot, making it the ideal fibre for outdoor rugs, entryways, hallway runners, and homes with pets, and Jute is slightly softer so great in living rooms and bedrooms.

Natural look but man made

Unnatural flooring products offer the look and feel of natural sisal, wool, jute, seagrass and wood.

However, as the name would suggest, the materials are not natural. They are made from tough, durable and easy to clean Polyamide and Polypropylene. This makes them a really great option for a stair runner where traffic is high the carpet will be subject to a lot of use. A sisal look floor is a perfect washable flooring alternative for busy homes.

Hardwearing and easy to clean

The carpet pictured here is New York Rockerfella Carpet Runner on a Staircase with a Whipped Edge and Pinned (Hollywood) was installed in Cambridge but there are so many other colours to choose from!

So should you buy a sisal look stair runner or carpet?

Well if you want something hard wearing, easy to wash and with a natural look then an Unnatural flooring runner should definitely be at the top of your list of carpets to consider!
