Carpet & Flooring for Stairs
CarpetAce supplies and installs carpet on stairs for homes and commercial properties across Melbourne. Stairs take more wear than any other part of a home, so we help you choose a carpet and underlay that will look good and last, and install it neatly over every tread and nosing.
Our team brings more than 40 years of experience in the carpet and flooring trade.
Choosing Carpet for Stairs
- Go dense: a dense pile wears better and is less likely to open up and show the backing where the carpet bends over each nosing.
- Twist or tight loop: twist cut piles and tight level loops both suit stairs. Avoid loose loops if you have pets.
- See it on the edge: we bend samples over a stair edge at the measure so you can see how each one looks.
- Use a good underlay: it adds comfort and helps the carpet keep its appearance on a high-traffic staircase.
