How to Install a Stair Runner

Set the factory-finished edge of the second runner over the end of the first runner, as shown. There's no need to tuck it into the corner, but do be sure that the stripes on the two runners line up perfectly. Using the pneumatic stapler, drive staples straight down through the hemmed ends of both runners and into the tread. Continue to gently pull, tuck, and staple the second runner until you reach the bottom step.
