Why Stair Rods or Decorative Stair Rods ??
First what is the definition and the use of a stair rod as you can read
it from a dictionnary ???? : a rod, usually of metal, for holding
a stair carpet to its place
Although, in today's interior design, and in most cases of domestic
stair carpeting, stair rods are no longer serving to
a functional purpose, but everyone will agree that stair carpet
rods are still adding a real touch of elegance to any stair
carpet runner and a touch of style to your staircase.
Stair rods are now available with many design options from traditional
to contemporary and in a number of styles, metals, and finishes,
in both tubular and solid forms, with various
kinds of matching brackets to hold them in place with or without
decorative finials
They make a perfect addition to any decor by beautifully combining
clean lines with classic styling
Our several stair rods collections offers elegant solid brass at an
affordable
price
All parts are 100% premium solid brass* with
a clear protective lacquer coating to resist tarnishing

Information about stair rods can be found all over the
internet as hundreds of sites are offering them on-line,
but the most frequently F.A.Q are the following ones:
Question:
How Many?
Answer:
One set for each tread
Question:
How Long?
or What should the length of my stair rod be?
Answer:
Stair rods should be at least 1" longer than the width of your carpet
runner. The rod slides into each bracket about ½" on each side for
a total of about 1" of the rod in the brackets. It is most esthetically
pleasing to have at least ¼" of space on each side between the bracket
and the edge of the carpet runner for a total of ½". Rods can be
longer, with a wider bracket spacing, if desired. In fact one of the favourite
option is to determine minimum rod length, is to add 2 inches to the width of
the runner
Question:
How do I cut my stair rods?
Answer:
Stair rods can easily be cut in the home with a metal cutting hack saw. This
type of saw is common and can be found at any hardware store. We recommend using
a saw blade that has 12 to 24 teeth per inch for a faster smoother cut. We can
also cut rods to your exact specifications at no additional charge.
Question:
Are stair rods used for carpet installation?
Answer:
Decorative Stair rods are not a form of carpet installation. Although they appear
to be holding carpet runners on steps, another form of installation must be used.
Use of an adhesive pad, staples, tacks, nails, tack strip or tackless strip is
necessary for all runners on steps
Question:
Can I put stair rods over existing carpet?
Answer:
Installing stair rods over existing carpet simply requires longer screws to pass
through the carpet and pad before it is anchored into the wood layer of the step.
Longer screws, typically 1½" or longer, can be purchased at a local
hardware store or are available from us by request at no additional charge
Question:
Are solid rods more durable than tubular rods?
Answer:
Tubular core and solid core rods are equally durable. Tubular core (hollow) rods
will not dent under normal use. All our stair rods with tubular core are manufactured
with a thick wall and are extremely strong
Question:
How do I clean my stair rods?
Answer:
Stair rods have a protective lacquer coating to resist tarnishing. Use only a
soft dry cloth when cleaning the products. Cleansers and abrasives may remove
the protective coating and will actually cause tarnishing
