Most homes have narrow hallways with beautiful tiles or hard wood. Some of these flooring can very easily become scratched and stained. How can you protect these areas that get so much traffic? Outdoor rug runners are specifically designed to fit many hallway widths. Take the measurements of your corridor. You will need to find out how wide or narrow the aisle is before you make your order to get the right size. There are rugs that come in a variety of different dimensions so you can choose one that would fit from wall to wall or centered leaving a certain amount of space on each side. If your floors are beautiful then you might want to let them peak out getting rugs a little narrow.
Runners are important if you want to keep your floors looking their best because both tiles and wood can wear out very quickly. You can use them if you had just refinished your floors. Because they are so durable they are also used as runners for the stairs and the kitchen. Stairs are definitely in need of extra care and extra protection because of the abuse they get everyday. Many of us are running up and down the stairs with or without shoes on we apply great pressure on any kind of gloss resulting in a dirty and dull appearance. The kitchen is also always much more comfortable when there is something soft to walk on just as long as we can dry the rug quickly.
Sometimes outdoor runner rugs are sold by the piece and sometimes they are sold by the meter. All you need to make sure about is the desired width. Once you have that you can get extra long rugs to cover longer areas. For long hallways and high stairs you can get the length you want custom cut.
