This tool will help you calculate the length of stair runner you need for your stairs.
How to Use the Stair Runner Calculator:
1. Enter the Stair Length in feet.
2. Enter the Stair Width in inches.
3. Enter the Number of Risers (the vertical parts of the stairs).
4. Enter the Runner Width in inches.
5. Enter the Extra Carpet (additional inches for wrapping and overage).
6. Click the Calculate button to get the result.
How It Calculates:
The calculator multiplies the stair length by the number of risers and adds the extra carpet overage. The total is then converted to yards (since most carpet runners are sold by the yard).
Limitations:
This calculator is designed for straight stairs with consistent dimensions. For spiral or irregular stairs, professional measurement and estimation are recommended.
