• Rose (pale pink) coloured crystal finials.
• Cylindrical rod: 12mm (1/2”) diameter.
• Choice of reeded, spiral or plain rod style.
• Suitable for fitting on stair runners or fitted carpets.
• Made-to-measure.

• Protective finish – easy to wipe clean.
• It is important to note that, like other stair runner rods, the Crystal stair rods are purely decorative and do not fix the carpet to the stairs; a stair runner must be secured by another means of installation such as gripper.

• Please note – These Stairrods are custom which are made to the customer’s exact requirements. This does also make them NON RETURNABLE.

Tips on fitting the Crystal Rose carpet rods for stairs

• The stair rod brackets are supplied with No. 6 screws: drill a pilot hole before fixing the brackets to the staircase, then drill a 4mm clearance hole for the screw shank. It is suggested for softwood: drill a 2.5mm pilot hole and hardwood a 3mm pilot hole.
• To avoid damaging the screws it is suggested you use a low drill speed.
• Runner rods brackets: separate, by sliding the top from the bottom of the bracket to reveal the screw holes. Fit the bottom section first, and then place the rod in before sliding the top bracket section into place and securing with the supplied domed-head screw.
• Fitted carpet Front Fix brackets: place the rod on the stair carpet and place the Front Fix brackets over the rod face, screwing them through the carpet.

What length to order

• For runner stair carpets choose the RUNNER stair rod option: simply add around 100mm (around 4”) to the width of your runner to give you the tip-to-tip measurement of stair rod to order. For example: if your runner is 690mm (around 27”) wide then you would order 790mm (around 31”) length rods. Note: the tip-to-tip measurement you order INCLUDES the finials. The standard 12mm (1/2”) bracket supplied has a 14mm clearance to allow for the underlay and carpet.
• For fitted stair carpets choose the FRONT FIX stair rod option: it is advisable to leave a 50mm (around 2”) gap on both sides, between the end of the finial (end piece) and the edge of your staircase (stringboard). For example: if your staircase measures 890mm (around 35”) across, then a 790mm (around 31”) stair rod would look well-balanced. Note: the tip-to-tip measurement you order INCLUDES the finials.
