It takes a little extra carpet to do, but it can be done!!!! So is the carpet already over locked and waiting at the store? Did the layer come with the stair carpet the day he laid the rest of your house!

Sisal will look crap on those stairs no matter how well they lay it. The main problem is those steps with the bends in them. That's weird. I've never seen them done that way before. What were they thinking, making the steps that shape?! Re: Problem with carpet supplier/fitter 18Jan 26, 2008 1:26 pm So now you are getting mixed responses, just to confuse you.
The straight stairs are no prob. Overlocked edges will finish it nicely. The problem is where the step has a bend in the edge. A layer would see that and go HOLY CRAP BATMAN, I'm outta here! The thing is, he should have raised the prob BEFORE he proceeded laying the rest of it. But no matter what carpet is used, those bent steps will be a nightmare to get a nice neat finish. Who was the dumbass that made the curved step anyway. That is where this problem began. It should have been straight. The carpet store have a difficult prob to overcome, but they should have sussed it out well before now. Ash. Re: Problem with carpet supplier/fitter 19Jan 26, 2008 1:28 pm No way Ash….I’ve seen lots of stairs like this!!!
Yes Sisal makes if difficult, a plain carpet would have been better. The measurer should have known this while he was measuring them! But it still can be done. The real difficult job is over locking that shape of carpet all in one piece.

It takes a little extra carpet to do, but it can be done!!!! So is the carpet already over locked and waiting at the store? Did the layer come with the stair carpet the day he laid the rest of your house! Something has happened…… I have the carpet here, and no it hasn't been overlocked. The layer arrived with the carpet on the day. It's a relief that it can be laid. Thanks for putting my mind at ease Michelle. I will now stick to my guns and expect perfection.
