Fixed Width Materials: Select at least this length from the drop down list on the runner product page - sold by the linear foot.
Custom Size Materials: Input at least this length result into the length dimension for your custom size runner. However, custom size products allow dimensions of feet and inches as needed.
Length calculation uses 19 inches per tread + riser total, a safe number for most straight stairs. SEE MORE INFO BELOW

Number of Risers
Riser = The vertical component between each step/tread. You’ll have 1 more riser than tread in a run of steps - this field will auto-fill adding 1 to tread count.

Tread and Riser Count
Number of treads and risers: You'll have one more riser than tread in a run of steps - the riser count above will fill automatically based on the tread count entered. For a split staircase, calculate/enter each tread count separately. Add the resulting footage together for the total footage you should order.
Tread + Riser Dimension
A typical dimension of a tread + riser is most often a total of 18 to 19 inches. This form uses 19 inches when calculating footage. If your stairs vary significantly from this dimension, you may need to adjust the footage required.
