Question

Accepted Answer

There’s no single ‘best’ carpet for a coastal-terrace stair runner—choice depends on traffic, exposure to sand/salt and desired look. Durable fibres and tighter constructions withstand coastal wear better; wool provides warmth and resilience but synthetics can offer improved stain resistance and easier maintenance. Consider pile height (shorter pile generally safer on stairs), pattern scale to hide wear, and careful seam placement. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins on long runs; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. Professional measuring and fitting are important for safety and appearance.
