What we do in England, with runners is gripper and underlay and water fall them, we never staple under the nose.
But what I do a lot of is sisal, and coir on stairs as runners.
And with that, we durafit /double stick them.
It's absolutely horses for courses, tomato/tomarto..😁
Both ways are correct, depending on what side of the pond you're on...
Wish I could upload pictures of my work..😁🤟😎

You could upload photos to your you tube! I’m in usa and about to diy a runner on my basement stairs that are sadly very poorly built , but the tread only stick out a little 1/2”? And varies! So thinking of a waterfall style. I grew up in UK and can’t remember how stars were carpeted, but if you say you always waterfall runners I think I’ll go for that !

Love the way it looks

Thanks

Nice work Keith! Question, which way is better to install the carpet padding? Is it better to go over and around the nosing, or cut padding up to the where tread begins to round off?
Will I get better wear going around the nosing, or will that make for a bulkier look? I've seen it done both ways.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

That is a great question. Carpet will always wear better if you run them under padding over the nose, but yes, it can get bulkier and it can show from the side out of the front of the stair runner now if you don’t have a side view and you can deal with that gap you can always put the padding over the edge. We only usually run our padding up to the nose of the stair just because we know how it looks, when it runs over now, there’s two schools of thought some people always wanna run it over because that’s what the manufacturer recommends but we’ve been installing for a long time and we have noticed that we’d like it to go nice and tight against the nose of the stair
