Blank gripper (blind or felt gripper-rods) for natural fibre and flatweave stair runners. FREE DELIVERY

Blank gripper-rods for natural fibre and flatweave stair runners. FREE DELIVERY.

Also known as blind gripper, blank gripper-rod or felt gripper.

These grippers are made for fitting flatweave and natural fibre stair runners, such as sisal, seagrass, jute and wool flatweaves. Ordinary carpet gripper has sharp pins angled upwards. On a thin woven runner they can come through the face, or snag and fray it. Blank gripper has a felt-like microfilm across the top that holds the runner firmly without damaging it. The only pins face downwards, into the stair, and there is no glue strip.

Please note: we only sell these grippers with a purchase of underlay and/or a stair runner, because the postage on its own is too high.

How many do I need?

We are probably the only company online that sells these gripper-rods in stair runner friendly lengths, to save waste and needless expense.

As a rule of thumb, and for guidance only: 1 step needs 2 sticks of gripper, one for the tread and one for the riser. Choose a width 5 cm less than your runner and you will be fine. They are easy to cut down.
