Seagrass Stair Runners – Supply & Fit in West Sussex
A rustic, natural look for your staircase.
Seagrass runners offer a very distinct, rustic look with their greenish-golden tones and basketweave texture. While less common than Sisal due to the smoother finish, they are chosen by those wanting an authentic, organic cottage feel.
Pros & Cons on Stairs
Pros: It looks unique, is very stain resistant, and ages beautifully. Cons: It can be slippery in socks compared to Sisal. It wears slightly faster on the "nose" of the stair than Sisal.
Our Recommendation
For a main family staircase, we usually recommend Sisal over Seagrass for safety and longevity. However, for a secondary stair or a cottage setting where the rustic aesthetic is #1, Seagrass is a beautiful choice.
⚠️ Specialist Fitting Required
WARNING: Seagrass is smoother/more slippery than Sisal. We advise caution when using it on stairs in socks. Fitting it on winders is very difficult due to rigidity.
