runners by the foot

Most runners here span lengths from 73" to 297" (about 6 ft 1 in to 24 ft 9 in), with a common mid-length option at 144" (12 ft). Widths are generally around 26" to 31".

The listings show mostly flatwoven or low-pile construction and some cut-pile options. Reported pile heights include flat, low (under 0.5"), and medium (0.5"–1").

Many runners advertise protective qualities such as stain resistance, fade resistance, mildew resistance, UV protection and water resistance. Some descriptions also note reduced shedding when the rug is properly cared for.

Yes. Low-pile runners are shown and promoted specifically to fit under doors and to suit hallways or staircases, making them a good choice for narrow traffic areas where door clearance matters.

Runners in these listings are made from polyester, jute and polypropylene. Backing materials shown include 100% cotton and jute, and some machine-made styles note a recycled-fiber backing.

Runner construction varies: many are machine-made (described as loom-woven, machine-woven or power-loomed), while others are handmade (hand-woven or braided). Listings may use different terms, but they generally fall into these two categories.

Care depends on the material: - Low-pile polyester/polypropylene: some are machine-washable (air-dry recommended); otherwise spot-clean with mild detergent, rinse and blot dry. Vacuum without a beater bar and rotate for even wear. - Jute and other natural fibers (handmade): avoid soaking—shake to remove debris, spot or wipe clean, trim loose yarns, blot spills immediately; water can damage or discolor fibers. - Machine-made polypropylene: typically spot-clean with mild detergent, rinse and blot dry; vacuum regularly. Follow the listing’s care instructions.

Common backing materials shown include 100% cotton and jute. Some machine-made, low-pile rugs also list a recycled-fiber backing.
