Project overview

The goal, materials, and finished scope.

In August 2026, Floors Now completed a residential stair and hallway runner project in Glastonbury. The goal was to help protect the main hardwood walking path while keeping the surrounding wood visible. The staircase was ready for installation, so the Floors Now scope required no flooring removal or stair preparation. Binding was coordinated through a South Windsor fabrication partner, and the patterned 28-inch NRF Select Sicily runner in Palermo was centered and installed with carpet pad across 13 stairs using the Hollywood method. A matching 8-foot-9-inch hallway runner completed the scope. The work was finished in a few hours during one day.
