Where Hearth Runner works best

Hearth Runner is designed for the spots where floors feel coldest: along hearths, in passages and at kitchen edges where you stand the most. The grip-backed felt keeps the runner steady, even in busy homes and workspaces.

It's an easy way to add warmth and softness to hard flooring, especially in Highveld winters or coastal cottages with tiled floors. Residential hallways, stoep entrances and even the edge of a braai room all take well to this kind of runner.

How it performs underfoot

This runner has a soft, cushioned feel underfoot that instantly takes the chill off hard surfaces. The combination of dense felt and a grip back means shoes, feet and even playful kids or pets enjoy good comfort and stability.

Felt naturally muffles footsteps and clatter, helping tame echo in long passages or open-plan kitchens. The edge is bound soft, so it stays neat and resists curling. Non-woven felt means the sides do not fray, even with regular foot traffic.

Choosing size, thickness and colour

Hearth Runner comes in lengths between 2.0 and 4.5 metres and widths from 700 to 900 mm. Measure your space carefully: leave enough clearance near doors to avoid snagging.

Pick a colourway that fits your room’s palette. Options include Sage Field, Mist Paper, Ink Edge, Soft Leaf, Stone Wash, Cloud Pale, Forest Mute, Sand Quiet, Clay Mute and Teal Soft. If you’re unsure, ask to see samples at our Woodstock studio or any of our showroom bays.

Fitting and first months on South African floors

Lay your runner felt side up, making sure the grip back is in full contact with the floor. For homes in Joburg’s dry winter, a runner keeps the early morning chill away. In coastal areas, felt shrugs off moderate humidity but avoid letting the runner stay damp or dirty for long periods.

Regular vacuuming lifts dust and grit, keeping the felt fresh. If you need to spot clean, use a cool damp cloth and blot, not rub. Rotate the runner occasionally if one end sits in direct sun, as UV can fade the dyes faster.
