A warm brass finish for a traditional hallway. Thirteen rods, twin locking brackets, every screw you need and the drill bit, for carpet runners up to 70cm wide.
Everything is in the box
No second order halfway up the stairs, and no trip to the hardware shop for fixings.

Why these ones
TWIN LOCKING BRACKETS
Two brackets per rod rather than one, locking it at both ends. The rod stays level and the runner cannot creep or ruck underfoot on a staircase that gets used all day.
RIGID TUBE, NOT A THIN ROD
Heavy gauge metal that holds its line across the full width of a step instead of bowing in the middle. The rust resistant coating keeps it clean in a hallway that sees damp coats and direct sunlight.
CUT TO YOUR WIDTH
If your runner is narrower than 70cm, shorten the tube with a hacksaw or pipe cutter and drop it back into the brackets. The cut end hides inside the bracket, so a trimmed rod looks identical to a full length one.
NEW AND COMPLETE
Not a reclaimed set with pieces missing. Every rod, bracket, screw and the drill bit arrives in one box, matched and unused.
Will brass suit your hallway
Brass sits naturally with older doors, wooden banisters and warm-toned runners. If your door handles, hinges and light switches are already brass or antique gold, these will read as part of the house rather than an addition to it.

Also available in the other two finishes if this one is not the match.
Check your staircase first
Thirteen steps is the common UK staircase, which is why the pack holds thirteen rods. Not every staircase is thirteen though, so count your treads before you order. A winder or a quarter landing changes the number.

Measure the width of your runner as well, not the width of the stairs. The rods suit runners up to 70cm, and a narrower runner is fine because the tube can be cut down.

Fitting
The runner is laid first, then the rods sit in the angle where the tread meets the riser to hold it flat. Work from the bottom step up and measure each bracket position from the same edge so the line stays even all the way to the landing. A whole staircase is an afternoon with a drill. The rods are decorative and locating rather than structural, so the runner should still be fixed properly underneath.
