Hot take: that 15 lb pad everyone swears by is wrong for 90% of the stairs I do
Pulled up a stair runner in a house in Cincinnati on Tuesday and the guy before me put 15 lb pad under it. Felt like walking on a trampoline and the carpet had rubbed through at every nose after 2 yrs. I switched to 8 lb on stairs about a yr ago and no callbacks since. I know half the guys on here will say 15 lb is the standard, but on a closed stair with a bullnose, the thick stuff just rolls and bunches. Curious what pad weight you all run on stairs and whether anyone has made 15 lb work long term.
