I don't think I would trust carpet tape on the stairs, it would be a hard wipe out. But to measure, use the Depth plus height of one stair and then multiply it by the number of stairs. add 2 or 3 for waste/ rolling voer the lip edged etc.

If its thick and plush, probably not essential but if its thinner and you want a bit more cushion, definitely do it!

Hey! I don't think it will help much with the noise BUT, if you screw through the treads to secure them to the stair stringers, a stair runner will hide that and it should stop the noise.

Does this reduces wooden stairs quirking noise in any way? It looks easier to install instead of installing carpet for whole floors like professionals do.

it doesn't but if you have a squeaky stair and plan to install a runner, you can use screws to screw through the stairs to stop the squeak and then cover it with the runner. Hope that helps!
