THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CARPET INSTALLATION

Move the furniture

Installing a brand new carpet is not as easy as just laying it down on the floor. One of the first steps to installing carpets is to move the furniture of the room somewhere else. This is also a good time to detach any piece of furniture that may still be attached to the wall. Also, don't just leave your electronic devices lying there; promptly remove them for the meantime. You can return your electronics and furniture back to where they were originally placed after the entirety of the installation has been done.

Cutting the carpet

When you purchase carpets, most of the time they will come in large rectangular pieces. If you're room does not have such a shape, then you will have to cut it before laying it down completely. You can have the carpet pre-cut but make sure to have experts do it for you if you don't know what you're doing or about to do.

Stretching and trimming

After the carpet has been laid out with care, its edges will be ready to be glued and seamed together. After which, the flooring will be stretched and trimmed, then adhered to the tack strips; or it could be placed into the adhesive, as with the case for many commercial installations.

Still, do note that not all carpet seams will allow for near invisible seam installation.
