INSTALLATION PROCESS

Determine the area: First of all we must know the area where

carpeting needs to be done. Dimension of the area will define the amount of carpet we require.

Clean the subfloor: Cleaning of subfloor is important. It should be

free from dust, dirt and moisture and it must be smooth too.

Lay the underlay: This is also known as carpet pad. It is laid

over subfloor using adhesive and it is available in different material sponge rubber, foam. It also gives cushioned feeling while walking over it.

Trim the underlay: Underlay should not be overlapped to each

other. So trimming should be done properly.

Trim the carpet to size: Cut the carpet 3” bigger than the area where

it should be installed. 3” extra is taken for error and to match the pattern and design of the carpet.

Apply adhesive: Apply the adhesive on bottom of the carpet. Usually synthetic adhesive is used.

Lay the carpet: Carpet is laid by side by side keeping in mind

its pattern, design and edges where it should join to other piece of carpet. It should not overlap on each other and also do not allow the air between carpet and underlay.

Stretch the carpet: Stretch the carpet from all the sides

with hands and with knee kicker. It should not be

stretched too much.

Attach the edge of the carpet: Attach the edges of the carpet . Here joining of

pattern and design is important. Because one inch difference can spoil entire flooring.

Cut the excess carpet: After adjusting from all the sides.

There will be excess carpet that should be trimmed.

Tuck the edge of the carpet: Tuck the edges of the carpet from all the sides in steel channel. Steel channels are available in different width.
