Removing the Old Carpet
Prior to fitting your brand-new carpet, it is vital that you do a number of things so that the process is smooth and seamless. First of all, you need to make sure that your old carpet is properly removed. Alongside this, you should prepare the subfloor. You need to utilise tongue-and-groove chipboard flooring panels for a base for the final flooring. Next, you need to prepare your boards by making sure that there are no nails sticking out above the surface and nailing down all loose boards.
Carpet Underlay
It’s important to invest in a good-quality underlay that will increase your flooring’s longevity. Underlays will reduce your energy bills by keeping heat and increasing insulation. You need to lay the underlay loosely in the space with the rubber side facing down. Then you need to use a knife to cut it so the underlay is at the same level as the grippers. Finally, you need to butt the edges together and join with tape. The edges should not overlap and the underlay is flat and level.
Laying a Carpet
When you are laying your carpet, you need to start by laying your carpet loosely in position. You should cut the excess vertically above the corners and trim overlapping triangles. Next, you will begin fitting the carpet. You should cut along the edge, holding the carpet flat whilst you cut. Next, you need to use the carpet tucker to push the surplus carpet down between the skirting and the gripper.
