Carpet Installation the professional way
Carpet cleaning might be a chore, but the thought of spending time installing a new carpet is for many about as exciting as root canal surgery – perhaps even more painful. Of course, there’s no escaping the fact that installing a carpet is a physically demanding task and demands a decent amount of strength and effort, but when boiled down to its basics it really isn’t the most difficult job in the world. In fact, with a few specialist tools and the willpower to succeed, pretty much anyone can try their hand at installing a new carpet.
Before getting started you’ll need to get yourself the right tools, which you can either buy or perhaps rent from any decent specialist in carpet cleaning Penrose has to offer. Make sure you have a:
- Stretcher
- Kicker
- Cutter
- Iron
- Tape for Seams
- Stripper
Step One
Before getting started on your new carpet, you will of course have to get rid of your current carpet. Now, most will choose to shred theirs to pieces and dispose of it in the trash, but there’s every chance that by hiring the best service offering carpet cleaning Penrose has to offer, you might be able to resell, or at least recycle your old carpet.
Once you’ve taken care of the carpet cleaning, you can either rip the carpet up in separate strips by cutting straight lines with a knife, or try to get the whole thing up at once.
Be advised – the former of the two is always the simpler!
Make sure the floor is clean and dry and you’re ready to move on.
Step Two
Lay down the carpet tack strips of your choice around the outside of the room, remembering not to put any in front of doorways! Once positioned, lay the underpad to overlay the strips, trimming as necessary and sealing seams with duct tape.
Step Three
Carry out a little minor carpet cleaning beforehand if dust is present, then cut the carpet so that is as least a few inches larger than the surface area it is to cover. Lay down the carpet and use the kicker to stretch it over the tackles strips laid out around the perimeter. You will then be able to precisely cut the excess carpet to the perfect size.
Tackle one part of the room at a time for simplicity.
Step Three
Last but not least, finish up by installing your choice of strips for the doorways and around the walls if skirting boards are not present.
Once your carpet has been installed, it is hugely beneficial to seek out the very best professional carpet cleaning Auckland has to offer and ensure your new installation is given a thorough servicing at least annually, in order to protect both your investment and indeed the health of the household.
