Carpet Installation, Carpet Car – Preparatory Details before Installation
 |
Finally getting your
new carpet into your home involves a few different steps. The installation experts
will take care of most things, but you still need to be aware of the preparatory
details. |
Details
Before your new carpet hits the floor, iron out these details. Remember, your
retailer will provide you with installation experts.
 |
Who
is responsible for moving furniture in the room?
|
 |
Who
removes and disposes of the old carpet and underlay?
|
 |
Are
there any extra charges for these services?
|
 |
Where
will the carpet seams/joins be placed?
|
Room Preparation
Be sure to prepare the room for the installation.
|
Vacuum
the old carpet to avoid airborne dust or particles.
|
|
Make
sure the carpet installation is the last remodeling project for the room, after
any painting, wallpapering or construction.
|
During Installation
You've got a role to play during the big roll out.
|
Vacuum
the floor after the old carpet and underlay are removed.
|
|
Inspect
the new carpet as it's unrolled for the proper color, texture and style.
|
|
Make
sure the installers properly stretch the new carpet to minimize wrinkles and ripples.
|
|
If
the new carpet prevents doors from opening, arrange to have them trimmed and rehung.
|
 |
Ventilate
the room well - open doors, windows and run exhaust fans.
|
After The Event
Set the stage for quality care.
|
Vacuum
to remove the loose fibres.
|
|
Ventilate
the area for the first 48 to 72 hours, so the new carpet smell will disappear.

Tip
When purchasing Stainmaster® Carpet we recommend that you select underlay
with appropriate thickness to handle the traffic on the carpet. In a bedroom,
a thick, soft underlay works well, but in a family room with lots of coming and
going, a thin underlay works better. |
