Installation
A flawless installation of your commercial carpet
You’ve bought your new carpet, now the real work begins! When installing a carpet, you only get one chance to do it right. Especially with commercial wall-to-wall carpeting, every inch counts and making mistakes could cost you a lot of time and money.
That is why we recommend leaving this job up to an experienced professional. However, it is important that you are also aware of what needs to be done and what needs to be paid extra attention to. Need some advice? We’d be happy to help you on your way.
Tools for professional carpet installation
First thing’s first: in order to achieve the best results when installing your wall-to-wall carpet, you need the right tools. You will need:
- the carpet you will be placing;
- single-component adhesive;
- a knife;
- a trowel.
Preparation
Good preparation is key for any successful project. Before you start installing the carpet, make sure to:
- check if the carpet meets your expectations (measurements, color, design, …);
- clean the subfloor;
- create a detailed fitting plan before cutting the carpet;
- leave the carpet rolled out flat for 24 hours beforehand.
During the installation
For the installation of your commercial carpet, we have three recommendations:
- Be sure to fit all the pieces of carpet with the pile positioned in the same direction.
- Make sure the carpet is installed as flat as possible with an even tension.
- Use adhesive showing the EC1 label as these are solvent free, environmentally friendly and have a low number of emissions.
