Choosing a carpet is quite simple, but problems may arise with its styling. If everything is done correctly, such a coating will serve you for several decades, but if you take it negligently, then in the future you will be uneven, hillocks and similar negative phenomena.
Carpet can be laid in two ways: on glue and without glue. Before starting styling, some preparatory work should be carried out. First of all, all the necessary measurements should be made. No wonder experts say that the right measurements are already half the case. To do this, it is better not to be too lazy and make a room plan, with all the notchs for batteries, various niches and door rapids. Rely on data that are indicated in technical terms for the room. By drawing a room plan, you can go to the store for carpet. Show the seller a plan and he will help you choose the best option.
Before you start styling, carefully clean the floor of dirt and dust. Next, the carpet should be laid out on the area of the room, and this must be done so that the extra edges of the canvas bend into all four walls. The supply should be approximately 10 cm, later it will be useful to you. You should start styling with one corner, then move along the wall so that the other edge also rests on the corner. Pay special attention to the doorways and niches – here you need to fit everything very accurately before cutting the carpet.
Extra parts are best trimmed using a special profile or ordinary board. It is better to start cutting carpets from the center – this will avoid various irregularities and curvatures. Try to cut the canvas with narrow stripes – this will allow you to more accurately adjust the carpet to the dimensions of the room. When pruning the canvas, 1-2 cm of “overlap” should be left-later it will hide under the skirting boards. If the carpet has holes for pipes, then they must be fixed with tape, otherwise it will subsequently begin to exfoliate.
If a different type or color of the carpet is used in the next room, then the joint between the two materials can be disguised using the profile. To do this, you can simply glue it or screw it to the floor with screws.
A more time -consuming way is the laying of carpet on glue. It is believed that this way of laying is more reliable. For this, before laying the canvas, the surface is coated with special glue. It is better not to save glue, otherwise you will come across hillocks and wrinkles later.
Today, adhesive styling becomes less and less popular, since when you change the coating you will have to remove the remains of the carpet from the floor. If you do not intend to do this, then feel free to put the carpet on the glue, since this type of styling is more durable.
