Carpet Laying

Laying a carpet requires the use of qualitymaterials - then it will last you longer. To lay the carpet, in addition to the carpet, you will need a substrate and an inflatable rake. With help Influenza carpet is fixed around the perimeter of the room. It has the appearance of a wooden bar with spines, located under a slope. Carpet laying using substrates prolongs its service life, and also increasescomfort and softness of the coating. Rubber (flat or corrugated), felt (natural or synthetic) or polyurethane foam is used as the substrate. The substrate should be elastic, the optimum thickness - 6-10 mm.

The carpet is laid after floor preparation. It is necessary to remove the remains of the old coating,straighten the concrete screed. You can also lay the carpet on the raised floor. Laying the carpet should be done taking into account the direction of the pile covering, and it is also possible to avoid joints if possible. There are five main ways of laying carpet: glutinous, glutinous, simultaneous connection, decking on scotch and stretching.

Laying the carpet in an adhesive manner suitable for small spaces where you canlay carpet with a single sheet. When determining the area of ​​the carpet sheet do not forget to take into account the allowance - it should be larger than the floor area by 5-10 cm on each side. The carpet sheet is laid on the floor, its edges should protrude above the skirting board. It is leveled with a special roller from the middle to the edges. Then the corners of the coating are cut out in the form of the letter V and cut off along the perimeter of the walls. Fasten the carpet with a metal strip at the doorway.

Laying carpet with glue It is used for stronger fixation. The roll of the carpet needs to be unfolded and cut to the desired size and put on the floor. Then the sheet bends in the center, and the free space of the floor is covered with glue (most often - PVA) with a spatula. Try not to use too much glue - it can break through the carpet and ruin it. Allow the glue to dry for a couple of minutes, and then glue the bent portion of the carpet sheet onto it and smooth it with a roller. The second half of the coating sheet is glued in exactly the same way. In a small room it is permissible to paste only the edges and joints of the carpet.

When carpet covering by simultaneous connection the material is cut and unfolded in the same way,as in the case of glueless and glutinous laying of the carpet. However, the coating sheets are overlapped by about 3-5 cm. Apply glue to 2/3 of the width of the canvas and glue it. Do the same with the second piece. Then lift the carpet, cover the floor with glue, simultaneously cut both sides of the material with a ruler, lower them and smooth them. This laying of the carpet is suitable for large rooms.

Carpet laying by the method of flooring on scotch tape - cheap, simple, but short-lived way. It is especially common in Europe and allows you to change the coatings at will. Laying the carpet on the scotch lasts about three years, then the coating will have to be repainted. To lay the carpet to these methods, you will only need tape and tape to glue carpets. This technology is similar to the adhesive method, but instead of glue - double-sided adhesive tape.

Very popular laying kovrolina by stretching. The fact is that carpet, as well as almost anyother carpeting, elastic. When laying the carpet in this way, the material is pulled using special tools on narrow rails with two rows of nails fixed around the perimeter of the walls. To take into account their possible curvature, we must not forget about the allowances. Then the excess carpet is cut off. However, laying the carpet in a stretch-making way is done mainly by professionals - it's not so easy to master this method yourself.

Laying a carpet requires compliance with the temperature regime. The temperature and humidity of the carpet mustcoincide with the temperature and humidity of the room in which the coating will be laid. The optimum temperature in the room is 18-25 ° С, humidity - 10-65%. After laying the carpet with glue, do not immediately put furniture on it: shrinkage of the glue and the docking tape takes place within 24 hours.

Quality carpet laying with observance of all rules and technologies of layingworks, and also with the use of high-quality coating and auxiliary materials, significantly extends the service life of the carpet. If the carpeting is not for you - we can advise you to lay a laminate or parquet.
