Measuring & Fitting Guides
Measuring Guide
Accurate measurements are crucial when it comes to buying carpets, as they ensure you purchase the right amount without excess waste or shortage. Follow these steps to measure your space accurately:
Arranging Your Fitting
Room Dimensions
Measure the length and width of the room where the carpet will be installed. For irregularly shaped rooms, break them down into smaller sections for easier measurement.
Doorways and Transitions
Note any doorways, transitions, or alcoves within the room that may affect the carpet layout.
Account for Extra
Add extra inches to your measurements to accommodate for any cutting errors or adjustments during installation.
Fitting Guide
Proper fitting and installation are key to ensuring your carpet looks and performs its best. Here's what you need to know about fitting your new carpet:
Subfloor Preparation
Ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installation. Remove any old carpeting, padding, or debris.
Underlay Selection
Choose the appropriate underlay for your carpet type and subfloor. Underlay helps with comfort, insulation, and noise reduction.
Carpet Placement
Lay out the carpet according to your measurements, making sure to align patterns and seams correctly.
Stretching and Securing
Use a power stretcher to stretch the carpet tightly and secure it along the edges. Trim excess carpet and tuck it neatly against walls.
Finishing Touches
Install transition strips or thresholds where the carpet meets other flooring types for a seamless look.
DIY or Professional Installation?
