A Complete Guide to Carpet Flooring Installation

• A carpet that feels soft and luxurious under your
  feet expresses a lot about the personality and
  lifestyle. If you are looking for a new carpet
  flooring installation ensure that you contact
  reputed installers and choose the right carpet.

Here are a few tips that should be followed. 

• Choosing the right carpet type There are two
  aspects, the cut, and the fiber. Carpet cut
  includes plush (or cut) pile, Berber cut pile,
  Berber loop pile, cut-and-loop pile, and
  commercial loop. The fibers are wool, coir, and
  synthetic fiber such as nylon, polyester, and
  olefin. Formal areas should have plush wool
  carpets while polyester with flecks of color is
  suitable for high-traffic areas.

• Disposing the existing carpet Pulling up an old
  carpet can be difficult with years of dirt and
  animal hair embedded in them. Installers wear a
  mask while doing so and carefully remove moldings
  around the floor and the door before cutting it
  out.
• Laying the under-pad The floor has to be
  thoroughly cleaned and dried before carpet
  flooring installation. Next, the old cushion will
  be removed and replaced with new pads, making a
  huge difference in the feel and performance of
  the new carpet.

• Installing the new carpet The carpet pieces must
  be marginally larger than the room with an
  overlay of about six inches. Trimming the overlay
  is tricky and its important to cut the carpet
  correctly.
• Matching the seams Most rooms require more than
  one carpet which should be precisely cut so that
  the seams match perfectly. A seaming tape is then
  attached with a seaming iron as otherwise, the
  seams will not seal fully. 
• These are the steps followed by professionals for
  accurate carpet flooring installation.
