DO YOU WANT CHANGE YOUR OLD CARPET
THIS IS EASY:
HOW TO CHANGE THE CARPET YOUR SELF :
1- The glued the carpet is definitely the easiest method to achieve. Of course, it is necessary to buy a carpet for it to file appropriate (usually sole foam) carpets woven uncoated file can not be glued. It is essential to have a plan and clean soil will be carefully prepared (scraped, washed and thoroughly dusted). A greasy soil does not allow the glue to adhere the carpet and may peel off and make folds.
2-Then roll out the carpet in the room in one piece or in several strips, put it in position. Never cut a carpet before making sure it completely covers the entire floor of the room, because an error can not be repaired. So take precautions, especially in rooms whose walls are not straight. Then cut the carpet to size of the room by providing on all sides a few inches for arasements. To cut the carpet, the easiest way is to use scissors cut-all for working quickly, or a carpet knife.
3-. Then proceed to glue with a notched trowel. It is necessary to choose a suitable adhesive to the type of carpet (it is usually indicated by the manufacturer). Adhesives for acrylic or vinyl resins or latex glue is most often used. Contact the adhesives neoprene double gluing are also used in a number of cases, as well as "peelable" glues that allow easy separation. It is better for an amateur to use an adhesive to open long enough time (time available for bonding, drying too fast) which allows corrections to the position.
4. Great care must be given to arasements because nothing is more unsightly than carpet incorrectly adjusted against the wall (the installation of skirting overcomes this drawback). First, carefully mark the line of the cut with the round end scissors (although engaging the carpet in the corner). Follow this line with the cutter. Cut frankly to get a straight cut.
5. There are special tools for leveling carpets. The spurs come in different shapes and enable a perfect junction with the wall. With the cutter, it may indeed realize after the fact that it was cut a little short. It is always advisable to hold the cutter at an inclination which will then allow the carpet to get to the wall.
