Carpet is a beautiful and practical addition to any home but to get the most out of it, it really needs to be laid properly. Here’s some more information.

After you’ve picked your new carpet, you will need to have it laid in your home. Whether it’s in one room or the whole home, having it laid correctly means that you’ll get the most from your carpet for years to come. Always get the professionals to lay the carpet as it needs to fit your room/s exactly. They will also ensure that the joins and seams are correctly placed, both to hide them and also ensure that the carpet lasts longer. As well, the professionals will correctly stretch the carpet so that wrinkles and bulges don’t develop over time, causing problems of their own.

After the laying is complete, ventilate the room well to remove the smells. Vacuum the carpet to remove the loose fibres left over from the laying probes. If there are any leftovers, try and keep them if practical in case you need to replace sections of your carpet in the future. Larger size off cuts can also be made into mats to protect high traffic areas.
