Before laying the carpet in the apartment with your own hands, choose its appearance and decide on the main characteristics. Currently produced carpet from synthetic materials. It should be noted that the only natural material is wool – the woolen carpet perfectly masks any irregularities of the floor, it is perfectly cleaned, it is wear -resistant, but at the same time it is quite expensive. Synthetic coatings also retain their original appearance for a long time, do not require special care and have excellent moisture resistance. The only minus of such coatings is that they are usually painted with aggressive chemical compositions, which can affect human health. Think about how it will be in the room and under what conditions to be operated. Materials, type of pile, as well as the degree of trimming of the material are different for different rooms. Before covering the floor with carpet, you should first calculate its meter and purchase the necessary materials – a substrate, construction tape, a skirting board for carpet. Before laying the carpet, you need to prepare the floor, remove the previous carpet and the remnants of adhesive tape. The floor should be level the floor, remove moisture and excess dust. Before installation, the carpet should be decomposed and bring the room to the level and humidity – this will help you protect the coating from the appearance of creases, tubercles and wrinkles. The easiest way to lay carpet is the usual styling on a pre -prepared surface, without gluing. To fix free flooring, as a rule, only a skirting board for carpet is used. However, the movement of heavy objects or furniture is possible partial or even a complete shift of the coating, thus fixed.
There is a more reliable, but at the same time a popular and easy type of laying carpet coatings – this is a laying using double -sided tape. Building bilateral tape is glued in the form of a mesh along the perimeter of the room, while additionally glued the edges of the coating. Remember that the gluing of the carpet can be double – in this case, a special substrate is glued to the floor, after which the carpet itself is glued to it. This method is used, as a rule, for gluing carpet on concrete.
After laying the carpet, it requires not complicated, but regular care – dry cleaning of the carpet at home – this is the use of special means for caring for carpet and carrying out once a month of general cleaning of the coating.
