Carpet Fitters Bishop Auckland

It's important to prepare the surfaces of the floor appropriately before you begin putting down the carpet. A level, solid, firm floor surface free of cracks, bevels or edges is vital. This becomes more critical when you are fitting thinner carpet because the defects in the surface of the floor might become visible in the finished carpet surface. Any previously laid flooring materials such as linoleum, vinyl or laminate should also be taken up. Some of these floor coverings are not usually the ideal surfaces for the carpeting to lay on.

Picking a padded and high quality underlay will help to make your carpets last much longer and also be more comfortable to walk on. The degree of sound insulation will also be increased, especially on homes with wooden flooring. The only downside of thick underlay is that you may well have to cut a bit off your internal doors to ensure that they clear the carpet. If your carpet fitter isn't willing to get this done for you, you'll be obliged to bring in a handyman or carpenter.

The process of fitting a carpet can certainly be a challenging job. Being weighty and cumbersome, rolls of carpet are not easy to handle, but they have to be manoeuvred into position and ready to fit. Fitting carpet gripper rods round the sides of the room guarantees the carpet will not slide around in use. Except where there are transitions or door thresholds, these carpet gripper or smooth edge are placed all around the edges of the room.

By using a handy gadget called a "knee kicker" or "stretcher", the carpet fitter will lay your carpets neatly and accurately. The main tool that's employed by carpet fitters this peculiar looking contrivance has got a sponge type pad at one end and a flat plate with teeth on the other. To make certain the carpet fits to perfection, the "knee-kicker" tool presses the carpet into place all along the perimeters of the wall. If your fitter is up to the mark you ought to finish up with a carpet that's got no lumps or creases and that is beautifully flat and level.
