Professional Carpet Installation: The Carpet Plus Guarantee
Beautiful new wall-to-wall carpet can add warmth and comfort to your home. However, improper carpet installation can result in wrinkles, fraying seams, and more, ultimately leading to premature replacement. Simply put, proper installation is absolutely critical to the performance of your carpet.
At Carpet Plus, our nationally certified installers use advanced tools and technology to ensure that every carpet we install will continue looking beautiful for many years to come. Keep reading to learn how we do it.
SEALING WITH GLUE STICKS
All cut carpet edges must be sealed prior to creating the carpet seams. Our installers use innovative glue sticks that are engineered to create a welded seam during the seaming process. Cut carpet edges that have been sealed with these glue sticks use the heat on the top portion of the hot-melt iron to reactivate the sealed edges and weld the two cut edges back together.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
- No hinging (also known as “seam peaking”)
- No fraying of edges
- Faster drying for less mess
SEAMING TOOL AND SYSTEM
If seaming is not done properly during the installation process, it can cause seams to split which can be a real eyesore. A common cause of this is using too hot of an iron or too much force to stretch the carpet together. We use a cutting-edge heatless carpet seaming tool that ensures a strong bond for the life of your carpet.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
- No smoke, odor, or VOC’s
- No heat distortion
- No dripping glue
- No burning or damaging of carpet
- No delamination of backing
WRINKLE-FREE TECHNIQUE
Wrinkling in carpet is not only unsightly, but it can also be a tripping hazard. Our installers use a combination of tools and technique that allows us to confidently guarantee that your carpet will remain wrinkle-free. First, we use a wider tack strip (known as “architectural”) than the industry standard. Because it’s wider, it has more pins and is able to have a better hold on the carpet. Second, we use a tool to power stretch the carpet (many installers simply use the “knee-kick” method) to ensure a smoother, tauter install.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
- Prevents wrinkling and buckling
- Prevents damage to the carpet
- Prevents delamination of secondary backing
