Carpet Installation
Cost and Carpet Installation
In figuring how much you want to pay for
carpeting installation, be sure to include not
only the cost of the amount of carpet needed,
but also the cost of padding and installation.
An inexpensive pad may serve you as well
as an expensive one. On the other hand, polyurethane pads can
last at least 10 years under nylon carpeting
unless subjected to severe wear and abuse.
When you are looking for carpet installation service, keep this in mind - most carpet
retailers will measure your
home and provide estimates free of charge.
The yardage often exceeds the amount of
square yards to be covered in your home
because most carpet is made in 12-foot widths
that may not fit your room size.
Also, the direction of nap or pile must be matched for a
good appearance. The retailers or designers
who estimate the amount of carpet needed to
cover your floors take into account the extra
amount needed to match pattern design and
pile direction.
Be sure their layout plan is
clearly understood by your installer, or you
may have carpet seams in heavy traffic areas.
Having seams in highly visible places is
undesirable because carpets tend to shrink
when cleaned and seams will show more.
