A job for professionals
Carpet installation is a profession, and it should only be conducted by skilled tradespeople.
Things to consider when installing carpet
Ideally the area to be carpeted should be measured by your retailer, who will consider the way rooms flow into one another, how ambient light falls, and the way foot traffic will ‘funnel’ e.g. from a hallway to bedrooms.
Tip: Keep a sample of carpet and all documentation.
