3 Things to Do Before the Carpet Installation Process Begins

Posted on: 24 June 2020

One great way to make your home look great and feel luxurious is by installing carpet flooring. Carpet flooring isn't just a great gift to your feet, but it also expresses the lifestyle and personality of your family. No matter the kind of carpet you intend to install, you can find luxurious styles that add incredible value and comfort in your home.

When choosing the carpet to install, don't just consider the fibres, but also the warranty. But before carpet installation begins, you should make your home ready for the process, and here's how you do it.

Remove Furniture and Other Items in the Room

Most carpet installation experts expect you to clear the room before they arrive. However, some experts will help you remove the larger and delicate items, such as the furniture pieces, couches, wall units and beds to minimise or avoid damages. 

But for the smaller fragile items such as the television, water dispensers, and entertainment system, you should clear them out of the room yourself in advance.

Clean the Room

Once you have removed all the items out of the room, you should then clean it. Sweep the floor properly or even vacuum it to keep it clean. A dirty room doesn't just delay the carpet installation process, but it also makes the adhesives used less effective. 

For this reason, you should always allow the experts to remove the old carpet since they know how to do it without making the floor dirty. If you have to remove the old carpet yourself, do it a day before the installers come so you can have enough time to clean the room.

Create a Pathway for Easy Navigation

The carpet installation crew will require a pathway for easy movement when installing the carpet. If you don't create a spacious pathway, the installation experts might have a hard time getting the large carpet roll to the installation site. 

Avoid any clumsy hallways, narrow doors or even sharp corners that might make the delivery process overwhelming or cumbersome. Remove anything that might get damaged as the installers get to the installation site. Any furniture in the walkways, light fixtures that hang low or picture frames or art on the walls could hinder easy navigation in a big way.

If you get your home ready for the new carpet in advance, the carpet installation process will be smooth and quick. Moreover, your assets won't get damaged when installing the carpet if proper preparation is done. So before you call in the installation experts to lay a new carpet in your home, ensure you clear all the items, clean the room, and create a spacious pathway for easy navigation.
