Laying the carpet on the floor in its apartment is a simple thing.
If you do not like your current flooring - a linoleum or a tree, or it is simply no, then the carpet will help you.
This material is pleasant to the touch, durable, will help in creating a warm floor and perfectly fit into any interior.
In the article you will learn about the peculiarities of this material and ways to lay it.
Video instructions will help you to put it right and save on the involvement of a specialist.
Features of the material
Often, people cannot decide what to choose: carpet or linoleum. And the one and the other material has its advantages, for example, linoleum is easier to clean, but the carpet is better suitable for the creation of a warm floor.
Linoleum is intelligently accommodated in the hallway or in the kitchen - places where to pollute the coating is easiest.
In the rooms and the balcony is better not to use Linoleum, making a choice in favor of warm and pleasant to the touch carpet.
You can also connect the carpet and linoleum - it will help to distinguish the space, for example, in the transition from the corridor to the room.
Carpet can be two species: from a natural woolen or artificial pile. In addition to the pile, the material also has the basis for fastening.
Every of the types of carpet has its advantages. We will first analyze the artificial type of pile - it is made of synthetic material, for this can be used nylon, olefin, polyester or polyacryl.
The most common type of coating is carpet from nylon. It can be found in the apartments of Russians most often.
Such a choice is not surprising: the coating is easy, it calmly transfers the impact of direct sunlight, the pile is not deformed and practically does not change even after the weight of the furniture standing on it.
In addition, to the touch, this type of coating is much softer and more pleasant to the analogues. Lifetime of nylon carpet - about 20 years.
The carpet from olefin is the cheapest, but in the case of its purchase, you should not hope for especially high quality and durability. It is easily deformed and its service life is 2 times less than that of nylon.
In practice, it serves no more than 5 years, instead of declared 10 years.
You can buy such a coating as a temporary measure, but if you do not plan to change the floor covering every 5 years, it is better not to save and buy a better type of carpet.
Supervous or terklon carpet is the most modern type of coating. The technology that is used for its manufacture provides him with durable use compared to nylon analogues.
The pile of this coating is easy to confuse with natural wool, so if you want the material to look as natural as possible, you can choose in favor of this type of cover.
If you want to cover exactly from natural wool for a warm floor, then before buying, do not forget to check the coating.
Make it easily - you need to tear off and set fire to the Village. If it is from natural wool, it will smooth, and the artificial material will start melting.
By the method of production, carpet can be:
- fabric;
- needle-free;
- tafting.
The first type is the most expensive, its value is little different from a good carpet. At the heart of this coating mesh based on jute.
The needle carpet is the best price-quality ratio.
It is cheaper than the first type, but very durable and durable, thanks to the method to which it makes it: the basis of the material is imposed on the threads that are poured into it with needles, and then top cover with a rubber layer.
This coating can be often found in cinemas, it is quite good, but to create a warm floor, most likely not suitable.
In addition to the listed advantages, it is also characterized by good noise insulation.
The tuffing coating is made as a needle-muble-pile to drive, and the glue is applied on top.
Carpet of this type can be a pile or loop.
The first features a different length of the pile - it can be both very long and very short.
The loop analogue has a tough basis on which loops are fixed. It is smooth enough and serves a long time, but it is difficult to clean.
Where can I use carpet?
It is possible to sharpen the carpet can be almost everywhere, but if the room temperature has too strong differentials, and the air humidity is higher than 75%, it is better to choose some other type of coating - carpet can crawl.
It is also impossible to drain this material on the floors with insulation because, firstly, the material will block heat, and secondly, the coating will spoil very quickly.
The laying of the coating is quite possible on the balcony, if thermal insulation and the temperature there corresponds to sanitary standards.
After you have chosen the material, the laying of the carpet do it yourself.
The video will help you deal with this procedure, which is not really so complicated, the main thing is to clearly follow the instructions.
How to put the coating?
Laying this coverage resembles the process when you need to sash linoleum. Therefore, if you needed a linoleum before, you will not have problems with carpet, it is even easier.
The laying of the carpet with their own hands involves in addition to the flooring of the material itself, also the preparation of the floor - it should be even, purified from dirt and dust.
If you do not do this, that is, the risk that the material will be shifted or strain.
Stitches are another possible problem when laying, so it is better to buy a carpet with a whole roll.
Roll material size is easy to pick up. It is better to choose a roll not back, but a little more - about 0.5 meters.
Consequently, the first thing you need to do before laying material to the floor is to make the size of the room and add additional 1 or 2 meters to it.
You can lay the carpet both on the wooden and on the concrete floor, but with the first difficulties it will be a little more.
To put carpet on the floor in the end of the finishing work: alignment, cleaning floor, etc. Make sure that the surface is dry.
If you are placing the material in the winter, then after its placement there must be a day, and only after that you can start using the room - this time is necessary for acclimatization.
The following tools are needed for laying the coating:
- kicker;
- coating substrate;
- wooden bar serving a grip rack;
- scraper, which can remove the solution and glue;
- putty knife;
- line;
- carpeted knives.
The laying technology on the wooden floor of the carpet can differ significantly and depends on the placement of the room and the intensity of the load, which will be on the coating.
If the room is small, it is better to make a choice in favor of free laying or stretching, and in large rooms it is best to use glue.
Fixation of carpet on glue will be needed and in the event that you plan to move heavy furniture. In other cases there will be sufficiently bilechie styling.
When choosing a laying method, consider also the second base - for a native or jute coating, it takes a fit for all other ways to place the choice is not fundamental and depends on other factors.
Laying in which the glue is not used is the fixation of the carpet with a double-sided adhesive or through the perimeter of the material.
Stacking stroke implies the creation of a substrate for coating.
First of all, the material is placed on the floor to make its size appropriate room school, considering all its features - uneven corners, protrusions, niches, pipes, etc.
After fitting the extra part of the material, it is necessary to trim.
The surface of the floor is no matter, concrete, tiled or wooden, should be thoroughly aligned.
To do this, use Paneur or Oricit. Before Zastil, you can also do a primer - it will increase the adhesion of the coating.
If the room in which you decide to lay a carpet, small, then it is best to choose free laying of material - it will cost you much cheaper, it is easier for it with your own hands and do not need to make it particularly thoroughly prepare the basis of the floor.
Of the minuses of this type of laying, poor wear resistance and strength, possible complexity of cleaning (laid the material cannot be cleaned with a cleaning vacuum cleaner).
If you decide to use the fixation method around the perimeter, then you need to act correctly like this: put the coating so that it comes onto the wall by 6-10 cm and ride it with a roller in all directions to take the surface.
Excess parts need to be cut off. Now the coating must be fixed with plinths throughout the perimeter.
If the furniture moves after all, you will have to choose bilateral tape stacking.
First, you need to smoke the entire floor of the floor with scotch, then you need to make a grid to form 50x50 cm cells.
Now you can lay carpet, it must have extra 6 cm with each of the sides, so that the edges enter the walls.
After the material is properly laid, the protective film is removed and the coating can be glued.
After completing the excess material are removed.
Laying Scotch is a very fast option. You can lay on any base - wooden and concrete is suitable. Also suitable base of tiled floor.
In case of damage, the coating can be easily replaced, which is also important when choosing a method of laying.
Laying on a concrete and wooden floor of the carpet on glue is justified if you plan to often make a permutation indoors. The glue on the floor is applied with a spatula, after which the coating is stretched from above.
Before the procedure, make sure that the floor is completely dry and smooth (plywood or organite is suitable for alignment).
Laying the carpet on the staircase is as follows: the coating for steps with a special template is cut out of the material.
After the coating, it is placed on the steps below up so that the patterns are connected to each other. The compound use glue or rails.
This is the process of laying coatings on the floors in the house. Choose carpet if you want to achieve the effect of a warm floor, but do not lead it in places where it is quickly blocked - it is better to use linoleum.
In general, this material is longer and quite attractive, so his choice for its apartment is always justified.
Naked sex, even very beautiful, not like everyone. If the floor is on the most cheap materials without any decorative qualities, it will be very good to be made by carpet. Laying the carpet do it yourself - the case is simple, except for stretch laying. But let's talk first about the requirements for the room under carpet and the preparation of sex under it.
Where better not to hold the carpet
To determine the carpet uniquely impossible where the temperature and humidity during one day and at the continuation of more than three days go beyond the sanitary standards: the temperature from +18 to +27; Humidity up to 75%. Also, if the parameters of the microclimate change within the normal range, but sharply, for hours or two, the carpet also crashes.
But in the room, where during the year the temperature changes from +16 in winter to the outdoor summer, the carpet will lie well: its material will have time to adapt to changes in the microclimate. The residential balcony can be sealing carpet or on free laying (too small the floor area so that the flooring gets off), or fastening on stretch.
But in rooms with a warm floor, the carpet can not be carried out anyway. First, the warm floor itself will cease to perform its function: the convection of heated air through the coating will naturally not be; Heavyweight - too. Secondly, the gradient (difference) of temperatures in the thickness of the coating will turn out such that it will definitely crawl.
How much need carpet
With any method of laying, seams should be avoided. The point is not so much in aesthetics. Due to the temperature deformations of the slicing of the material or turn over each other, or the gap is formed between them, and the edges will split. Therefore, carpet needs to buy a solid piece in room size with a reserve of 30-40 cm on each side.
Floor preparation and coating
Flooring carpet will be well lying only on a flat smooth floor. Therefore, before stacking, you need to check the floor on the width in the width of the room to check the floor on the width and horizontality. The deviation within the room should not exceed 4-5 mm, otherwise the flooring crashes with any method of fastening. If the deviation exceeds the specified value, the floor must be aligned with the appropriate appointment: for stone or wood. On the wooden floor it is pre- to walk cycles.
To check the horizontal, the bubble level should be rewarded. It is done like this: set the level on the horizontal surface. Then, under one end, a match is applied and slowly move it to the middle, holding the other end with your fingers while the lateral risk is in the middle of the bubble. Then the caliper or ruler measure the distance from the hanging end of the level to the surface, and the calculation lead according to the rules of trigonometry for small angles.
For example: The level is 1 m long. rise of its end during graduation - 2 mm. When installing the level in the center of the room with a length of 5 m along the room, the bubble entered a quarter for risk. Then the deviation from the horizontal at the level of 1 m is 1 mm, and 5 mm is 5 mm on 5 meters. This is at the limit; Carpet will need to strengthen well throughout the area.
Preparation of carpet to stacking is reduced to its maintenance in the premises intended for this for at least three days. The thick roll of thermal insulation material should warm up to the temperature of the room, and the air between the Villages is to purchase its humidity.
Instruments
For carpet, you will need special tools: a knife and a roller. Knife for carpet is similar not to the knife, but on the hand sewing machine: this is a rather solid aggregate in the form of an angle with a handle. The handle is pulling, pressing to the coating, and the side of the cut side comes on the side.
There are still light roller knives for carpet. It is not recommended to use novice to use them: in inept hands, such a knife sprouts in an inevitably, and the whole piece will be spoiled. The same thing happens if cutting the carpet with a regular mounting knife.
The roller for rolling the carpet is similar to the greasy, but wider and with a rather solid roller coating. A paint roller roll carpet can not: the roller coating particles will be switched into the pile, and the bands will remain, to get rid of which will not succeed.
These tools are not cheap, and for some other purposes are unsuitable. How to be here? Very simple: renting.
True professionals of the "carpet" case are often used for works by knee pads, but for once they, in principle, will not be needed.
How to make kencock
Imagine: you found a suitable piece of carpet in the remains, that is, inexpensive. But for the living room he is too big, and the seller does not want to cut - it will remain very places. But this residue in the area, if it is cut into the stripes, enough for the hallway, where to change the coating and so often. Or you, inactivity, you want to store the apartment with multi-colored stripes. In any case, you need to know how to make kennels of the carpet.
The junctions on the carpet are done like this: two pieces are laid with an adhesive of at least 4 cm. Then, two layers are cut through the joint line, before the floor, the ends are cut down, remove the sliced \u200b\u200binner strip, and they are released. A small burden happened - flexible-released in that place or roll the roller. Everything, the joke is ready.
For coercion junctions with other flooring, ordinary metal profiles are suitable. Moreover, in most cases, the junction will have on the doorway, where the flags will be by the way.
Methods of laying carpet
Fashion laying methods There are five:
- Free laying.
- Laying with fixation around the perimeter.
- Laying with fixation double-sided scotch.
- Laying on glue.
- Staying with tension (stretch laying).
We will look at them in order of applicability to one or another premises and / or floors.
Free laying
To lay the carpet freely - it means just putting carpet on the floor as a carpet or a palace. It is advisable to make it on the balcony, in Chulana, adapted under the dressing room or in another narrow room without moving furniture. But if the homemade workshop is equipped in the Chulana, carpet there is nothing: damaged small details from the pile will not be caught, but then they are definitely, according to the law of meanness, backwards.
With a free laying, a suitable piece is placed on the floor by a brush, in the corners with scissors make V-shaped cuts under 90 degrees, and then cut around the perimeter. This is perhaps the only case when an amateur wovel can be recommended a light roller cutter for carpet: cuts lead, pushing the cutting roller into the angle. That's all.
Laying with fixation around the perimeter
For laying with fixation around the perimeter, plinths are first removed. The desired piece of coating is placed in the same way as with a free laying, a brush with a breakdown on the walls. Now rays, from the center to the edge, the roller smoothes the coating. Next is cut off, but the edges are left per wall by 30-40 mm. The edges are then sweeping under the bottom before the coincidence of the bend line with the wall, and install plinths on self-drawing or mounting nails. The wells under the fasteners head in the plinths close up with liquid nails into the tone of the plinth.
This method is very simple and economical, but is suitable only for premises with an ideal temperature and humid regime, completely even gender and intolerable furniture. The chair on the rollers, even special for carpets, double and wide, sooner or later the coating. Option - If you need to somehow cover up a completely non-zero floor to repair.
Video: Laying of carpet with fastening under plinth
Fixation on Scotch
For such fixation use double-sided adhesion. By 8 square meters M of the covered area will need 10 m tape regardless of its width. The width of the scotch for carpet is from 63 to 180 mm. Scotch 63 mm wide holds 2-3 years; 180 mm - 5-7 years.
First, around the perimeter along the walls and from the center, the scotch sticks with diverging rays, removing the protective tape on the one hand. Top-up scotch side should be closed yet.
Carpet on such a "crate" is placed from the tape, roll up and cut off, as described above. Then half of the coating wock the remaining half of the wrong out. Remove the protective tapes from the pasted bands of the Scotch and neatly rolling into the "crate" of the carpet. The same procedure is done on the other half.
The carpet on the scotch well lies on the uneven floor, if only that before stacking was purely washed. By this coating, you can ride in the chair on the carpet rollers and even dragging the dining table. If an ambulance or frequent carpet replacement is supposed, then the stacking on the tape is the only acceptable option. But this work requires accuracy and certain skills: after the carpet will fall on the tape, the wrinkles will not be smoothed. Therefore, with an independent stacking on the tape, the newcomer must first be trained in the coating rolling simply on the floor, without tape.
With the laying of the carpet on the tape, everything is simple: mentally divided the room into squares and gently glue tape. The wider and better - the longer will last.
Adhesive laying
There are two technologies for laying carpet with glue: with single and double sizing. Single sizing is applied on smooth floors; Double - on the bug and / or inclined at the limit.
When smoking, the role of the scotch bands perform strips of special glue for carpet, applied by a special gear spatula. The type of spatula recommended for this glue is indicated on its packaging. The glue of solid manufacturers is sold complete with a spatula.
For adhesive laying, carpet is laid on a clean dry floor, as for other ways of laying, and cut as for free styling, without a sovereign under the edge. Then wrap half, as when laying on the tape, and apply glue on the floor as well as Scotch bands: around the perimeter and rays from the center to the edges. Fill a twisted half, turn off the other, and the procedure is repeated. After that, roll over the coating with roller. It is necessary to work quickly until the glue began to grab.
When double-skinned, first glue a pillow from a felt or a special litter under the carpet, and already on it - the coating itself.
Carpet on glue is laid out once and for all. Metched when replacing the carpet in the case is already unsuitable, and it is necessary to remove the traces of glue from the floor. True, there are adhesives for carpet, which after a certain time losing their properties, like tape, but they are not cheaper than the scotch. However, there is a certain meaning in their application: for not climbing, it is possible to align wrinkles and bubbles.

Laying with tension
And how to put carpet and forever, and on an uneven floor, and so that you can remove, and then put again? So carpet is stacked with a stretch method, or with tension. Such styling is done with the help of special mounting elements - flu.
Gripper is a thin plank with protruding from it under 45 degrees. On different sides of the gripper, the island is directed opposite, that is, on one axis. Carpet must be designed for influenza styling, and the flu is approaching this carpet carpet. For the flooring, first choose the "gripper" carpet, and according to the specification to it - the milppers of the corresponding type.
Carpet is a rather popular material that is used for the floor finish. He is pleasant, warm and, undoubtedly, can create a comfort in the house, and also - easy to care. Therefore, it is appreciated by many owners of apartments and houses. In the laying, carpet is also simple, but still there are a number of nuances that need to be taken into account during the installation of the coating. How to raise carpet? Tell together.
Carpet - a cozy solution for your home
The carpet in its structure resembles ordinary carpets, but in general has nothing to do with them. This is a universal, reliable, easily cleaner coating closes the draft floors completely, while the ordinary carpet closes only the floor section, and under it is the usual finish coating.
Do not think that carpet is bored and monotonous is far away. Now all sorts of variations are available - with a long and short pile, soft and sufficiently dense.
On a note! Carpet can be laid in any room where it will not be excessively in contact with water. It is not afraid of temperature differences, and therefore can lie even in unheated premises.
Carpet - Operation and Care
Styling can be carried out on any types of bases - the material feels perfectly on the concrete or wooden floor, on the flooring of plywood or gypsum, etc. Carpet is suitable for laying both in the office and in a residential building, its features help him And often used to finish the premises.
- The material is distinguished by increased thermal insulation indicators, it retains heat well in the house.
- Carpet has sound insulation properties. And the more pile, the quiet steps during the movement of this type of coverage.
- The coating is characterized by high fire safety indicators, since during production is processed by special compositions.
- Carpet absorbs dust, does not give her to turn in the air. The smallest particles are settled in his vile.
- The material is easy to clean - sometimes to remove the dirt, just just use the vacuum cleaner.
- Carpet has a large variety of textures and colors.
- Installation of the material is very simple and for anyone who is at least a little "friendly" with tools.
- Carpet provides warmth and comfort in the house.

Features and nuances of material
The carpet is very durable, but in many ways its operation will depend on the correctness of laying and careful care. And the most important disadvantage of the carpet is that in the manufacture of bright chemical dyes are used, which in certain situations may cause allergies at the residents of the house. Therefore, the material is not recommended to use in the apartment where people are living sensitive to the state. However, do not forget that the carpet itself is a good dust drive, and the allergy that appeared may not be caused by not dyes, but by these smallest particles of the Sora. With regular cleaning, no allergies should be.
It is said that the carpet is capable of separating substances negatively into the air. And here it is worth thinking, first of all, about what material is made. If it is made of pure wool, then the inhalation of poisoning substances is not worthwhile. And if the material is synthetic, then it is worth remembering that the same linoleum or laminate has much more poisonous adhesives and substances than the same carpet.
Conditions for the choice of carpet
The key to the successful end of repair and beauty in the house, as well as the achievement of the desired result is the right choice of finishing materials. And concerns this rule including carpet. It must be selected taking into account all the features of the material operation. For example, you should not choose a long-pile coating in an apartment where pets live. It will be difficult to clean it from wool.
Also, when choosing a material, the passability of the room is taken into account. For example, in the corridor or kitchen also does not fit the material long-wave. It is better to place it in the living room or bedroom.
On a note! Now the carpet with a pile is most different - with loop, cut. And looping, in turn, is divided into another two species - one and two-level. The length of the pile can vary from 5 to 40 mm.
Also, the material varies and depending on the materials used to create materials. Basically, it is manufactured from synthetics.
Table. What made carpet made from?
| Material | a brief description of |
|---|---|
| The most wear-resistant type of carpet. Terms of service can reach 15 years with proper operation. It cleans the material is very easy. |
| Acrylic fiber carpet reminds its wool in its structure, but does not differ in high elasticity. The pile is pretty hard. |
| The only natural material that can be used for the manufacture of carpet. It is soft, elastic, environmentally friendly and not electrified. Color saturation and structure are preserved for a long time, but there is such a carpet more than other types. |
Another important aspect when buying carpet - the acquisition of material in sufficient quantity. That is, before traveling to the store it is worth calculating the area of \u200b\u200bthe room and acquire the coating in accordance with the removable measurements.
Attention! Carpet is always bought with a reserve necessary for fitting the material during styling. The stock is 10% of the total needed coating area.
Methods of mounting carpet
The service life of the material largely depends on the correctness of its laying. There are the following ways to lay carpet:
- with glue;
- bilateral scotch;
- free installation with fixing around the perimeter;
- stretching.
With the help of bilateral scotch Carpet can quickly fix on a draft base without excess costs. The method allows, if necessary, it is quite simple to disassemble the coating. In this case, the carpet is attached to the two-sided tape bands, glued on the draft floor with a grid in a step of about 50-100 cm. The protective tape is not dug. The carpet is stacked by the roll in the far end of the room, fixes on the tape there, and then, roll over, is glued throughout the floor area. But it is better to glue the material from the middle of the room.
Fixing carpet with glue - Perfect option for bases from concrete or wood. In this case, you will need to use special adhesive compositions that will be applied with a toothed spatula on a draft base. Carpet rolled along the floor, then one side is thrown onto another (about the middle of the panel). The released floor space is launched with glue, on which the material is mounted, gradually unfolding. In the same way, his second side is glued.
On a note! In the case of the use of glue to fix carpet, it is important to correctly shoghes individual webs. To do this, they are stacked on each other on each other by 5-7 cm so that the perfect joint will be. Next, the edges are well absorbed by glue and rolled with roller. Only in this case the place of the connection of individual canvases will be inconspicuous.
Method Stretching It will require the acquisition of special equipment - the so-called Stretcher. No adhesive components or materials are used here. You will have to purchase both flu racks that will be installed around the perimeter of the room, and the carpet will be attached to them. The material in this case is simply stretched and fixed.
Sometimes carpet is stacked and at all without fixation, or rather, it will be kept only at the expense of plinths. But this option will be minimally reliable, it is not recommended to move the furniture on the floor - the carpet is simply gathered in the fold. In the rooms where big permeability is noted, this method is never used. Also, you should not neglect the fixation of carpet and in spacious rooms. But, if necessary, the coating is easy to dismantle - it is enough to unscrew the plinth.
Attention! Whatever the method of laying carpet is not selected, you should thoroughly straighten the material on the floor surface thoroughly. To do this, you can use the roller.
What to use as a substrate?
Under the carpet, as well as under the laminate, it is recommended to lay the substrate. It will help extend the service life of the material, improve the indicators of heat and noise insulation, has depreciation properties. Almost any material can be used as a substrate for carpet. It can be synthetic felt, polyurethane foam, rubber substrate. The main thing is that the material is elastic, and it is easy enough to check it - you need to smith a piece of the substrate in your hands and see whether it will return to its original state.
Important! The substrate should be fed necessarily if the carpet is mounted on a concrete base. In the case of wooden floors, it can be neglected.
Preparation for laying
To put carpet in all the rules, the rough base must be prepared. It must be clean and dry. But simple floor cleaning is not enough. It is necessary to make sure that the base is smooth, and if necessary, carry out a number of work to correct the situation (if the floor is a curve). Concrete floor can be aligned with a self-leveling mixture, and a wooden - stacking plywood, chipboard or other dense and durable materials.
If the coating is stacked on the wooden floor, it is important to inspect the base surface on the subject of protruding nails caps. If such are available, then they are set as much as possible in the boards - they should not hang around.
Before laying carpet, plinth is removed, if it comes to a new house, in which the repair work was not made. Now the plastic plinths are widely used, which is simply used to remove the protective bar and unscrew the screws, pressing the product to the wall. Wooden nails, have to disassemble by force. If necessary, they can be removed as carefully and then use it again after laying carpet. But it is not always possible to do.
Also, floors, if they are wooden, it is recommended to treat antiseptic compositions to reduce the risk of molding, mold, the appearance of colonies of microorganisms. Any rough surface must be treated with water-repellent drugs.
On a note! During the laying of the carpet, it is important to maintain the right temperature in the room. It should be more than +15 degrees. And the humidity of the air is at least 75%.
The surface of the draft floor is recommended to predict, if it comes to glue methods of laying carpet, that is, it is planned to use glue or double-sided tape. Then the material will hold much more reliable than in the absence of a primer layer on the ground.
How to raise carpet do it yourself
Consider in more detail how the carpet is made on glue or double-sided tape.
Step 1. Before starting work, it is recommended to acquire all the necessary tools and materials. It is directly the carpet itself in the required quantity, double-sided tape, glue, scissors, a bugle, a ruler and a roulette, a tool for trimming Kaima carpet, a knife for plaster, spatula toothed and roller.
Step 2. Calculate the required amount of carpet is easy - it is enough to know the area of \u200b\u200bthe room (so much material and will be required). It is important to consider that carpet stock must be extensive enough. The material is purchased with the fact that on each side, 40 cm should be added to the final area of \u200b\u200bthe carpet.
Step 3. The surface of the draft floor is cleaned from the old coating. Plinths are removed. The floor is cleaned from garbage and dirt.
Step 4. It is necessary to make sure the floor is smooth. For this, a construction level is used or a long rack about 2 m long - the gaps between it and the floor should not be more than 2 mm.
Step 5. If necessary, the floor is subjected to grinding. In the process, small irregularities are removed. If irregularities are great, the base should be made.
Important! The draft floor should be necessarily dry, without fat spots. If any, they are removed before starting laying the carpet.
Step 6. During the day before laying, the carpet is rolled on the prepared base. It should be searched a little and align. It is necessary to work with the roll, so as not to "break" it. Footprints from the dots will be visible on the already laid coverage.
Step 7. During the laying of the carpet, certain rules are followed: the joints between individual canvases should be perpendicular to the window. The direction of the pile should go to the window.
Step 8. The process of mounting carpet is beginning. The material already lies on the floor, but it is important to make sure that it is laid with the allen on the walls around the perimeter.
Step 9. The coating rolls from the center to the edges.
Step 10. Cutting material using an alignment or dump knife. Carpet is cut along the interface of the walls and floor of the room. The angles are cut on a piece of wood, laid on the floor, to which the bent edge of the carpet is placed. If the coating consists of several bands, then they are placed with the allen each other 10 cm.
Step 11. In the place of the joint of two cloths, an incision is made about 5 cm from the edge of one of the segments of the carpet. Two layers of material are cut at once. For convenience, it is recommended to cut along a long metal rack laid on the carpet. Thus, it will turn out to form a beautiful and neat butt two pieces of carpet.
Attention! During the enclosure of the material it is important to pay special attention to sections. They must be cleaned very carefully.
Step 12. Depending on the size of the room, the method of fixation is selected. For example, if the area of \u200b\u200bthe room is not more than 12 m 2, then it is enough to stick a double-sided scotch - carpet, it will hold. If the size of the room is greater and the area varies from 12 to 20 m 2, then the tape is glued through each meter and around the perimeter of the walls. In rooms of more than 20 m 2, glue is used. Thanks to him, the laying will be easier and clean.
Step 13. Styling with the help of a scotch is produced like this: the detachable carpet is folded in half. On the perimeter of the room in the place where part of the carpet was lying, and the segments of two-way tape were glued at each meter. The protective tape is not removed from it.
Step 14. A sticky tape is removed from the tape, and the carpet is neatly folded over the floor surface on the tape. Clause coating from the center to the edges of the room.
Step 15. The laying with the help of glue is produced like this: the carpet also folds in half, and the surface of the floor under it is lubricated with glue with a toothed spatula. Before laying carpet, glue is withstanding for about 10 minutes.
Step 16. Carpet is declined to the surface treated with glue, and smoothes towards the center to the edges.
Step 17. In order for the edge of the material does not bloom, as well as for docking the carpet with other types of flooring, bellows are used. At the same time, the mounting of the clad is made so that the screws do not pass through the carpet - it will be just pressed by the bar.
Step 18. Installed plinths around the perimeter of the room. They will additionally fix the material.

This is how simple enough and quickly, you can make in the house smooth and beautiful, and most importantly - a pleasant floor covering. Carpet - the material is indispensable for those who have a feet of legs.

Carpet - soft floor covering, practical, beautiful and pleasant to the touch. It is a solid cloth that is attached to the surface in different ways. Special difficulties laying the carpet will not cause, but violation of technology in most cases leads to its rapid wear. That is why in front of the flooring of the carpet cover, it is important to carefully prepare the room, the floor surface and the material itself to work. Let's try to figure out how to avoid the most common mistakes.
Prepare the room
Now you will understand more than the preparation of different types of rough floors to mount carpet.
How to put carpet on concrete
To glue the carpet to the floor from concrete to high quality, you need to prepare the foundation according to the following scheme:
- Remove the remains of the previous coating.
- Align the surface.
- Remove from the floor all mud and fat stains with soap solution, then rinse it with clean water.
- Treat special.
- It is mandatory to lay a substrate, and only after that you can put carpet.
How to raise carpet on a wooden floor
Before laying carpet on wooden floors, they should also be prepared:
- Mobility or chipboard.
- All gaps, joints and protrusions are removed using a wood putty.
- The aligned surface is ground and then quinc screws.
It is important to ensure that the doors in the room are freely opened and closed after laying the top layer. Usually, you first put the chipboard, and then, if necessary, cut the lower part of the door.
Before gluing carpet to plywood floor, check whether the glue composition is suitable for this material. Masters recommend using PVA or elastic two-component polyurethane glue.
Laying carpet on linoleum
Stacking carpet is produced only on pure and low fat linoleum. Since this material itself does not moisture and most often stacked on a flat prepared surface, the installation of a soft coating is simplified.
Important! Before retaining carpet on the floor, covered with linoleum, make sure that the latter fits tightly to the rough floor, without bubbles and waves, since such irregularities will affect the finishing material.
Main ways to lay carpet
Choosing the flooring method, it is worth starting with checking the type of coating and roughing. The fact is that the installation on the concrete base and the tree will be different, and for the material on a natural basis, the adhesive compositions are not recommended, in contrast to synthetics. Instructions for laying the selected carpet cover on the floor can be found on the package from the manufacturer.
There are four ways to root carpet with their own hands. Each technology has certain nuances and pitfalls, which will be discussed below.
Free laying
A quick, simple and economical method is carried out using a plinth instead of fastening material.
Suitable only for rooms with a constant temperature and humidity, ideally aligned rough floors and stationary furniture without wheels. In addition, such a coating can not be cleaned with a washing vacuum cleaner.
Procedure:
- The substrate is put on the floor, it is fixed with a stapler with a step of 20 cm. The locations of the docking are sampled by scotch.
- The carpet is rolled out with a break for the walls of approximately 5-7 centimeters.
- In the corners are made cutout in the form of the letter V.
- The surface of the carpet is resurrected using a roller from the center of the floor to the walls.
- The coating is stretched and fixed by a plinth and a metal rack near the doors.
This way carpet can be on concrete if the surface is flat enough.
Fixation with bilateral tape
The method is suitable for any reason: you can lay a soft coating for laminate, parquet, tile, linoleum, use in combination with warm floors. By stuck in this way, the carpet can without fears to move the furniture. This is the perfect option if the coating is planned to change quite often.
The nuance of the method is the complexity of the work: you need to very carefully roll the carpet, because after contacting with a scotch, it will not be possible to smooth out irregularities. In addition, the tape is poorly tolerated in high humidity, temperature fluctuations.
Proceedings:
- Scotch bands are pasted on a thoroughly washed floor throughout the perimeter of the room, and then a grid in increasing about 50 cm.
- Carpet is placed on the floor and is consistently glued with a gradual removal of the film from the tape.
- Separate webs are joined.
- Excess material is cut off, plinth is installed.
Installation on glue
Mounted for glue carpet due to durable fixation lasts longer even indoors with high pendancy. Another advantage is that in the course of the flooring, it is possible to carefully disperse the coating until the adhesive composition is still dry.
The minuses include the complexity of the method and the inability to reuse the coating when removing it.
Order of work:
- The substrate is glued onto a smooth clean surface.
- The coating is placed on the floor and cracks, the adhesive solution is prepared.
- Attach the material follows: half the canvas bend, apply glue to the floor surface and return the raised part of the carpet in place. Be sure to straighten and pull a little cloth from the center to the edges. The same is done with the second half.
- The coating is cut along the walls, the plinth is installed.
It is impossible to walk along the glued portion until complete drying, as well as to urge the coating too much: the glue can be leaked to the vile, and the surface will be corrupted.
This product is considered one of the best options for the extractional coating. In addition to giving the atmosphere to the atmosphere, this material is good jammed sounds, the floor insulates, and the care of difficulties does not represent. But that such an "finishing" finish of the surface served for a long time, it is necessary to know its installation technology and fully fulfill all the activities - the carpet "does not like" laying on the "simplified scheme".
Before proceeding to the question of how to lay carpet, it should be noted some of the features of such a coating.
- This material has 2 varieties of the foundation - rubberized or materic. In the latter case, the carpet should not be mounted in premises with excessive humidity, as well as where water leaks are possible. But if the decision is made, then you need to hold a number of additional "protective" events.
- All samples are distinguished by the length of the villi. When choosing a material for a particular room, this factor should be considered. For example, in rooms with increased "crossing" (for example, a corridor), it is advisable to sharpen the material shorthair, but for the bedroom more acceptable carpet with a long pile.
- Such a coating is intensively absorbed dust. If someone from family members observed allergic reactions, then the cleaning of the room (with a vacuum cleaner) will have to do daily.
- Laying carpet can be based on any material. The only condition - it must be maximally aligned. This coating is sufficiently soft, so any pothole or bulge on the surface will create not the most pleasant sensations.
- The carpet is distinguished by elasticity, so folds can be formed in the process of storage and transportation, especially if the long roll is bent in half. It is advisable before assessing it to decompose on the floor and give "crippled" (it is possible to moisten with water in the places in places). After some time, he will completely restore his shape.
- When coating a concrete basis (or cement screed), it is necessary to provide a substrate for carpet. This will prevent the absorption of dust particles to them, which can be formed on such a surface.
The finishes of the sex with this material can be carried out in almost any room, to any basis. Considering the work methodology, we list the entire complex of the necessary events. What will be needed to be done in a particular room (depending on its specifics), which can be neglected, and what has already been fulfilled earlier - each owner will determine independently. It makes no sense to explain that all the floors are different (for example, wooden, concrete, already decorated with linoleum), so the uniform recommendation can not be in principle. So, it is assumed that the work begins with "zero".
Laying carpet technology
Preparation of the basis
Those who believe that at this stage you only need to clean the floor and, if necessary, to align. After all, any reason is subject to different impacts, and this is not only moisture or temperature fluctuations. Therefore, it needs the appropriate surface treatment, which will extend its life. Moreover, such events need to be carried out when working with carpet, and when using other materials.
Now the products made of plastic are increasingly used. This is the best plinth option for carpet. But if it is traditional (wooden) and requires an update, then you need to paint it before installing in place. The paint that fell on the canvas, delete (given it "darling") will be extremely difficult, and it is impossible, especially if the material is synthetic. In this case, the use of the solvent is excluded.
Cleaning
It lies not only to remove the garbage, remove nails or screws. The basis needs to be pretty laundering. This will allow you to discover all defects (cracks in the screed, wheatned, rotten boards, mold, fungus). The elimination of such defects will allow not only for a long time to forget about the repair of the floor, but in most cases and significantly reduce heat loss in the room, the level of humidity.
Treatment
Depending on the material of the base and the specifics of the room, various drugs are used - antiseptics, water-repellent impregnations. For wood additionally - antipyrenes. If the screed will subsequently be made, then the processing is made after it is installed.
Alignment
Methods are different. On the concrete basis (if necessary), the screed is laid or placed in bulk sex (more expensive measure) with the use of self-leveling mixtures. For female floors - Installation of sheets (plates) of plywood, MDF and the like ("dry" screed).
Padding
It is performed if the material is fixed by gluing or using Scotch.
If the laying of the material is made on the railway plate or tie, then it is done. There are appropriate products on sale, and their assortment is quite impressive.
"Fitting" material
As a rule, it is rarely possible to cover the entire floor with one blade. Therefore, at least 2 parts, but you have to be allowed. The markup of the lines for the cut is made from the back of the material (pointed piece of soap, chalk). For even and high-quality cut, it is recommended to use the "knife of a shoemaker" or large tailor scissors.
The use of small households can lead to the fact that the edges will "shake". Yes, and work will delay for a long time.
There are various methods for its fastening based on. The most suitable is selected depending on the size of the room and its architectural features (the presence of protrusions, columns, niches, and the like).
Free laying
It is advisable to use only for the premises of small sizes, and that if the entire floor can be covered with one web, without docking individual parts. The meaning is that the roll rolls over the entire area and aligns (smoothed) so that its edges are slightly wrapped on the walls.
Fixation is made by plinths. But if they are plastic, then it is necessary around the perimeter "fasten" the material with small nails with large caps or adhesive tape. The plinth should not be lowered under the carpet, as in the places of the adjoint (in the cracks) the garbage will accumulate.
The meaning is that something like that of the carpet crucibles is constructed from this tape. Moreover, only double-sided tape is used. It passes along the installation line of the plinth, in the doorways. This is an external contour. If the room has columns, protrusions, niches - they are also plated adhesive tape.
But further - at the discretion of the owner. The point is to reliably attach carpet to the floor throughout the room, to eliminate its displacement and formation of folds, air bubbles. You can build from the tape over the entire surface of the grid with the cells of the required dimensions. Another option is to stick it with parallel stripes from one corner to another (diagonally).
When such a "design" is prepared, cloth laying is made. The top (protective) film from the tape is gradually removed, and the carpet is tightly pressed to the base. After full rolling of the canvas, it is necessary to "roll". Everything is suitable - rubber roller, even an ordinary rod. The main thing is to achieve reliable fixation.
Blind
This method is more suitable for administrative and other public buildings. In residential premises are rarely used. If it is still decided to make laying on such a technique, then you need to take into account the compatibility of the glue for carpet with the material to which it stacked. Some formulations can react, for example, with laminate, linoleum.
Fixation of the canvas is reliable. But the question is how then to dismantle the coating fixed in this way, and, without significantly damaging the foundation?
Such a method can be used if one part of the room is finished (and in the corner, in the installation places of furniture) from the remaining small pieces. But still - this is an extreme case.
Stretching
This method is delicious. The method is simple, but requires styling the substrate to align the height difference between the web and the rails.
They are attached to the floor around the perimeter, and for everything from the back side, minor nails are driven over to everything. As a result, an external frame is obtained with the "needles" sticking up, for which the canvas is stretched.
With this method of attachment of carpet, if necessary, it is easy to replace, and it is not necessary to align the foundation. But here you need an accurate calculation and some experience.
Docking parts
This question is worth considering separately, as it is rare when it is possible to evenly cover the entire floor uniformly.
First option
If the material is without a long pile, then you can use decorative strips. They are on sale in a large assortment - both in size (width, length), and in color. Such products are stacked on the seam and are attached to the base with the help of self-samples.
Second option
The canvases fit on each other, with a small overlap. In the middle is made through section. After that, the edges are lifted a little, and adhesive for carpet glue. It remains only to firmly press and fix in such a position with some "cargo" (before drying the adhesive composition).
When connecting individual pieces, you should pay attention to the directions of the villi in different parts of the material coincided.
- How to retain carpet, everyone decides himself. But what? It is necessary to consider that the material is divided into several classes. "21st" more than others are subject to abrasion. It is desirable to lay it where the intensive movement of people is not supposed.
- Do not throw pieces of material left after floor finish. Carpet has a good maintainability. If a damaged plot neatly put a patch, then it will be invisible.
- Recommended methods of laying of cloths depending on the size of the room:
- up to 25 m2 - any;
- up to 100 m2 - everything except free;
- more than 100 m2 - only glue.
