Installation Of Easytcarpeter Carpet Tiles

1.Inspection of the materials delivered

Easycarpeter stresses that you should always inspect the carpet delivered to you before commencing fitting. Every order is handled by Easycarpeter with the greatest possible care. Inspections are however always carried out under conditions that are different to those under which the carpet is to be fitted. It is therefore to your own advantage to ensure that a thorough inspection is made. Make sure that the quality, colour, pattern, etc. correspond exactly with your order. Always register any complaint before commencing cutting or fitting. Only then will we be able to accept and process any complaint further.

2.Inspecting and preparing floor surfaces 

When fitting carpet the subfloor always demands special attention. The subfloor quite literally forms the base on which the carpet has to display its qualities and characteristics. Aspects such as damp, levelness and compression strength are extremely important in that respect.

Requirements differ with the type of subfloor involved. The various types concerned are described separately below. In general it can be said that the subfloor must comply with the relevant standards, as mentioned in the appendix, which includes several International Standards.

Note: if in your case a subfloor is involved that is not discussed here, please contact the Technical Services Department at Easycarpeter beforehand. We will then be able to advise you with respect to floor conditions in relation to the application options for Easycarpeter contract carpet. 

3.Fitting Easycarpeter carpet tiles

Never start installing carpet tiles against a wall. Always start from a calculated point in the room along a perpendicular line or chalk line. In offices start with the corridor and install the rooms afterwards, in order to obtain a good connection. Apply a recommended tackifier to an area convenient in size and once the tackifier has become completely dry, the carpet tiles can be installed in accordance with the illustration. The tiles should be firmly fitted together with a hand stretcher. Be sure that the underbackings are closely together to limit the appearance of joints to a minimum. Care should be taken with cut pile products to avoid trapping edge tufts between the tile joints. The use of hand-knicker ensures that the tiles be butted firmly together: joints will be less visible that way.
