Description of Work
1. Carpets today have revolutionary carpet fiber systems that give supreme softness while being virtually
stain proof.
2. It is comfortable underfoot, easy to replace while being warmer, softer and quieter underfoot.
Installation flexibility allows the carpet to go over a variety of substrates.

Delivery, Storage and Handling

1. Store carpet and related materials in a climate-controlled, dry space.
2. Protect and safeguard carpet from soil, dust, moisture, oil, and other contaminants and store on a flat
surface.
3. Keeping heavy objects or other objects on top of carpet rolls must be avoided.
4. Double stacking pallets of carpet tile is prohibited unless approved by the carpet manufacturer and
or another expert.
5. Transport carpet in a manner that prevents damage and distortion.
6. Bending or folding individual carpet rolls or cuts from rolls are not recommended. In case of bending
or folding is unavoidable for delivery of the carpet, the carpet is needed to be unrolled and allowed
to lie flat ASAP upon arrival at the installation facility or site.

Installation Methodology
1. Check the flatness of concrete floors. Protrusions/Swelling and ponding should be removed and solve
first before installing the carpet. Particularly, the side to wall termination.
2. Clean the area. Where the carpet is installed, it should be dust and water-free.
3. Install the tackles strip on the concrete floor. While installing the carpet in the required
areas/rooms/offices, leave a gap of about 1-2 inches between the strips and the wall, and be sure the
tacks face (Sometimes called tackles strips) towards the wall. At corners, make sure the tackles strips
are butted securely and firmly against each other.
4. Put the under pad down in strips that butt up to or reach the tackles strips. Butt the strips against
each other- don't overlap them then staple the underlay down along the inside edge of the tackles
strip
5. Trim the excess underlay along the inside of the tackles strip and use duct tape to seal the seams. A
small pea of glue can be used on concrete floors to hold the pad in place firmly.

6. To install carpet properly, you need to start with a piece that overlaps the edge of the floor by 4 to 6
inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm). The overlay can then be trimmed so the carpet fits firmly and appropriately.
To cut the first section, make a proper measurement of the room at its longest spot and add six inches
or 15.2 centimeters to that measurement.
7. Mark the back of your carpet on both edges with that measurement and join the two marks with a
chalk line. Fold the carpet over on itself, and using a straight edge and a sharp cutting knife, cut the
carpet from the backside. Be sure to put a piece of scrap board underneath cut line to protect and
safeguard from any damage of the underlying carpet.
8. If the area is wide enough and needs to get another piece of carpet, follow the same process with the
second piece - measure, mark and trim. But always make sure that the carpet pile is running the same
way in both pieces, and that the carpet piece is large sufficient to overlap the wall by four to six inches
or 10.2 to 15.2 centimeters, as well as overlapping the first piece of carpet by four to six inches or 10.2
to 15.2 centimeters. Try to layout carpet pieces so the seams won't be in noticeable areas, but
apparently, sometimes that just isn't possible.
9. Where the carpet pieces will join, overlap the two pieces, and then using a utility knife or a rented
seam cutter, cut through both pieces of carpet, ensuring the edges will match exactly. After cutting
the carpet,
10. center a piece of seaming tape on the floor underneath where they join, adhesive side up.
11. Use the seaming iron to activate the adhesive (the iron goes on the tape, not on top of the carpet),
and then butt the edges together and seal the seam with a rolling pin or a carpet roller.
12. Use a knee kicker to attach the carpet along one edge. A knee kicker is a solid metal tool about
eighteen inches long with "teeth" that will grip the carpet on one end, and a heavily padded "butt" on
the other. Put the toothed end of the kicker about three inches from the wall and drive your knee
strongly into the padded end of the tool. This will stretch the carpet over the tackles strip where the
tacks will grab it and hold it perfectly in place.
13. A carpet stretcher will be accomplished by attaching the carpet. A carpet stretcher is similar to knee
kicker, but much longer. Put one end of the carpet stretcher contrary to the wall where the carpet is
already attached and place the other end about six inches or 15.2 centimeters from the far wall.
14. The carpet stretcher also has teeth to grip the carpet, and when you push on the activation lever, it
will stretch the carpet over the tackles strip near the far wall.
15. Check around the area stretching the carpet over the tackles strips and trim the carpet near the wall
with a utility knife or a wall trimmer.
16. Using a stair tool, tuck the carpet down into the gap between the tackle’s strips and the wall.
17. At the doorway, make a slight careful trimming of the carpet so the edge is centered under the
closed door and install a door edge strip. Lastly, cut any duct and or pipe openings and install the
molding on the baseboards.

Maintenance
1. Carpets need to be vacuumed once a week and more often in areas of heavy traffic. Frequent vacuuming
prolongs the life of your carpet by preventing a buildup of gritty particles that can cut carpet fibers.

General
2. The Sub-Contractor reserves the right to amend the method from time to time in consultation with the
Main Contractor, depending upon the specific site conditions.
