Before you begin changing your carpet, make sure you organize so as to obtain a diagnosis of your room. It will also equip you with the right tools to improve efficiency and not waste a minute. Here’s a little schedule to help you change the carpet without making a mistake.

Preparation of the room
At first, You’ll have to empty your room to make the land available. Measure the dimensions of the room and turn it into a diagram if necessary. Make sure that the original floor is ready for the carpet: it must be sound and straight. Remember to reseal cracks or small holes. Note that if the holes are too large or the soil is not right it will require patching. For this, it will cover the ground with a layer of mortar and wait 48 hours for drying.

Use the right equipment
At every large store, you will find all the tools needed to install your new carpet. You can find it in every DIY section where floor cleaning products & carpet cleaning products are displayed. Here’s what you need ideally: a meter, a cutter, a pair of scissors, a pencil, a notebook, a double-sided tape, a spatula to coat, a notched trowel, a threshold bar and baseboards that align with your carpet.

Changing the carpet
Make sure you have the carpet and your toolbox. We must begin to work backwards in order not to become stuck in the corner of a room. The important change in the carpet is drying time! If you respect, you ensure a job well done.
