Fitting cheap carpet
Hi how do people normally fit carpet? I fold over about an inch and staple
it down. However the next carpet is one of these felt? backed carpets and I cut it to the correct size and it does not look very nice round the edge against the grain?. (it will have to do now.) I am going to fit another carpet, felt backed, to replace a foam back carpet which only lasted 8 years before the foam dried up, and that was with the correct paper underlay). So should I fold over the edges round the room or find someone who can cut the carpet better than me? This will probably cost more to fit than the carpet cost. (end of roll). What do other people do? Thanks Jackie |
