Home carpet coatings.
Carpet coatings for home, or carpet, made of natural or synthetic materials are made. Typically, with a carpet flooring, a substrate of felt, polyurethane or polyethylene foam 5-10 centimeters is used. The substrate significantly increases heat – and the sound insulation properties of the carpet and makes it more elastic and more comfortable. In addition, it extends the life of the coating.
In order that during laying the carpet did not form waves, before it needs to be rolled out and spread on an even floor. The carpet should lie in this form for several days.
After this time, the coating method is selected. In choosing the method, the material from which the base of the carpet is made is played by the large role, the type of room in which it has to be laid and whether the glue will be used at the same time.
There are several techniques according to which carpet coatings are laid for the house. This is free styling, flooring with a bilateral adhesive tape, which is placed under the edges and seams, a method of even edges, which consists in attaching the coating to skirting boards with bilateral adhesive tape, gluing and stretching.
Free styling in which glue is not used, avoids damage to the main coating. In the event that the basis for carpet coatings for the house are typewritten parquet, marble or granite, free styling is the only option for the flooring of the carpet. If the material is laid in the room, you can glue only joints and edges and fix the material with a skirting board.
The complete surface gluing of the carpet is used when laying the coating in the premises of complex configurations having stairs, ramps, or in apartments with “warm floors” and in the hallway. In this way of flooring, it is necessary to choose the right glue and accurately comply with the instructions for its use. As a rule, in this case, PVA glue is used. Then, when the base of the coating is made of natural jute, the number of adhesive composition should be very small. Otherwise, it soaks the coating and ruins its surface on which unreasonable spots will remain. Four hours after laying the coating, it is ready for operation.
Stretching is used when the carpet coatings for the house have increased elasticity. This method is performed as follows: the rails are attached to the walls, then the nails are nailed to them at an angle. After that, the carpet is pulled on the nails using special tools. Under the carpet, it is necessary to make a substrate to give the coating softness and enhance its sound -absorbing and thermal insulating properties. The advantages of such laying the coating are that it does not require preliminary preparation of the base and serves for a very long time.
When choosing a method of laying carpet, it is necessary to take into account the direction of the pile of the material, its type and sotav, the structure of the surface and the direction of light in the room. Carpet is cut so that the pile lay in all the canvases in one direction. In the case when there is a drawing on the coating, with the flooring it should be combined as much as possible.
Carpet tile is a variety of carpets. Its advantages over rolled materials are convenience in transportation and installation, the possibility of unhindered access to the communication systems lying under the floor, a small amount of waste, the possibility of laying without the use of glue and an inconspicuous connection that creates the effect of a whole coating.
