There are many types of flooring materials available for your home and carpeting remains one the most popular choices. Carpeting feels soft and warm when you walk on it and it especially feels nice when you step out of bed in the mornings. Many suppliers of Residential Carpeting in Evanston also offer installation. Below you’ll discover what to expect when you have your new carpeting installed.
Q.) What will I have to do to prepare for the carpet installers?
A.) The day before the installers arrive, you should clear the room of everything that’s in it. This includes all the furniture, lamps, shelves, television set and computer. You can leave pictures hanging on your walls, just make sure that everything is off of the floor when the installers arrive.
Q.) What is the process for carpet installation?
A.) If you have old carpeting, the installers will first remove your old carpet, roll it up and take it outside out of the way. If your padding is worn, they’ll put down a new underlayment on your floor. When they’re ready to lay the carpet, they’ll roll it out, measure around the room and doorways and cut the carpet to the exact specifications. After fitting the carpet to the floor, they’ll stretch it and smooth it out so that there are no ripples in the carpet before applying the adhesive.
Q.) New Residential Carpeting in Evanston has a strong odor that burns my eyes. Is there anything I can do to lessen the smell?
A.) The fumes you smell are from the chemicals in the carpet and from the adhesive. While you won’t be able to avoid the smell altogether, unless you leave your house for a few days, there are a few things you can do to make it more bearable. When the installers arrive, open the windows in your house and turn on your ceiling fans. A good flow of air will help to dissipate the odor quickly. If you don’t have ceiling fans in your room, use a regular house fan to circulate the air.
