Product Information

Plastic models will be less likely to last as long, due to the force that they are having to be put under after every use. As we know, plastic is just not as strong as its metal counterpart! However, if you are only planning on using your carpet stretcher occasionally then plastic models will be cheaper, so may be worth considering (you just can’t necessarily expect the same standard of finish!). Usability

Roll out the next length of underlay and butt it up against the edge of the first length, join the two pieces using 50-millimeter wide gaffer tape or similar tape.We recommend adding 10% to 20% to the room area, which should account for any fabric loss during the cutting and fitting phases. The Different Methods of Carpet Installation Use this off-cut from the last sheet in the first row to start the second row and carry on in the same way. This reduces waste and also helps by ensuring the joints are staggered. Each tool has its unique usage. To illustrate, each cutting tool works for specific carpet types. This way, you can lay the carpet without it looking slanted or curved.

NOTE: One thing to bear in mind is that carpet stretchers that are closer to this 1kg mark are likely to be made out of weaker materials, such as plastic, so may not be as durable as some of the heavier models that you find on the market.

How To Fit Underlay

Use a cutting board under the carpet so that you don’t damage the threshold bar as you cut. make sure you get the right kind of threshold bar that works with the floor surface of the adjoining room.
