How To Fit Carpet Underlay |
Carpet underlay is neither hard or time consuming to fit.We have produced a guide
to fitting carpet underlay and will be adding sections to the guide in due course.As
alot of our customers have bought their underlay from us,we have produced
this free to use guide to DIY carpet underlay fitting. |
Here we have a room that has a small recess and doorway in it. Simply roll out the carpet underlay across the width of the room. The small recess will be filled in later. Cut the underlay of the roll with enough excess to go up the skirting board and through the doorway. |
Tip 1:Ensure that the room is completley empty and all the old floorcovering has
been uplifted. It will save you time and effort in the long run. |
Once the roll has been cut,pull back the carpet underlay onto itself and cut the
underlay so that the flap goes into the doorway as the next image shows and the
underlay just touches the end of the carpet gripper. |
Tip 2:It will also save you alot of time and effort using brand new knife blades
and produce a much cleaner and easier cut. |

Now start cutting in,simply use the edge of the carpet gripper as a guide,pull the
knife slowly along the edge of the gripper which means that you are going to
have cut the underlay to a tight fit to the edge of the carpet gripper. |

Flap the underlay through the doorway and then trim the underlay to the carpet gripper.This
is not as difficult as many people imagine and is easily achieved. |
Tip 3:Use the carpet gripper as a guide for your knife to ensure a neat cut. |

Fixing The Carpet Underlay On concrete floors,pull back the underlay and using spray adhesive lightly stick the end and sides of the underlay to the floor.For wooden floors use staples to staple the underlay down. |
Once completed roll the next piece of underlay out along side of the fixed piece
and once again cut in and fix to the floor.Once that has been done,use carpet underlay
tape to tape the long joint to prevent movement and dust filtration. |
