Prepare the Floor

The floor must be clean, dry and level.

For ceramic floors: Ensure that the grout lines are not too deep.

If necessary, fill them with levelling compound, so that the texture of the grout does not “imprint” on the carpet surface over time.

For cement floors: Ensure that there is no loose sand or high moisture content.

Get Your Tools Ready

You don’t need heavy equipment, just prepare:

Large Cutter (Heavy Duty): Prepare plenty of spare blades (refills).

Dull blades are the enemy of neatness.

Steel Ruler and Triangle: For cutting straight lines. Do not use a plastic ruler.

Measuring Tape & Chalk Line: To find the centre point of the room.

Glue: You can use yellow glue (such as Aibon/Fox) or special carpet glue (tackifier).
