Upgrading the flooring in your commercial space is an excellent way to spruce up the office and improve the overall appearance of your building. One of the most popular flooring options for commercial buildings is carpet, as it’s cost-effective, easy to maintain and can last for years when properly installed.
Carpet installation is often perceived to be easy, and anyone can do it, but in reality, it requires meticulous and professional installation to ensure its longevity. If a carpet is poorly installed, it can cause many problems. Learn more about the signs of poor carpet installation below.
Signs of Poor Carpet Installation:
Loose Seams
When your carpet meets the walls, doorways, baseboards or other types of flooring, the seams should be neatly tucked. Professional carpet installers like Ashley Fine Floors often secure the edges with carpet tape, additional tacks, adhesives or transition strips to reduce the likelihood of carpet separating from the wall or unravelling at the corners. After your carpet is professionally installed, there shouldn’t be any loose seams.
Rippling
Wall-to-wall carpeting must be stretched tightly and secured with carpet strips along the edge to give it a smooth surface. Unfortunately, when the carpet isn’t stretched tightly enough, it may loosen up quickly and cause it to ripple. At Ashley Fine Floors, our professional carpet installation team uses a power stretcher during installation to reduce the chances of buckling and rippling.
Uneven Surface
Some carpets require installing carpet padding to offer extra cushion for the feet; however, when installed poorly, it can cause a bumpy and uneven surface. With decades of experience and hundreds of jobs under our belt, Ashley Fine Floors is able to handle any carpet padding installation, even in tricky places.
