Preparing For A New Home Carpet: Buying Carpet in Lazada Philippines

When installing your own home carpet you should follow certain procedures to make sure you properly install your carpet for maximum comfort, perfect fit and long term wear.

First you should take accurate measurements of the room or rooms to be re-carpeted so you can buy the right size and shape of carpet. Determine if you'll need to get rid of your existing underlay and replace it, and check to see if you'll be needing to raise the level of your doors to allow for their easy opening and closing once your new carpet is on the floor.

Don't try to short cut by installing new underlay over old underlay and never lay new carpet over old carpet.

Plan ahead to determine where you are going to place the seams of your new carpet if joins are required. For most acceptable placement they should be arranged in low traffic areas or where they can be covered by the furniture in the room. When planning the placement of your underlay seams, position them either perpendicular to your carpet seams or at least at a 12 cm offset.

Ensure that you've considered how to deal with any corner turns or other special requirements called for by the layout or conditions of the room (raised or recessed portions of floor areas, pillars, partitions, etc).

Familiarise yourself with the kinds of tools you'll need to get the job right the first time. This may require that you purchase additional tools for your home carpet installation or even look into renting the necessary tools if you won't be using them on a regular basis. Some tools you may need if you're installing a wall to wall carpet are a power stretcher, knee kicker, mallet, stair stretcher and dry wall knives and utility knives.

Make a checklist of the materials you may need to install your new home carpet as well. Metal, timber or vinyl mouldings, seaming tape, tack strip, and adhesives that meet indoor air quality standards, these include:

- Latex

- Vinyl Back Carpet Adhesive

- Carpet Seam Adhesive

- Carpet Seaming Latex

- Contact Cement

- Urethane Carpet Cushion Adhesive

- and Seam Sealer

Make sure that your floor is prepared for laying your new underlay cushion and carpet by cleaning it first, removing any protruding nails or staples, and sweep and vacuum to clear away any dust or dirt from the area. You're now all set to install your new home carpet.

Check out some home carpets that are available in Lazada Philippines. I have been buying products from them for years now and I like how convenient it is to order items from them. They also offer cash on delivery so you don't have to have a credit card to purchase. I live in Taguig so the shipping time is also very fast (depends on your loc).
