قائمة التحقق لتركيب سجاد جديد: كيفية التخطيط لتركيب السجاد

You’re ready for new carpet, that’s for sure. But is your home? Besides picking out your favorite carpet, there are a few steps you’ll need to take to prepare for installation.

To make it easier, we’ve put the carpet installation “must-dos” into three simple categories:

• قبل تركيب السجاد
• أثناء تركيب السجاد
• بعد تركيب السجاد

Even if you’re hiring someone to install it, this checklist is your guide to a successful installation.

قبل تركيب السجاد: خمسة أمور يجب القيام بها

1. قم بقياس المساحة الخاصة بك

Measure the room where you’ll install carpet so you buy the right amount of carpet and padding. Knowing your square footage will also help you estimate your installation cost and waste.

(Pro tip: Graph paper can help with dimensions and layout.)

2. إغلاق الموقع بالكامل

Windows and doors should be installed and closed, and your HVAC system should be up and running properly.

3. إنهاء جميع الأعمال المسبقة

Finish any drywall work, painting, or other wet work before the carpet goes in. Paint the baseboards and trim at least 24 hours before installation so they have time to dry.

4. إخلاء المساحة

Remove furniture and other items from the installation area, including electrical equipment and wires. Cover entryways and vents to help contain dust and debris, and create a clear path to the installation area.

(Pro tip: Cover any furniture or floors along that path.)

5. Check Temperature, Humidity, and Moisture Levels

The Carpet and Rug Institute’s CRI 105 residential installation standard calls for an indoor temperature of 65°F to 95°F and relative humidity no higher than 65%, maintained for at least 48 hours before, during, and 72 hours after installation.

Also check the moisture of the subfloor. If it’s concrete, our جهاز قياس رطوبة الخرسانة C555 is an easy first step to assess moisture quickly.

For a detailed picture of the moisture inside the slab, use an in-situ relative humidity (RH) test following ASTM F2170, and compare the results with the carpet and adhesive manufacturers’ requirements.

أثناء تركيب السجاد: ثلاث خطوات سهلة

1. استئجار أدوات خاصة لتنظيف السجاد

Trust us, it’s not worth trying to go without a carpet stretcher. And it’s usually not worth buying one unless you plan to install carpet often.

Your best bet as a DIYer is to rent specialty tools like a power stretcher and knee kicker and learn how to use them. You’ll also need basics like a carpet knife and a carpet roller.

2. تثبيت شرائط التثبيت

These are a must. If you’re replacing old carpet, you can reuse the tack strips already in place, except for any pieces that need replacing. If you’re installing new tack strips, leave a gap between the strips and the wall.

(Pro tip: CRI 105 calls for this gap to be slightly less than the thickness of the carpet and no more than 3/8 inch.)

3. تركيب السجاد والحشو

Always put a good layer of padding under the carpet, and don’t lay it over the tack strips. Trim it flush with the inside edge of the tack strips so it sits inside the perimeter.

بعد تركيب السجاد: ثلاث خطوات نهائية

1. تنظيف

Remove all leftover materials, tools, and trash, and vacuum the entire installation area. Touch up the paint if needed.

2. فحص التثبيت

Take your time. You’ll be looking at it every day, so make sure it meets your standards. This is also a good time to research or اسأل المثبت الخاص بك how to care for your new carpet.

3. استعادة مساحتك

Carefully move furniture and other items back into place. Use protectors on furniture feet to avoid damaging the carpet.

Planning a carpet installation means considering many factors, but anyone can install carpet with the right tools and knowledge.

With this checklist, you’re set up for a successful, professional-looking installation.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your beautiful new space. Cheers to a job well done!
