Carpeting Stairs

Posted on February 25, 2014 at 3:25 pm

Carpets can be a tricky business to get right. Getting the colours right can be particularly difficult. It requires you to take into account the overall design of the room you are installing it in, and also making sure that it isn’t something which can be destroyed easily. Picking the appropriate carpet for a staircase can be even more difficult. When you are installing a carpet in a room, you only have to consider the one room, but on a staircase you need to take into consideration both the upstairs landing and the downstairs room, multiplying the potential issues. Add to this the added pain of installing a carpet on a staircase, then you have a far more costly undertaking than when you are carpeting a flat plane. Usually, when installing a carpet on a staircase, much of the issues can be resolved just by using more pins, to pin the carpet to the ground in the appropriate places. However, when the staircase is circular, or with a lot of turns, getting it right can be made more tricky, requiring you to break the carpet up into sections.
