What is the proper installation method?
Your carpet must be installed by a certied installer. In the absence of more product
specic installation requirements, your carpet must be installed following the
procedures published by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Carpet Installation
Standard. Carpet installed using the tackless method requires the use of carpet
padding with a maximum thickness of 1/2", and a minimum weight density of 6 lbs.
per cubic foot. CRI Green Label (GL) approved padding and adhesives are
recommended as needed. Note: Deterioration of carpet padding can cause carpets
to experience a loss of appearance and accelerated wear. In order to maintain your
warranty rights, you are required to replace existing padding when your new carpet
or replacement carpet is installed. Because the bent pins of existing tackstrip can
compromise the ability to hold the stretch of new carpet, replacement of existing
tackstrip is encouraged. We are not responsible for carpet conditions caused by failure
to replace existing pad and tackstrip.
All carpet installed outdoors requires full-spread application of a suitable outdoor
adhesive and seam sealer on exposed edges and on the trimmed edges to be seamed.
Our carpets must be installed in strict compliance to CRI Carpet Installation Standards,
which requires a temperature range of a minimum of 55° F to a maximum of 95° F,
and a substrate range of a minimum of 65° F to a maximum of 85° F. Note:
Needlepunch carpets do not require seam sealer.
How do I take care of my carpet?
New carpet is a major investment that adds signicantly to the quality, beauty,
comfort and warmth of your home. Proper care and maintenance not only protects
your carpet, it gives added value to your carpet investment by providing you with
many years of use. Proper care includes routine vacuuming, fast and effective spot
cleaning, and regular professional cleaning using the hot water extraction method.
