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 In-
stitute (CRI) Carpet Installation Standard 2011. Residential indoor in-
stallations requires the tackless installation method and 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: Deteriora-
tion of carpet padding can cause carpets to experience a loss of appear-
ance 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 tack-
strip can compromise the ability to hold the stretch of new carpet, re-
placement of existing tackstrip is encouraged. We are not responsible
for carpet conditions caused by failure to replace existing pad and tack-
strip.
All carpet installed outdoors requires full-spread application of a suit-
able 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 2011, which requires
a temperature range of a minimum of 65° 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.
