How to install a carpet ?

Install carpet with double sided tape

In order not to see the tape, double-sided tape is the ideal solution! 

Install carpet on carpet

In hotels or offices, installing a carpet over a pre-existing carpet can be very useful.

Install carpet with overlap

Carpet can shrink under the influence of temperature fluctuations. A small overlap ensures that the floor is not visible.

Install carpet without overlap

For some coverings, such as artificial turf, there is no need to overlap.

How to remove a carpet ?

After an event, the Sommer Needlepunch carpet can be recycled as a second raw material.

Recycle involves a clean carpet. It means without wastes (sawdust, screws or nails).

 There are a few advices to remove a carpet :

  • Cut a piece of 5 to 6m
  • Lift for debris to fall
  • Fold and parcel for loading

To help you, Sommer can provide you with a directory of recyclers.
