r/carpet

​

I asked to redo and was told it is normal but I have never seen something like this before...

Hi All! Fairly certain we will be choosing Furlong Flooring Bliss for our 3 bedrooms. We would love the stairs and landing to match the colour, so was wondering if we should go for Bliss or Bliss comfort? I’m aware the pile is on the higher side, so thinking it may be best to opt for the slightly shorter comfort version?

EDIT: Sounds like it is normal. I didn't know it was normal and you don't know these things until you ask! Figured it was better to find out on here than call the fitters back. I'll stop worrying about it and tugging on it. Thank you all for the speedy replies 👍

ORIGINAL POST: I had this saxony carpet fitted in mid-May (it's June 30th on posting this) and can pinch a few fibres and lift sections of the carpet.

Is that normal? It's a bit hard to hoover, but that might be the deep pile + my intense pet hair vacuum just not mixing well.

Any advice or comments appreciated - thank you!

I am in the process of removing old carpet, do i need to remove this layer of glue as well? I plan on putting down LVP floating flooring. I understand any deep divets need to be leveled out, but it doesnt seem like I should have to remove it. Or at least I hope

Sorry for asking such a simple question on here, but I’ve recently moved house and I just don’t have the budget to spend money on anything at all that doesn’t work.

I’ve got quite a thin rug on my hard living room floor and it is constantly wrinkling. I’ve researched rug underlays, carpet grippers and carpet tape and I’m not sure what would work best for this type of rug.

Does anyone have experience of a similar style of rug and could recommend a solution that actually works (and stops me wasting money on things that don’t!)

Thanks!!

I got it for USD 400 from a friend of a friend here in Iraq. My local friend seemed pretty happy about the price. He showed me a few rugs but what he said about this one was: pretty unique design, 100+ years old (no idea but he did seem pretty honest when carpets weren't old), Iranian.

The middle is a little more worn out but the edges are still quite soft. Not sure if I want to hang it or use it on the floor.

If anyone has any more info on the style and possible origins please let me know.

Doing a flip and had carpet installed. They said to do baseboard first. There were existing tack strips, kinda sloppy but I figured I’d mostly leave them and they can decide what they want to take out/redo. Took out a few that would’ve been way under the baseboard. Set the baseboard 1/8” above tack strips (not counting nails), so 3/8” off the subfloor. It is thin carpet so maybe I should’ve gone a little lower?

The install was bundled through Home Depot carpet purchase, so I wasn’t looking for anything beautiful, it was pretty cheap. But even still some of these defects are super visible. Would I be justified to take issue with this?

Picture #1 they just carved out a big chunk of the baseboard. In 3 it seems the tack strip might be too far out? Either way huge valley. 5/6 I can see being my fault for trying to match that tile height, maybe you have to contour the baseboard there. 7/8 are what I’d call acceptable errors. But those are all over so they start to add up

I love color but don’t want the carpet to clash with the couch. Would a solid green or a solid red look best in this space? Is there any carpet that wouldn’t look too boring but also wouldn’t clash with the couch?

Hey there,

this is my girlfriends carpet .. she likes it, but it got some old stains, so we don't use it. It happened long before me, so I only got some information, but I hope, that maybe there is a trick to rescue it. And where to find it if not on reddit?!

The informations I got: Its made of acrylic yarn; the stains came from spilled sprite or another soft drink, they tried some things to clean it, but it only got worse.

I'm thankfull for any idea .. we have not much to lose, it was stored for the last years so... thank you!

Not a big fan of the floor/trim/cabinet color combo. What would be a good rug color for this area? It will be my living room.

I just finished my first two rugs. The first being dub’d “MagicKarpet” and the second a Mega Charizard X as my nephews birthday gift. I have definitely learned a lot from both and am excited for what’s next. If you have any tips or if there is enough interest i can write up lessons learned from them. Cheers and happy Tufting.

While they may look simple, these cardboard cores play a critical role in the flooring industry.

BUT HOW??

Purchased this carpet in Istanbul 19 years ago. It is 117x92 inches.
Certificate says it is from the Cashmere Region, wool and silk, double knot. Any idea what this is worth or where to have it appraised? No longer have room for it.
