Wall to Wall Carpeting Services In Kenya

Wall to wall carpets also known as “fitted carpets” or “broadloom carpets”, is a type of carpeting which covers a given space in few pieces – or even one single piece – as opposed to several pieces laid out to create your flooring. This is what creates the seamless look for which wall-to-wall carpeting is known. Wall-to-wall carpets can be designed to stick directly on subfloors, but more often, they’re laid on underfelt over the substrate flooring and attached using small tacks.

Wall-to-wall carpeting earns its title from the way it’s manufactured: in long, wide rolls of carpets. Often thought of as the high-quality solution, wall-to-wall carpets works best for projects with big design ambitions or for large floor surfaces.

What We Do as Part of the Wall to Wall Carpeting Service

Preparation
Room Preparation:

As the first step in the wall to wall carpeting service, we will remove all furniture, and take out any existing flooring if necessary (like old carpet, vinyl, or tile), ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of debris and if there’s any damage we will do a repair of it.

Measurement and Planning:

After the room preparation, we will now measure the space accurately as it is crucial for cutting the carpet to fit properly. This will include the length and width, plus any irregular areas.
If you will not have selected a carpet style, our experts will help you select the carpet type, style, and color, as well as the appropriate padding for comfort and durability all according to your preference.

Subfloor Preparation
Subfloor Check:

As a crucial step in the wall to wall carpeting service, we will check and ensure that the subfloor is levelled and smooth and any imperfections will be addressed so as to prevent bumps or uneven spots.
We will also ensure that there are no moisture issues, as this can lead to mold and carpet damage.

Install Carpet Padding:

We will now roll out the carpet padding across the subfloor, ensuring that it fits snugly and covers the entire area. After that, our experts will staple or glue the padding in place so as to avoid an overlap and ensure there are no gaps.

Carpet Installation

Cutting and Fitting:

As the most important step in the wall to wall carpeting service, we will roll out the carpet and cut it to fit the room. Some extra material will be left for later trimming.
The carpet will be positioned aligning it with the edges while making sure that it covers the entire room.

Securing the Carpet:

Our experts will now use a carpet stretcher to stretch the carpet into place, ensuring a smooth and wrinkle-free surface. The edges of the carpet will be fitted onto tack strips (wooden strips with nails) along the perimeter of the room. This will hold the carpet in place without the need for glue.

Trimming and Edging:

A utility knife will be used to trim the excess carpet along the edges of the room, ensuring a precise fit. Our experts will then fold and secure the carpet edges under any baseboards or trim and if needed, we will use a binding or transition strip.

Finishing Touches
Seam Sealing:

As the last step in the wall to wall carpeting service, we will use a seam tape and heat sealer or adhesive to join the seams together so as to ensure a seamless look.

Clean-Up:

Our experts will then vacuum the carpet to remove any loose fibers and dust and after the carpet is fully installed and settled, they will replace the furniture carefully to avoid dragging it across the carpet.

We will finally give the carpet some time to settle and adjust, especially if it has been stretched or glued and advice you on the best ways to clean and maintain your carpet to keep it looking fresh and extend its lifespan.
