Vital Ideas When Financing Carpet Repair

By Adrienne Michaels


Carpets or floor coverings are prone to tear when under use either because on burns or mishandling. A carpet repair can be done if the extend of the damage is not that big enough to force you to buy a new one. The cost of buying a small patch and patching it is way much lesser than that one of buying a whole new floor covering and throwing the torn one away. The service of carpet repair Ft Collins professional can be required if you can't trust yourself to patch it.

You should start by understanding the layers of your floor covering. The top one which is called the carpet nap needs much attention when doing any repair. Below this layer you find two layers forming the backing. The nap and the backings are held together by use of strong adhesive. The bottom part of the carpet is called the pad.

The repair to be done has to be determined also by the depth of the tear or how far the burn has gone into the three layers. It may be goodluck if the nap has been damaged only as it only exposes the top part for repair giving no room for the pad and backing to be tampered. There is however another kind of repair that will be necessitated if the burn or tear is much deeper.

A patch of a color different from the rest of the floor covering will not just be ugly, it will show unprofessionalism. If there was a part of the extra floor covering you managed to keep when you were laying it this would be the good time to put it into use. A piece cut from the closes can also work since nobody will go looking how your closet looks like.

Take out the bad portion by cutting it using a slotted blade knife, row finder and a straight edge. This is done by separating the nap from the backing by the above tools. Make sure the blade you are using is very sharp when cutting. Change it immediately if you feel any resistance during cutting.

The activity now starts with one placing body directly above the area that has been cut while trying to get the direction of the nap. However, the patch and floor covering should run in the same direction so as to be uniform. This is also to conceal the mending, no one wants it to be known.

The size of patch to be used should be of the same size and shape to the part of curt you cut. Cut it to perfectly fit in it but if you are afraid of doing it then it is advisable to get a expert in carpet patching Ft Collins who will do the job for you at a small pay. Once this is done the edges should be sealed either by glue gun or by latex

Take the seam tape and cut it to a length little bit longer than the seams of the patch then place it lengthwise under the patch and surrounding floor covering. Fit the patch exactly using glue. Wait for about ten minutes before you start carpet stretching. Once you stretch it then you are done with your process.
