I want to tell you about something that is irritating. Sometimes, particularly in older homes, we’ll find shoe molding or quarter rounds on top of carpet.
It’s important to take that shoe molding or quarter round off. Carpet installation requires that you tuck that carpet to a vertical edge, not a rounded edge.
Why? Because that carpet is supposed to sit tightly between the edge of the tackless strip and the baseboard or the wall.
So remember, when you’re specifying carpet for a room in a house, take off the quarter rounds and touch up the baseboards. That will provide a nice and flat surface to tuck the carpet into.
If you have any questions about carpet selection or dye lots, give us a call at (401) 324-9215 or come visit our Middletown showroom. We’re happy to provide you free advice.
