have any of you picked up some good tips on setting out the stripe on the landing to ensure it won’t run out anywhere, am doing a t shaped lading that opens up to a square area around 2.50 x 3m and can only measure offf where it goes over the trend and down the stairs. Am concerned about it running out towards the end of the stretching pattern.
Draw out lines on the underlay and lines on the back of the carpet as a guide or make a template of the area Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In my opinion, the stairs below the landing should be aligned and cut first and put in place but not fitted. The landing should be then placed to perfectly line up with the stairs, this being the lower length of the landing. The carpet is then moved to achieve a straight line from the point where it meets the skirting there to where it meets the skirting at the other upper end of the length of the landing. Walls and skirtings are seldom completely straight, so it is probably more important to then adjust the line straight off the door profiles that are on this wall. Hope this makes sense.
May I add that I do not centralise stripes to stairs. I create a parallelism of the stripes to the stringers.
