    The same kind of thing happened to my old man and grandfather years ago they got some award for a carpet job (cant remeber what)
    But the firm they were subbing to at the time ran the same advert for years "Have your carpet installed by award winning fitters" even years after they had stopped doing work for them

    fair play that looks superb, it must have taken you ages to work out and fit.
     
  14. the cream black and yellow carpet took three 14 hour days to cut the carpet in to 33 cm wide sections with a 12 cm yellow boarder

    then it was a case of marking out the entire floor and writing the colours on the floor to avoid mistakes as this pattern runs through 4 areas this took nearly 2 days as this area was 950m2

    we then f3 4 x 4m section's at a time starting with the yellow square boarder then filled the middle with the design once the first 4 x4 square was completed the rest was just a case of working of the first section till we completed this took about 6 14 hour days to fill the entire area then to give the floor a really cool finish we cut 2 ribs hundreds of times down out of each colour and used inpact adhesive to stick to the walls giving the entire area a really cool look.

    with the wheel of colour this was a nightmere to plan as this patten ran through nine areas and through corridoors so what we did was took the centre point if a 2 m wide tretford carpet measured back by 3.5 m then cut the triangle out of each colour then starting from the middle worked our way out across all the areas this was a total nightmere as one mistake the last colour would have been wrong

    this took nearly 9 days to complete 1060 m2 covered

    we then made the record out of carpet i will not share how we done this lol


    please fill free to look at the photo's
