nice work, don't get many of these anymore they don't seem to understand it costs money to bind it but haven't rods gotten expensive :?: and colours underlay ouch weigh a bloody ton bet your arm was aching after that :lol:
thanks for the positive comments, your not wrong there tarkett, that colours underlay is going to criple someone, someday :smile: , yeah the tape is just to try hide the bright pink underlay. Didnt template, just run temp tape for lining up edges, then cut to tape once happy with lines. How do you guys go about cut and shaping stairs like that? :geek:
I prep and then fit. Cut carpet as i want then uplift and run the whipping off to get whipped/edged and return to finish the job next day. (i would spend 2 days on that stair case including getting whipping done)
had to handball 200 rolls of colours red off wagon and onto site for a job we did 2 or 3 years ago didn't walk right for a week :lol: usually use some floorlining paper cut template then cut to that, not had a problem yet been using easybind lately and just do it on site cracking invention
yeah i do it pretty much the same, two days to do aswell. Do you have a set method for cutting the sides, or is it a matter of using a good eye? i've seen them done a few different ways, which looks different aswell. Do you keep the runner a continuous width?
runner is set width on straight stairs. At winders i will give options on how to fit. For instance i will give first option to keep the boarder of staircase you can see the same all the way down (like a boarder carpet would be). Also give the option of doing by eye sort of keeping the carpet at a set width but obviously this is by eye and a optical illusion.
so i would do as you have done or keep boarder equal depending on what customer wants. Imagine carpet being installed up to green line and keeping wooden boarder equal.
yeah, definetly takes a bit of arsing around, i'll do it a similar way by setting out both methods, then ask the customer what option looks best to them. Cant go wrong that way.
yeah thats it, pictures are good for all us illiterates :lol: Which way do you personally think looks best?
I prefer the way you did it if I'm honest but customers get what they want after I've explained all the options. The last one I did was as per Matt's example but I didn't like it as much as the way you did this one.
Matt's way very good but ye lisen to the customer but must also adv them wats best but Job look fab very nice work mate well done
