I measured a job. 7 floors, each floor has a 23m and 21 m section then 2 separate 7m sections split by lvt. The carpet is scala. I've recommended double stick or stick direct, due to length of halls, backing of the carpet, not wanting joins every 4m but They want traditional fit with felt and widths side by side. If I have to do it their way then what's the best way to do the joins considering scala is gel back.
Hahahhaha. Cheers merit. I cant change the carpet spec. You will want to help,on this one mate, or some more sit on skirtings.
agree with above If you cant budge on the scala then you have to tell them its stick to floor only, no underfelt etc Or better walking away
You have to wonder where the client got the idea in the first place? Have you considered asking them why they have specified the product without knowing its limitations. They might just realise "hang on, this guy knows his sh*t" and be more willing to listen to your advice.
Something I have never done but do u guys recon it could be durufitted ????? Regarding the felt- Run away !!
@ jambo. many times when iinterior designers or surveyors are involved then things like this can happen. They don't really know flooring so they suggest things like this. Once I've forwarded the fitting spec from lano they will see what I suggested was correct.
Bearing in mind the size of the area I defo would not, gel back should go direct to sub floor ( joins will be fine if fully stuck) on underlay the joins would be s#### ....... and also you would have no come back on the manufacture /supplier
They got me to price on what I thought and the lano spec says stick direct as well so all sorted. Just got to wait and see on the quote. For the bigger contractors, How are prices at the moment? Very tight?
lano are always tough to give discount on...trust me....Is scala still going, I thought it got discontinued or did they re-vamp it again? Ever seen stainfree contract?? same spec...2/4m wide better choice of colours?????
scala is def still on the go Adam, Headlam discontinued it coz cfs raped the prices so they couldn't compete etc. will check out sf contract, not seen it yet
After today I doubt I'll be using sts. The driver wouldn't put 3 cuts in my unit. The biggest was 4,70. I thought he was joking when he said its not that simple. Jhs deliver full rolls, cormar rolls, brockway rolls, headlam rolls, all very helpful drivers who do all they can but this guy said he can't do it. I'm not saying its his fault because he said its their policy. He said he can handle the 1.50x4m though so that's something.
