    ? What no backing on? Maybe I should get on the carpet course. There's a few types of step I want to know best way to cover too. Not the normal shape

    You can achieve a false match just by twisting the pattern (without bending the carpet)

    Not perfect obviously but gives a decent finish.

    I'd rather have it running true along the nose of the step. Just my preference.

    Good work Charlie but the curved stripes are a different class!

    so you rip off the backing and presumably peel release to the underlay-what happens if there,s a wear complaint and you have to fill in a how it was fitted form,ripped the backing off probably would,nt be a good start-lol

    Who said that's how it's done?
     
  16. Surely if a customer wants a curved half landing or whatever then fitting surely can't follow official standard of practice anyway so I'd have thought the customer would have to be made aware of that at time of order/ fitting ?!?

    The thing is though that having the know how to do it sets you apart from most others. You then charge and make more money.

    Rare things cost more

    That looks smart. Think for me the bend looks better when its thicker stripes but the skinny ones looks weird for some strange reason.
    Not sure I like the 'creative flooring' running down it though...
