Carpet installation: how the work goes

1. The substrate is inspected: it needs to be clean, dry, and even.
2. The carpet is rolled out and left for several hours so it can settle flat.
3. A first cut is made with a 5–10 cm margin on all sides.
4. Fixing: loose-lay (small rooms), double-sided tape around the edges, or adhesive across the full area.
5. Final trimming is done at the walls, thresholds, and around pipes.
6. Skirting boards and threshold strips are installed.

Common mistakes

• Skipping acclimatisation: after unrolling, the carpet should adjust to the room temperature, otherwise it may shrink after cutting.
• Cutting right up to the walls: changes in humidity can make the carpet pull back and reveal the floor.
• Laying it on an uneven substrate — every bump shows through and the carpet wears out sooner.
• Using all-purpose adhesive instead of carpet adhesive, the carpet starts lifting and bubbles appear.

What to prepare

• Remove furniture from the room.
• The substrate should be clean — vacuum or sweep it.
• The carpet should already be bought and delivered to the flat.
• Choose the fixing method in advance (the technician can help with that).

Carpet installation in practice: a Warsaw case

A child’s room in Żoliborz, 14 m². The parents wanted a soft floor where the child could play without using a mat. They picked a dense, short-pile carpet: practical and easy to keep clean. The technician installed it on double-sided tape in two hours. The child is pleased, and the parents feel calm.

Frequently asked questions

Doesn’t carpet just collect dust?

Modern short-pile carpet is just as easy to vacuum as laminate. Long-pile: yes, that one needs more upkeep.

Can it be laid over underfloor heating?

Yes, but the carpet must be suitable for underfloor heating — thin, without a thick backing.

How long will carpet last?

Good-quality carpet: 7 to 10 years. In areas with heavy foot traffic, it wears out sooner.
