ABSTRACT:
A carpet and pad installation avoids the need for stretching and tackless strips by utilizing a pad with pressure-sensitive adhesive on one surface. The pad is first laid on the floor surface and trimmed as required, with either the adhesive surface down to adhere to the floor, or with the adhesive surface up and another adhesive applied to the floor prior to laying the pad. A removable release film may cover the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the pad, so that with the adhesive side up the carpet may be unrolled over the release film and then cut and seamed as required. The seamed carpet is folded back and the release film is removed from the exposed area of the carpet cushion, then the carpet is pressed down onto the exposed area of adhesive. Then another portion of the carpet is folded back, the release film is removed from that area, and that portion of the carpet is pressed onto the exposed pressure-sensitive adhesive of the carpet cushion. If the adhesive side of the pad is against the floor, a similar procedure is followed, with adhesive being applied to the pad's upper surface after the carpet has been trimmed.
