Installing carpet can be a daunting task, but with the right knowledge and tools, you can achieve a professional-looking finish. In this step-by-step guide, we will take you through the process of installing carpet (moquette) properly. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional contractor, this guide will help you ensure a successful carpet installation.

What You Will Need:

  • Carpet (moquette) of your choice
  • Carpet padding
  • Knee kicker
  • Power stretcher
  • Carpet knife
  • Tack strips
  • Hammer
  • Measuring tape
  • Chalk line
  • Safety goggles and gloves

Step 1: Prepare the Room

Before you start installing carpet, ensure the room is clean and empty. Remove any existing carpet, furniture, and baseboards. Inspect the subfloor for any damage and repair as necessary. Vacuum the subfloor to remove any debris or dust.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Carpet

Measure the dimensions of the room and add a few inches on all sides to allow for trimming during installation. Unroll the carpet and let it acclimate to room temperature for at least 24 hours. Using the measurements, mark the dimensions on the back of the carpet and cut it according to the marks using a sharp carpet knife.

Step 3: Install the Carpet Padding

Lay the carpet padding over the entire floor area, ensuring it is smooth and flat. Trim any excess padding using a carpet knife. Use duct tape to secure the seams between each piece of padding, creating a seamless layer.

Step 4: Install Tack Strips

Place tack strips around the edges of the room, leaving a small gap between the strip and the wall. Use a hammer to secure the strips to the subfloor. Cut the strips to fit around corners and doorways.

Step 5: Stretch and Attach the Carpet

Starting from one corner of the room, use a knee kicker to hook the carpet onto the tack strips. Stretch the carpet using a power stretcher to ensure a tight and secure fit. Trim any excess carpet using a carpet knife, tucking it along the base of the walls.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Once the carpet is installed, use a carpet trimmer to neatly trim the edges and create a clean finish. Replace the baseboards and any furniture that was moved during the installation process.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed carpet (moquette) in your room. Remember to follow safety guidelines, wear protective gear, and take your time to achieve the best results. Enjoy the comfort and warmth of your newly installed carpet!
