Carpet Stretchings

Practical guidance and key points.

Carpet stretching is a crucial process to maintain the appearance and longevity of carpets. Over time, carpets can develop wrinkles, bulges, or loose areas due to foot traffic, humidity, or improper installation. Proper stretching restores the carpet's smoothness and prevents further damage, ensuring a clean and professional look.

Duration and Process of Carpet Stretching

A professional carpet stretching session usually lasts from one to three hours. The process involves removing furniture, detaching the carpet edges, and using specialized tools to stretch the carpet tightly across the floor. The edges are then secured with tack strips or adhesives, and the carpet is reinstalled smoothly without wrinkles or loose areas.

Hiring a professional ensures that the stretching is done correctly, preventing future issues such as buckling or unraveling. Experienced technicians use precise techniques to achieve a uniform appearance and secure fit, which can be difficult to replicate with DIY methods.
