@mrfantum1 I should have been more clear .This was a question for a carpet job Im doing in my home. I ordered the carpet 50 50 wool, but I have standard padding and have heard felt might be better, what's your thoughts? Thanks.
@ogcabbage6213 I have used felt very seldom, we use mostly your traditional foam pad. The felt may not be as soft, but it will probably last longer than the foam pad in heavy traffic areas.
I like this idea of gluing the tack strips down rather than beating concrete nails into the concrete. I had to remove some tack strips and it pocked the concrete where the nails ripped out, so had to patch. Also seems the nails could help allow moisture up thru the slab.
@@mrfantum1 yeah we have existing carpet tile that has a glue that you can pull the old tile up and put a new tile down but sometimes some of that adhesive comes off. Tried researching this specific type of glue as I don't have the original bucket and nothing states about being able to pull a tile off and put another one back down. I appreciate it.
Often I determine whether I want a releaseable adhesive or not releasable based on the type of traffic that you get on it. And I have a traffic area you may not want a releaseable adhesive. Especially if there is sliding chairs or any type of furniture or anything that could catch the edge of the carpet tile.
Done right. Power stretched. Just watched 6 dudes on you tube giving tutorials on knee kicking in basements. Everything has to be power stretched. You can't give a knee kicker tutorial on you tube and have it work. Knee kicking takes a lot of practice.
With this carpet and the tape down installation method, can you get a really clean, flush transition to hard flooring like tile or polished concrete without using a threshold or any type of transition strip?
