For a small room, less than 12 m, there will be quite fixation of the carpet on double-sided adhesion around the perimeter. If the area of the room is from 12 to 20 m., Scotch must be paved around the perimeter and through each meter. In the spacious room more than 20 m. Manufacturers strongly advise gluing the cloth to the base.
In some cases, this method is the only possible, such as, for example, with flooring on inclined surfaces, on the floor of the premises with bends, stairs. The carpet, laid in a similar way, fits tightly to the floor, the joints of the canvas are invisible, the edges do not wear out that as a result, it significantly increases its service life. Keep in mind: Claims associated with a rapid deterioration of the quality of the coating (loss of strength or thickness, the formation of waves, fuses, coils, etc.), are considered only when the carpet laying has been conducted strictly according to the instructions.

Carpet size

The seemingly straight corners in practice are far from the ideal, and a small stock leaves the possibility of maneuvers.
