1 • CARPET AND CUSHION INSTALLATION - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
This study guide covers the installation of carpet and related materials in residential, commercial, and institutional applications to the extent noted for each. Specifiers and other persons using this guide should verify all facts relative to the particular project requirements.
1 • CARPET AND CUSHION INSTALLATION - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
.01 General:
|
|
.02 Tools and Installation Materials:
|
|
.03 Acceptable Substrates and Site Conditions:
|
|
.04 Planning and Layout:
|
|
.05 Shop Drawings (installation / seam layout drawings):
|
Do not scale the design authority's drawings or calculate sizes from drawing dimensions shown. All measurements must be taken at the site.
|
.06 Seams:
|
|
.07 Pile Direction:
|
|
.08 Patterned Carpet and Pattern Matching: (General Considerations)
|
Note: These manufacturing variations may be adjusted by stretching the carpet if the variations are within the manufacturer's tolerances.
Where the variations exceed the manufacturer's tolerances, the carpet installation work shall be stopped and the manufacturer's representative shall be contacted for specific directions or a resolution. |
|
.09 Storage, Handling, and Delivery
|
|
.10 Conditioning:
|
Note: If the temperature and humidity levels are outside these parameters, the installation must not begin until the heating and ventilation system (and air conditioning system if an option) is operational and the temperature and humidity level reaches the minimum manufacturers and NFCA requirements and is maintained for a minimum of 48 hours before, during, and at least 48 hours after the installation.
|
|
.11 Cushion Layout and Cutting: (when cushion is used)
|
The orientation and seam layout of the carpet above shall dictate the orientation of cushion layout and seam locations.
|
|
.12 Carpet Layout and Cutting
|
|
.13 Edge Seaming
|
Note that the majority of non-patterned woven carpets require selvedge edge trimming prior to seaming, generally on or between the warp yarns on the back of the carpet. The selvedges of some woven carpet however, must not be trimmed. In all cases the carpet manufacturer must be contacted for specific edge seaming recommendations for woven and patterned carpets.
To prevent ravelling or fraying of the face fibres at seams and cut-outs, all non-coated or dry-backed woven carpets must be coated with a latex sealer prior to trimming or cutting. |
|
.14 Seaming:
|
|
.15 Seam Peaking:
|
|
.16 Fitting
|
Note: Some woven carpet selvedges must not be trimmed. Refer to cutting information noted above.
|
.17 Unprotected / Transition Edges:
|
|
.18 Expansion Joints
