Great video guys been wanting to learn this, how do you plan/measure for this would be great to see a full video from measure, cutting up etc. Awesome work as always
Fab lads loved it, video production was ace too. I did want to know a few things from this too if you dont mind me asking, do you always start your stairs from bottom to top, and why use the douls to hold the carpet already in the gripper on steps. Also do you always template your halls/landings when your doing borders?
Brian Coakley I always fit my stair bottom top as it’s more of a tighter fit. I use awls to hold the carpet in place so it don’t move when stretching up. When I do body and border it depends. Not always template. Sometimes I’ll put the border in if I’m double sticking and then come in with the field later
Ah gotcha, good to know, if you ever get a chance to video a border job from scratch id love to watch it, haven't done it many times myself, its a real pain to do it
Why dont you use the speed catt to crease it on the stairs after stretching it on? Works really well for me and reduces the risk of splitting the carpet justing going straight in with the bolster and mallet.
Trim& TuckCarpets i also stretch on with the top of my stretcher to hold carpet in place but use the speedcatt to crease the carpet into the gully all the way accross the step1st before hammering in👍Try it😉
Nice try but 1. Never heat seam border to body allways sew and seal, heat seaming can cause heat distortion between two different manufacturerd carpets causing bubbling on seam no matter how many join grips and flat plate weights you put on it. 2. Underlay should be Felt not rubber or PU so sewn joins bed in to felt as with a heat seamed boarder you will feel the tape under foot on non felt underlay
Currently doing a fitting course for 2 years fitting to this quality!
Excellent video Sal.
Like irish eyes said, it would be great for you to show the whole process. But thanks for the vid. Very inspiring.

Nice 💯👍🏼

What trimmer you use to cut the stairs with ??
Why dont you use the speed catt to crease it on the stairs after stretching it on? Works really well for me and reduces the risk of splitting the carpet justing going straight in with the bolster and mallet.
caneytt I stretch on with the top of my stretcher. Don’t need the speed Catt for that personally. With the bolster. At 1st I gradually punch it in
Trim& TuckCarpets i also stretch on with the top of my stretcher to hold carpet in place but use the speedcatt to crease the carpet into the gully all the way accross the step1st before hammering in👍Try it😉
caneytt done that a few times in the past with tougher csrpet. I just use to gradually hitting it in.
Hi do you provide carpet fitting course
Unfortunately not at the moment
Get knee off join would make it uneven. If that's on pins should be power stretched.
It’s a training bay lol
@@TrimTuckCarpets
I'll let you off then.
Ha ha ha.

while its hot

To be honest. If one was going to do this on a actual job. It would be double stuck and seam sealed . This was for Practice purposes...
