Is Carpet Stretching Important?

Carpet is stretched during installation and thereafter during repair of carpet. The first stretch during installation makes sure the carpet is secure, across the whole floor cover and well taught.

Causes of Carpet Rippling or buckling

The various causes of buckling and rippling of the carpet include: Tear and wear as a result of traffic, poor installation, deterioration of the latex and padding that is improper.

Wear and tear result as traffic of moving wheelchairs, tricycles, walkers, etc. The wear and tear make the carpet loose hence buckling it. This will, therefore, need stretching.

Furniture sliding over the carpet causes the carpets to ripple as it is made of heavy fabric. This brings up the need for Carpet stretching.

When carpets types are not paired with proper padding types they ripple and buckle hence need for stretching.

Deterioration of latex that holds back the carpet leads to loss of its grip resulting in fiber lose and buckling. This will require a stretch as such.

Improper carpet installation that is without the use of a power stretcher leads to the fast rate of buckling.

Why Stretch a Carpet

A carpet is always designed to lay flat on the floor so it won't be sightful to step on buckled or rippled carpet. Rippled carpets can easily wear and tear off hence there is a need for carpet wrinkle repair rather than replacing it with a new one. Never waste your money replacing the carpet as it is as cheaper stretching it on your own or calling upon the professionals to have the job done.

Carpet stretching isn’t as easy as stretching a bedsheet as it comes handy with a couple of tools to use. Stretch your carpet to avoid further loosening it and to save on the costs of doing the replacement.
