To replace the carpet she removed, Golden plans to lay modular carpet tiles (figure A). The carpet tiles come in 2 different sizes and are made of nylon sisal, a very durable fiber. These tiles also have a carpet pad attached so no additional carpet skills are necessary. - Sweep the floor well (figure B) to remove any dust and debris.
- Determine the center of the floor by snapping two chalk lines (width and length). The chalk lines will also divide the room into smaller segments for easy workspaces.
- In this instance, Golden uses double-sided tape on the floor but pressure adhesive can be used as well. The tape may be applied to the floor in any pattern.
- Install the carpet tiles outward from the center chalk line (figure C). The tape will help keep the tiles secure while laying other pieces.
- Cut the excess tiles from the back (figure D) using a utility knife and a straight edge.
