Wednesday 12 October <\/h3>\n

The Carpet suppliers on their quote for the carpet were overcharging for the carpet by \u00a310.00 a square metre and also charging a small fortune for grippers, underlay and fitting, so we decided to simply order the carpet (at the correct price) from them and arrange our own fitting.<\/p>\n

I ordered some Cloud 9 Super Contract underlay via Amazon marketplace, on 26th September that arrived the next day.<\/p>\n

The carpet finally arrived on Wednesday 5th October, unfortunately the carpet fitter we had found was not available to fit the carpet until today.<\/p>\n

All ready to go – carpet, thresholds and underlay.<\/p>\n

Gripper rods installed using mastic as well as nails.<\/p>\n

Next was the underlay, which is spray glued in place at each end.<\/p>\n

Then finally the carpet is cut to size, stretched and trimmed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

In all it only took him 2 hours from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Here it is looking much better after being vacuumed for the first time.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The carpet is Lano Smartstrand Gentle Bliss Acorn 220 and is a fully synthetic carpet, but it feels like silk underfoot – we are very pleased with it.<\/p>\n

This view also shows the threshold we chose which has an antique bronze effect and will be used on all of the thresholds throughout the house.<\/p>\n

Another view with slightly different lighting.<\/p>\n
