Power Stretching your Carpet.







The manufacture will only warranty carpet if it is stretched using a power stretcher with poles not a spike. The backing is made to be stretched into place and only can be done by using a power stretcher. Many years ago carpet had a different backing made of Jute a natural fiber that reacts much differently than todays backings. Although different manufactures put different backings on thier carpets one thing remains the same, they require you to power stretch the carpet with poles. If the carpet is not power stretched with poles it may loosen and wrinkle. The reason is the backing is synthetic and is designed to be installed tightly from wall to wall. You will get this every time at COUNTRY FLOORING DIRECT.
