New Carpet In A 14 X 70
Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:10 pm
A year and a half ago I had new carpet installed as part of a make-over of this old 14 x 70.
I looked at a lot of carpets and got three quotes and wasn't happy with any of them. All wanted to use 12' wide carpet that ended up with a lot of waste, thus costing more.
I then found out commercial grade carpet comes in 15' wide rolls. Hmmm. 15' is only a little wider than 14', not much waste and best of all NO SEAMS!!
I selected a medium brown commercial carpet to match the EuroStone tile that was already in place. The type carpet is a short pile and very wear resistent.
I then got a quote much better than using regular house carpet. The company did a very good job installing and not much left over.
And no seams.
The commercial grade carpet with 6 lbs. padding looks good. It's easy to vacuum and feels good when walking on it.
I'd do the same again (three rooms and a hall).
Total cost: $875, padding and all.
