Door
Cutting |
|
|
|
|
| |
Our installers
will gladly remove hinged doors and replace them after your
new
Abbey flooring is installed. If, however, your new flooring
is thicker than your old flooring, the doors will need trimming
for proper clearance. In this instance the doors will be left
off their hinges so you can trim the doors.
|
|
| |
Moldings |
|
|
|
|
| |
Baseboard
moldings, in most installations, can be left in place. Our
installers will work with the molding, but cannot be responsible
for breakage and scratches.
|
|
| |
Removing
your Existing Floor Covering |
|
|
|
|
| |
You will
need to know how you will dispose of your old flooring before
installers arrive. If you are going to remove the old carpet
and pad yourself, please leave the existing tack strip down
only if replacing with carpet.
|
|
| |
Color
Changes & Shading |
|
|
|
|
| |
Many
of today's high luster fabrics display a light or dark shade
difference in color depending on the direction the carpet
is laid in the room.
|
|
| |
Pattern
Matching |
|
|
|
|
| |
Due to
the nature of the manufacturing process, most print and multi-tone
patterns are impossible to match exactly. Many of these styles
will require additional yardage to achieve the closest match
possible.
|
|
| |
Sanding |
|
|
|
|
| |
If your
installation requires sanding, it is a good idea to cover
all cupboards and furniture in the adjacent rooms. If a lot
of sanding is to be done, you may want to seal off the room
with plastic.

| |
Warmth
& Space, Please |
|
|
|
|
| |
Installers
will work in areas other than the room(s) being laid with
new Abbey flooring in order to prepare and store the new floor
covering during installation. Typically, this will be a garage,
patio or carport. Please be sure there is electricity handy
and that the temperature is at least 65 degrees in the rooms
to be installed.
|
|
| |
Material
Waste |
|
|
|
|
| |
Every
installation has material waste; these leftover pieces are
most common in irregular rooms, or when stairs and halls are
recovered.
|
|
| |
Carpet
Seams |
|
|
|
|
| |
In order
to properly install your new Abbey flooring, cutting and seaming
are quite common. Today's heat-bonded seams are as strong
as the rest of the carpet; however, the seams themselves are
not invisible. Our installers take great pride in making the
seams as inconspicuous as possible
|
|
| |
Painting |
|
|
|
|
| |
Take
a look at the room for which your Abbey flooring was bought.
What is the condition of your ceiling? Do your walls need
repainting? We recommend that all painting is complete before
your new Abbey flooring arrives.
|
|
| |
Empty
Rooms, Please! |
|
|
|
|
| |
Rooms
and closets that will be resurfaced must be emptied. Please
remember, for both your protection and ours, if the rooms
are not cleared before delivery, our company will not
be liable for any damage that might occur, directly or indirectly,
while handling your property.
|
|
| |
Dining
Rooms & Dens |
|
|
|
|
| |
Remove
all your breakables (ashtrays, plates, vases, lamps, and collectibles)
prior to moving the actual furniture; make sure all electrical
components are disconnected before you attempt to move your
stereo, computer, VCR or TV. Our installers are not
responsible for reconnecting these items.
|
|
| |
Kitchen
& Utility Areas |
|
|
|
|
| |
Disconnect
your washer, dryer, and all gas appliances. Our installers
are not responsible for disconnecting or
reconnecting any appliances.
|
|
| |
Bedrooms |
|
|
|
|
| |
Beds
need to be stripped prior to installation. Installers will
dismantle the beds if necessary.
|
|
| |
Bathrooms |
|
|
|
|
| |
If
vinyl is installed, please arrange for the toilet bowl to
be removed prior to the installers' arrival.
