John Dirks Jr Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I called out some loose carpet in a stairway last week. The carpet was cut in individual pieces, one for each rise/run. It was held down with tack strips only and was popping loose in several places. I was just wondering, shouldn't the carpet for the stairs be one continuous piece?

carle3 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 No, carpet layers will typically cut a piece to cover just a few treads at a time. It would be to difficult to work with a 12 foot runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its usually not done in one piece, but it ends up looking that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
