For all you "installers" criticizing this video. Have you ever read the study put out by Orcon about 15 yrs ago entitled "The Carpet Installation Crisis"? If not, maybe you should because things haven't changed much and you are the reason why installers wages are kept so low..

Obviously you don't!!

QUESTION: "You're supposed to stretch the carpet before seaming?"
ANSWER: YES!!
QUESTION: "...what if it's a patterned material?"
ANSWER: Learn your trade and you would not ask such questions!!

Judging by some of the comments, it is easy to see why there are SO MANY installation related problems. CRI 104-105 ARE the minimum and recognized standards for carpet installation. LEARN IT.. LIVE IT.. Those who do not follow these standards are, in part, the reason why the industry is in such dire straits.

They made this video just for the sole purpose to confuse you and make you think to yourself..."I'm just gonna pay someone to do this shit". This is a over loaded video. Its not that hard people. Just rent a knee kicker and just do it!

Listen I make no money as it is, SPEED is the most important element if you ever want to be done. Using a powerstretcher the way they do is hilarious to me. Ive been an installer for 20+ years, never is the stretching a problem.

That brown jute backing they mention is very rare these days, actually I had forgotten about it. I havent seen it for years and yes that backing makes a very stretchy carpet where they may have believed carpets needs to be power stretched. I do ocasionally see brown backing only on wool carpet that is yes stretchy, but also thin and very easy to stretch with a kicker. Not to mention wool is very expensive.$100-$150 a yard, making it a rare instal.
This video made me sleepy.

remember to stretch from A to C but not too much where it touches D and E. if you do stretch A and C too much, cut off from F and G. Divide the perpendicular of B to the square root of D and E minus A. any question, ask someone who gives a shit!
