If the results are more than 5 lbs. or higher than 80%, do not proceed with the installation. Contact Field Services at 1-888-387-9881.

DIRECT GLUE-DOWN INSTALLATION ROLL SEQUENCING Rolls of patterned carpet must be sequenced so the longest pattern is installed first and the roll with the next longest pattern can be stretched to match the longer one. This procedure is critical, because it is impossible to shrink a longer pattern to match a shorter pattern. This requires each roll be measured for pattern repeat prior to installation. See specific pattern elongation installation procedures below.

DIRECT GLUE-DOWN INSTALLATION 4 6. Roll or fold back the dry portion of the second breadth toward the seam, spread the NuBroadlok, and place the carpet to 3 feet from where the next seam will fall. 7. Be sure to roll out looseness and air bubbles as the carpet is put in place. Repeat above procedures on continuing breadths. To trim the carpet at the wall, use a razor-blade knife or suitable wall trimmer. 8. Roll completed installation with a 75 lb to 100 lb. roller in both length and width.
