It depends on the carpet that you are installing. If the carpet is a hessian or action backed carpet then traditionally it is installed over a separate underlay with grippers around the edge of the room. Grippers are the nasty spiked things that everyone catches their foot on! The carpet is attached at one side of the room and then stretched across and attached to the grippers on the opposite side. If the carpet is felt or foam backed then it should be installed directly to the subfloor provided it is of a reasonable standard. Felt or foam backed carpets are traditionally fixed on double sided tape or spray adhesive. Should you be installing a carpet in a contract location then the carpet and underlay should be installed using a double stick method. The underlay is stuck to the subfloor and then the carpet stuck to the underlay.
A tack strip for concrete is used to secure carpet in place. It is installed by nailing or gluing the strip to the concrete floor along the edges of the room.
To effectively use a carpet stretcher to properly stretch and install your carpet, start by positioning the stretcher at one end of the room and hooking it onto the carpet. Then, use the lever to stretch the carpet towards the opposite wall, making sure it is taut and smooth. Repeat this process along the length of the room, adjusting as needed to ensure the carpet is evenly stretched and securely installed.

When laying down new carpet, experience is a must. While it costs less to purchase carpet and install it yourself, it may not be worth it in the long run. Over time a poorly installed carpet will begin to bubble in the middle of the room, making the room unsightly. A professional carpet installer can guarantee their work. The carpet will be stretched and secured correctly, and many installers will fix any problems with the carpet for a specified period of time after installation free of charge. Hiring a professional may be worth the peace of mind.
