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.
