Hi, i'm renovating my mums place, and I've just got round to fitting a carpet in one of the rooms. I bought the carpet about 6 months ago as an new offcut which was labelled and sold to me as 3.9m long, it turns out after unrolling it that it is about 40mm too short on a 3.45m long room. This is really annoying and far from ideal, but do you think the carpet will stretch 40mm over 3.45m when I stretch it to fit it? any advice appreciated, thanks
carpet too short how much will it stretch
- Thread starter rolysatch
- Start date
Skim the walls and fit thicker skirting boards…..
That’s only 1%; I’d be surprised if you can’t stretch it that much. Not that I’ve ever tried.
ha, i'm desperate but not that desperate
i was hoping someone would say that, i don't have a lot of choice so will give it a go, thanks
