Carpet Seam Tape Installation

Seam peaking occurs when the seam is set and then stretching occurs as the installation process is completed.
Carpet seam tape installation. Position the seaming iron. Carpet tape does make it possible to install multiple pieces of carpeting side by side and if you follow directions for installing carpet seam tape seams should blend with the rest of the flooring. If you are replacing a section of already installed carpet just pull it back far enough so that plenty of the undersides are exposed. Depending on the type of tape you use you might need to heat it for several minutes to begin activating the adhesive on the seam tape.
Place a carpet seaming iron under the two pieces of carpet against the carpet seam tape and plug in the iron.
