Carpets with jute backing have to acclimate at least 24 hours to prevent shrinking and water-based glue is not recommended. flatwoven carpet 1. General Inspect the material before installing. Please note: carpets made from natural raw materials such as wool and jute contain impurities and irregularities - thickenings in the jute are always to be expected - they are inherent to the carpet. - Make a placement plan with as little loss as possible. Install the strips towards the window and try to make as few seams as possible. - Measure and add 20 cm to the length - natural fibers will shrink under the influence of humidity and temperature changes. -Maintain a smooth and dry surface (work cracks and irregularities with) jute - burlap and water are major enemies - moist surfaces cause shrinkage and mold. 2 Installation - All strips must be laid in the same production direction - 24 hours before installation, the carpet in the room must be acclimatized - unroll and provide an extra 5 cm at the edges. - End seams are not recommended - use a profile if no other choice. - The carpet can be laid loose, but this is not recommended: -Carpet provides better walking comfort, better thermal and acoustic properties and it improves wear behavior. - Use a stable, thick and compact carpet underlay. Making seams is difficult here. - We recommend fully gluing the carpet. Use a polyacrylic adhesive for this; a water-based glue causes shrinkage of the burlap backing. - Cut the seams between 2 warp threads carefully, with a sharp knife or scissors (cut at the front) on both strips to be laid together (at approx. 5-10 cm from the side). - Fix the selvedges of these seams with an anti-fray adhesive. - Fold the carpet back 2m on both sides and glue. Respect the drying time of the glue. - A light layer of glue will not be enough to absorb the tension in the carpet - use enough, otherwise you will get folds and bubbles. - Close the seam and keep it closed while the adhesive hardens. If the seam is not perfectly closed, use your kneepad Manufacturer of woollen wall-to-wall carpets and rugs.
