  • Hello! I've reviewed the provided document which outlines the seaming instructions for the HT044 carpet. It details both side and cross seam techniques, emphasizing the importance of proper alignment and the use of tools like row finders and seam sealers. I understand the necessity of face-side seaming and have noted the required seam sealing and taping processes. Feel free to ask any questions you might have about the seaming procedure.
  • What side of the carpet should be seamed?
    What tool is recommended to help locate a row during seam?
    What should be checked before sealing a seam?
    At what temperature should the seaming iron be set?
    What weight is suitable for seam weight?

SEAMING INSTRUCTIONS
Always move seaming iron in the carpets pile direction and allow seam to completely cool before stretching.
Keep cross seams to a minimum. They are best when cut from back of carpet.
Using a straight edge [6 ft.], and carpenter square, adjust straight edge so that the seam will be straight across width mark
on each side either with a notch cut into the edge or make a mark then snap a white chalk line from side to side.
Now align the straight edge to the chalk line and cut carpet using a very sharp razor knife; on piece of carpet with pile laying
toward seam, hold razor knife on a slight angle undercutting the face fibers slightly, other edge cut straight up and down.
Pull both pieces together and check seam for proper fit, if satisfied with fit seam, seal both cut edges and allow to dry. Use
a premium quality seam tape to seam edges together, follow by rolling over seam with a round wheel seam roller and a
seam weight no heavier than 10 lbs. to hold seam flat while cooling. Allow seam to cool completely before stretching.
