We regard quality as base for the development of company, we have built our quality control system to guarantee good quality products and satisfactory services are provided to our customer. The hairspray method above generally works well. But you may have to repeat the process multiple times. This, of course, does bring about some issues, including wear and tear-related trouble, and the surface may start to discolour. So use it with caution! In the meantime, maybe you could attach something to your side of your fence to prevent your cats from being able to climb over Once the carpet is fitted, there may be a slight odour which may be caused by the carpet or the underlay. This is called "off-gassing" and is due to chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in household items such as carpet adhesive, paint, and pressed-wood furniture. They evaporate at room temperature, which is why your carpet begins to smell once it is laid in your house.

Electric carpet staplers are powerful and need to be handled carefully. You should not rush when you squeeze the trigger to apply your staples. Typically, an electric stapler is designed to create neat connections between seams. Your neighbour sounds vile and my heart goes out to you and your kitties. Unfortunately, what they are doing is not against the law. The council in their capacity of landlord probably don't much care what happens at the property as long as the rent is coming in However, there is such thing as a 'community protection notice' and I wonder if it could be used in this case. It would most likely still be the council (or maybe approach your local PCSO for advice) but this legislation may allow an authorised person to issue a notice requiring your neighbours to take action, such as removing the nails, if it can be proved: cats are classed as wildlife, hence having the right to roam, all hes doing is protecting his home/garden against the damage caused by said 'wildlife', which he is allowed to dobe reasonable/unreasonable. Many average Joes use much harsher methods to deter cats, including but not limited to sonic devices that could also affect the cats in the OPs garden, as well as growing harmful plants and putting things down like slug pellets, rat poison, using antifreeze ( for legal purposes) that a cat could ingest and die from I've rung the RSPCA several times but they won't get involved unless an animal is injured and we can prove it was the nails in the carpet grippers! Carpet grippers are long pieces of plywood, usually 1.5m long x 2cm wide. They have sharp angled nails in them that are designed to hold the carpet in place. Yes, if you want a good finish to your carpet then using carpet grippers will help it look smooth and professional. This is will increase the longevity of your carpet and keep it looking and feeling new for longer. Get your carpet grippers alongside your new carpet from us.

Instead, you should try to find carpet staples, which are usually sized around half an inch or more. Some are even 9/16 of an inch. You should determine the correct staple size for the specific tool you are using before you begin. This will ensure that the carpet is secured correctly. Round wire nail: They are used for when strength is very essential such as rough carpentry. In those situations, appearance is not as important as strength. You will get the benefit from its power. Sizes vary from 20 mm to 150 mm. They are mostly used for very rough and heavy-duty woodwork, again when the strength is very important. They can be used for general-purpose fixing as well as the construction of roof trusses and pallets.However, if you have a solid floor like concrete or asphalt, we always recommend a bead of Gripfill as well as nails (the nails are designed to go into concrete).

Also, some carpets are made with built-in cushions, which can make it even harder to get a staple through the base. Space the nails about 150mm apart around the edges, but 225mm apart in the centre. It’s a good idea to start in the centre of one edge and work across the board to the other side. With the holes drilled, insert the end of your dowel rod into a hole. Make sure it’s a secure fit, because the dowel rod is going to act as a rawlplug, giving the nails of the gripper rod something to sink into. When we were on better terms with the neighbors in question some years ago they told us they have friends at the Council and we have no doubt that this is in fact true. They may have a garden full of cat harmful/poisonous plants and actually be doing you a favour, by attempting to keep your cats out and safe, or, would you go around and tell them what to grow in their garden too?

You should place the Gripper Rods approximately 10mm away from the skirting boards with the pins pointing towards the skirting boards. They are fixed around the perimeter of the room and are used to help tension the carpet and hold it in place – this stops the carpet and underlay from moving and rippling. Remove as much nail polish as you can from the carpeted surface – use a teaspoon or plastic spatula. Cut floor brad nails: Their shape is different from others. They are rectangular in shape. They have an L-shaped head. Often they are used to nail the floorboards to the beams. Dimensions range from 25mm to 150mm.
