Method 1: Stem Porcupine
Even if your floors have not yet lost their appearance after past repairs, with the help of such a wonderful thing as carpet, you can radically change the look of all your rooms. Thanks to the huge choice of colors and textures, you easily pick up the carpet under the style of interior already set in your apartment. The most wearable and at the same soft material is carpet, made of polyamide (nylon) - it serves 10-15 years. If you are afraid of synthetics, you can stop your choice on the now fashionable cover of sisal. Before buying, sellers are advised to first carefully measure the room, calculate its area, and then add to this figure 10-15%: this is the amount of material that will allow you not only to take into account when laying all corners, but also to stock up the necessary quantity for the so-called "operational replacement ". In addition to the coating itself, you need to purchase a substrate for it, with which you can level the floor and create a protective cushioning.
