Carpet Options

[kr...@thcnet.net]

So looking at some options for carpet:

We can get a random assortment of 24" carpet tiles, which look something like
this:

https://www.amazon.com/Nance-Industries-Square-Assorted-Commercial/dp/B01C7DYZCQ/

https://www.amazon.com/Kaleidoscope-24-Carpet-Tile-Assorted/dp/B00BDW14CW

From what I see, random tends to be the most popular offering in 24" tiles.



If we wanted specific colors, 18" tiles are available, but cost a little more:

https://www.amazon.com/Ribbed-Carpet-Residential-Flooring-Adhering/dp/B00S6V4GLO

Seems to be mostly browns, and beige colors available for these kind of tiles



There are also 12" tiles, which cost even more yet:

https://www.amazon.com/Ribbed-Carpet-Residential-Flooring-Adhering/dp/B00S6V4GLO

Of these you can find a lot of greys/blacks.



They are all peel and stick, so it should be pretty easy from an installation
standpoint.

Of these options I like the idea of the random carpet tiles the best. It
seems to be the most cost effective option, but I also think it looks pretty
cool. We would be doing the main room, leaving the existing carpet in the 3D
printing, side office, and eletronics/laser cutting area.

Do people like that idea, or would we rather try to go with a solid color?

I'm not sure what were are doing, are we repairing the missing section of
carpet or are we replacing app the carpet in the main room?

That carpet repair is not as hard as it looks, I worked with a carpet
layer and he taught me how to do seams ( but ironically he did all the
seaming)

What is the price to have a carpet person do the repair?? Did we get
estimate?

The issue is, we can't find that carpet anymore to patch the hole.

We were gonna tear it all up and replace it with the carpet tiles, makes it easier to fix future issues too.

I think is a terrible idea, Just my opinion. I think it would be better to patch that carpet with a black insert, and a lot cheaper.

I'm not sure this is a good idea, but I have a rather large piece of commercial grade, barely used carpet, medium to light grey color with a random speckled pattern (I think), that I can donate.  It won't hide the dirt and traffic patterns well but will hide small spills and burns.  I think it is roughly 12'x20' but I would need to re-measure.  I think I could deliver it.  Let me know if you are interested.

We could definitely use that, if you are willing to bring it down.

Let me know when you would like it down at the SynShop by.  I'm out this weekend so next would be best for me.

Hi Richard,

 I see you are minding the shop on Saturday but I have an appointment that afternoon so I will try to get it down there before then.  I think I will attempt to deliver it on Thursday night.

Dan

[Aakin Patel]

That works too. Thank you again.

I delivered the carpet to the SynShop today.  It is in the back near the roll up door.

I have attached a few pictures of it.  It measured 12' (actually, slightly wider) by 25'.  It is very clean and never installed but is technically used, having been laid out for a couple of special events.

The label says it was manufactured in late 2004.  I checked for delamination and it seems intact but is a little dry in some place around the edges.  If you feel it is too old to install, I'll cut it up and haul it away.  Did you plan to install it on the concrete floor or over padding? I think it would be best to put it directly on the floor and will last longer that way.

Let me know what you think.

Dan

We are going to use it to fill in the missing carpet in the front room, I will get the right thickness padding to match what is there so there will not be a height difference.  Thanks for the carpet.

Hi Richard,

Did you get to work on the carpet?  If so, how did it work out?

Dan

[Richard Furniss]

Hi Dan, I checked out the carpet and it looks great. I'm going out of town this week and plan on doing it next week. The plan is to get the padding, carpet tape, tools, and set up a carpet party with pizza to get hands there.
