What to Expect from the Tile Installation Process

Does your flooring need a makeover? Tile flooring is easy to clean and an affordable flooring solution for many families. The Bay Carpet tile installation process is professional and thorough, ensuring that your new flooring lasts for years of enjoyment.

• Custom Design: For the best design and function of your new tile flooring, Bay Carpet will begin by assessing the layout of your home. Bay Carpet professionals will schedule a visit to your home, and bring along samples of tile. If you plan on tiling your kitchen area, it’s essential for your installation experts to plan the design of the tiles. To create the best look, it’s important that the tiles are designed in rows and conclude with full or partial tiles along the edges of the room. On the day of your tile installation, Bap Carpet experts will select a starting point and an end point for their tiling layout.
     
• Precise Procedures: The tile installation process involves precise cuts and plotting. Your Bay Carpet tile installers will begin by applying adhesive to the current flooring of your home. After thoroughly securing the adhesive, your installers will begin placing the tiles in the previously agreed upon layout. Rows of tiles will begin to form and your new kitchen flooring will emerge. Your tile installation experts will also check for the accuracy of straight cuts and right angles before securing the tile layout.
       
• Application of Grout: Once the tiles are cut and placed into a finalized layout, the Bay Carpet installation professionals will grout your new flooring. Before the grouting process can begin, it’s essential that the adhesive dries against the tiles. Our tile installers apply grout using a sponge and spreader for improved accuracy. After the grout dries, you have the option of sealing your tile to prevent stains from forming.

What Cleans a Hardwood Floor Best?

Hardwood floors add a traditional look to any home, but they must be properly cared for in order to look their best. Watch this video for expert advice on cleaning your hardwood floors.

When vacuuming and dusting your home, make attending to your hardwood floors a part of your cleaning routine. Vacuum your hardwood floors to remove any large dirt particles from the surface. Then, wet a mop with water and gently clean the surface of the flooring to remove any dried liquids or other foreign particles. Make sure your hardwood flooring is completely dry before walking on it.

4 Ways to Prevent Stains on Your New Carpet

Your home creates an important impression on your friends, family, and new guests. Preventing stains from damaging your carpet can be a difficult task, especially with children, pets, and frequent social gatherings. Bay Carpet partners with you to protect your carpet with the following tips.

• Buy Stain-Resistant Carpet
  To protect your carpets from harmful stains, consider investing in stain-resistant carpet. Stain-resistant carpet is engineered to resist stains, making it able to stand up to spills and tracked-in dirt. The fibers in stain-resistant carpet repel foreign particles, so that when your carpet is installed, you’ll never have to worry about a damaging stain again.
     
• Avoid Eating in Carpeted Areas
  Keep your new carpet looking and feeling brand new by establishing rules with your family. To prevent accidental spills from occurring, discourage your children from bringing drinks and food into the carpeted rooms of your home. By eliminating the opportunity of drinks, food, and dirt to enter your carpeted areas, you’ll prevent many stains from damaging your new carpet.
     
• Train Your Pet
  You should train your pets to avoid the carpeted areas of your home. You can also make it difficult for them to access the carpeted areas with the use of gates. On rainy days, train your dogs and cats to wait by the door so you can clean their fur and paws of mud, dirt, and excess water.
       
• Seek Professional Help
  To protect your carpets from stains and dirt accumulation, have your carpets professionally installed. Professional carpet installation companies, such as Bay Carpet, make an expert assessment regarding your carpeting needs. With the quality and durable products at Bay Carpet, you won’t have to worry about stains affecting your new carpet.
