Advantages: 1 | 2 | 3

Using the stretching method for laying fitted carpets requires Tack Strip, underlay, and the carpet itself. The underlay (made of felt or foam) gives the effect that you are walking on air.

Better soundproofing and heat insulation

The combination of carpet and underlay, sound proofs the floor from noises and at the same time insulates.

Longer lifespan of the carpet

Since the carpet is only fixed along the edges, it eases and tenses more flexibly under pressure. As a rule, a stretched carpet has a much longer life than a glued carpet. Since a stretched carpet lies loosely on the floor surface and is not fixed to the floor it lends itself to be cleaned a lot easier and vacuumed a lot more thoroughly than a carpet that has been glued The air can circulate much better during vacuuming and the vacuum cleaner suction is maximalized, resulting in more efficient removal of dust and dust mites
