    I’ve been fitting 30 years. Never gripped risers , always turned back . Great demo , always 10 ways to skin a cat . As a side note, wear a aerosol mask when spray gluing . I worked in NZ for years and we always use PPE . Spray adhesive is cancerous 🇮🇪👌

    I’ve never seen them glued, double like a double glue down Job glue the carpet to the pad on a pie stare at the first as long as they look good and give good service

    Note: its not bending the pins as you wrongly state, otherwise the carpet would come off, but engaging the carpet backing onto the pins!

    Nice informative video…my carpet fitter mate uses gripper over riser method and it looks lots neater imo. My only criticism is grippers should never be nailed onto risers only screwed, as the hammering can cause the riser to come off at the back of the tread and they’re a nightmare to fix 👍🏼

    Out of interest what was wrong with the underlay type used? What do you recommend instead?

    Stairs look good, but if there's a lip they should be upholstered. That's why the lip was put on the raw wood by the builder in the first place

    Great vids. I feel like I may actually be able to fit my own stair carpets now. Just out of interest, the carpet I’ve got is all off cuts (same carpet) so there’s plenty. Is this going to affect it in any way ? (Never fitted carpet before) 😂😂

    Only put grippers on stair riser on winders? Or would this make a good finish on straight stairs aswel?
    Great video again boys. Much appreciated

    • @homeimprovements
      @homeimprovements  5 місяців тому +1

      Only really need it on winders and obstacles like newel posts etc but I have used it on straights and works great 😊

    • @JR-1983
      @JR-1983 4 місяці тому

      Better not to put gripper up the rise of the step imo the more gripper you use the more likely you will be to put the back of the step through

      Both but the 4000 is the one we use daily better gun imo 😁👍🏼

  • @suzz1776
    @suzz1776 Рік тому +1

    So what is the benefit of going up vs. going down the stairs??? Cuz I swear I heard before in a diff vid y'all did that the pros normally go up and is better for some reason but harder to do as a diy'er?? Maybe I heard wrong but still I would like to know if there is a benefit for one way or another. Thxs

    • @homeimprovements
      @homeimprovements  Рік тому +1

      We can fit both ways, the bottom up is a lot harder and the difference is minimal, that’s why we teach this way 😊😉

  • @Tom-pt9ey
    @Tom-pt9ey Рік тому

    How do you guys manage to get the staple gun in on the risers when the winder is awkward and unreachable?

    • @homeimprovements
      @homeimprovements  Рік тому +1

      Sometimes you are unable to get the pin gun in so leave ungrippered and fold and tuck your carpet in 👍🏻
