The staples grip through the carpet and into the floor below to create a fast bond between the two, ensuring that the carpet isn’t going to lift up around the edges or slide around underfoot. To install a carpet using double-sided tape, you should remove all of the furniture from a room and then lay your carpet out in the space.

It may not deliver as much power as needed for heavier work, but this all-purpose stapler is capable of some re-tacking carpet jobs.Use a single pre-cut and pre-measured carpet roll for straight stairs so you can drape the carpet over the ends of the stairs, covering the stairs completely and ensuring that the carpet stays in place.

Place the staple gun as close to the edge of the carpet as possible along the outer edges of the carpeting on the rise. As with other manual staple guns when used for large jobs like carpet installation, it may cause some fatigue over time. Instead, it is best to use a heavy-duty hammer tack along with an electric stapler, though you could get by with just a hammer tack.

This is the line you should cut along with sharp scissors, or if you have a sharp utility knife, you can cut along the crease while it is angled into the corner of the wall. To narrow things down, we focused o features such as safety mechanisms, user-friendliness, penetration power, and more.

The best staple gun for carpet installation can be subjective, but the tools listed above contain many of the quality features needed for a good carpet stapler.Stapling carpet onto stairs is only one small part of the process necessary to lay carpet or a stair runner on a set of stairs. To staple your carpet to the floor, you are going to need some specialist tools, along with the right kind of staples. The minimum size of a staple for installing carpet is half an inch, but staples that are bigger than this can also be used, with 9/16-inch staples also being a popular size. Continue to place staples two-inches apart along the outer edges of the carpeting on the rise and tread of the stairs and never through the middle of the steps. Once this is complete, lay your carpet back down on the floor over the top of the tape, which has not yet been peeled back to reveal the upper sticky surface.

Oftentimes the electric stapler will be too awkward to fit around the edge of the room, meaning your staples can get close enough to the wall. Lift the staple gun and check to see if the staple is visible when the carpet falls back into place. Attach the carpet at the top of the stairs and at the back of each tread and bottom of each rise with a tackless strip; this holds the carpet into place, attaching it to the stairs in places where staples should not be placed.A regular staple gun is not going to work on carpet because the staples used in these are not big enough to go through a layer of carpet, padding and into the floor below. Even still, the handle has a rubber molded grip for comfort, a handy feature if you have a lot of carpet to place. When installing a carpet for the first time, there are some questions you are going to want to find answers to, including which is the best way to adhere the carpet to the floor?
