The Carpetguru's Carpet Forum: This is the place for your questions and comments
Jim,
I finally did decide on the Shaw Lastrada (T) Q0746 for our great room, stairs, hall and master b.r. I heard or think that there are 3 different grades of every carpet (hence: 3 different Lastrada's) I'm not really sure on this. Anyway, since I got the carpet store to come down $3.50 per sq. yard to meet a competitor's price, I wondered if it would be easy for him to order me a lesser grade of the Shaw Lastrada then what I had picked out and I wouldn't no the difference? I do have the specs on this piece I chose (gauge, face weight, twist, etc.) but if he gets me a sub that "looks" the same how would I know??? What I really want to do is trust the guy...but should I not have a way to "check" to know that what I wanted is what I got.

We have old wrinkled carpet and we have pulled out our old chipped baseboards (to paint walls). We now need to install new carpets and new baseboards. Do we install the new baseboards before the new carpet or the carpet first? Do we have to raise the basboards up off the subfloor 1/8 to 1/4 inch if we install them first? Also, should the carpet installers install new tackstrips or use the old? The old ones are at least 10-15 years old.
Dear Jim,
I am looking for a couple throw rugs for an entryway that is hardwood. I want something absorbent but it also has to be somewaht non-skid. I read in a carpet store website somewhere that the rubberback rugs will over time discolor the finish on a hardwood floor as it does on vinyl. Can you help me? I am not getting answers to my questions anywhere.
Thanks, Marsha
