How to quickly install carpets onto existing wood or laminate flooring?

With Sigan 3.

Wood flooring or laminate floors are often encountered as substrates in renovation projects. To install a new carpet that does not damage the existing floor, Sigan 3 is recommended. To replace laminate flooring, Sigan 3 can be used to install new carpet quickly and cleanly. Sigan 3 is guaranteed to leave no residues on the original floor when the floor covering is removed. The original wooden or laminate flooring can then be used again or serve once more as substrate for new carpet.

Step by step guide:

Clean the substrate with clean water to remove dust, dirt, etc. Then wait until the substrate is completely dry.

First perform a trial to check whether Sigan 3 adheres to the existing wooden flooring.

Apply the Sigan 3 tape along walls. This provides increased adhesive strength around the edges.

Apply Sigan 3 sheets on in the running direction of the carpet and cut back the overlap on the Sigan 3 tape (caution: do not damage the wood flooring or laminate floor!). Alternatively, Sigan can also be installed using the 2-man method (see product data sheet).

Layout the carpet.

Fold back half of the carpet. Pull the protective paper away from the Sigan 3. Cut the pulled off protective paper except for a 10 cm remnant. Fold the remnant back under the carpet to form a flap.

Slide the carpet onto the Sigan 3 and roll-out.

Now fold back the second half of the carpet. Pull the protective paper away from the Sigan 3 and pick up the dirt with the help of the flap created. Now slide and roll-out the second half of the carpet onto the Sigan 3.

The carpet can be walked on and used straight away. Stack and roll up the protective paper to reduce the volume of waste.

The carpet can be removed without leaving residues or damaging the old floor even years later.
