Read our top tips for how to fit your door bar correctly: Once the carpet is fitted, there may be a slight odour which may be caused by the carpet or the underlay. This is called "off-gassing" and is due to chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in household items such as carpet adhesive, paint, and pressed-wood furniture. They evaporate at room temperature, which is why your carpet begins to smell once it is laid in your house. You should always use new gripper rods when you install a new carpet. Old gripper rods can become weak, water damaged and hammered out of shape when you install and remove them. Meaning they won’t hold your carpet in place effectively.

There is no danger from this gas, but many people don't like the smell. Ideally, you should ventilate the room well by opening windows and doors for 72 hours.

Carpet gripper rods are covered in sharp nails and pins that can easily become airborne when levered off the floor. Be careful, it’s not worth losing an eye to a carpet gripper. It’s also a good idea to wear gloves; the nails and pins are sharp and you don’t want to cut yourself.

They are fixed around the perimeter of the room and are used to help tension the carpet and hold it in place – this stops the carpet and underlay from moving and rippling. Now, on to actually removing the gripper… Starting at one end of the room, use a chisel to get underneath the gripper and gently hammer along the length of the gripper to loosen it up. You should then be able to lever the nails/adhesive loose and remove them from the floor to make space for new ones. Use the saw to cut the rawlplug off at floor level, as if you were filling a hole. Repeat this with all the holes you’ve drilled. Just as important as measuring the width of the carpet gripper for your doorway is measuring the gap between the floor and the bottom of your door. This is to ensure that you can close your door with the door bar in place. It goes without saying that if the door bar is taller than the gap, you will not be able to close your door. When you are ready, place the door bar where it needs to be. The ideal position is central over the threshold with the join of the two carpets in the middle of the bar. Using your pencil, mark the screw holes, then put the bar to one side and drill each of the holes. Step Four – Firmly screw the door bar into placeThe first step to fitting your new carpet is removing your old carpet and preparing your sub-floor. The sub-floor is just the foundation underneath the floor, usually, this is concrete or wood. If the sub-floor isn’t prepared properly, it will affect the way that your carpet lies and potentially ruin the overall finish.
