Tools Needed for Carpet Seaming:

  • Seam cutter or utility knife
  • String chalk line
  • Straight edge
  • Seam sealant/sealer
  • Double-faced carpet tape or adhesive

Pro Tips for Seam Success

For seam installation, only use a water-based seam sealer and consider the following:

  • Use cuts taken from the same carpet roll and/or dye lot if possible
  • Do not use factory edges for seams
  • Allow for extra carpet if matching a pattern
  • Run seams lengthwise or parallel to traffic patterns
  • If possible, plan major seams so that natural sunlight does not shine directly across the seam
  • If possible, avoid seams that intersect perpendicular to doorways and entrances
