Carpet? What, where, how???
I will be starting my interior soon. I have already covered it all with Second Skin vibration dampener and need to lay some carpet. What is the best carpet,, cut pile, or loop pile? How to measure, where to buy and any other tips to stay out of trouble.

That stuff can be expensive. I saw some that ran $150.00 a linear foot.

Re: Carpet? What, where, how???
yourautotrim dot com sells a decent choice of carpeting. Just make sure you look at the differences between whether it is intended for glue down applications or can be used with retainers.

Re: Carpet? What, where, how???
Or you can go retro like we did in the 70's, I'm talkin' orange SHAG or maybe some ethnic print indoor-outdoor with rubber backing; just take it out and hose it down, great if you are near the beach or desert.
