Quick overview. Small upstairs extension means our landing and stairs need re-carpeting. Currently same carpet throughout entire upstairs so will be matching like for like. It's a long landing, leading into an open mezzanine/office area which means there are two options when installing. Had two people around to quote, both seemed good, but both suggested difference methods, which leaves us unsure of the best route so keen for some advice:
Method one:
• Turn the carpet to the longest length and run as a single piece (no join)
• This means the carpet will run the wrong way on the stairs, as it's wool, it means the weave will open up as it wraps over the face of the stairs
= The person quoted, and said there is no good place to join the carpet on the landing, and whilst it's not ideal, running the carpet the other way is the lesser of two evils
Method two:
• Join the carpet going into the mezzanine as it's not as high traffic as the rest of the landing
• Means the stairs can be run the correct way
= This person said the join wouldn't be noticeable, and strong from hot joining, and the stairs won't prematurely wear
What method would people suggest is the best?
Thanks in advance.
