Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most important tools for professional carpet installation?

Installers rely on a kit that usually includes a knee kicker, stretcher, seam iron, seam roller, and a quality trimmer. These tools help achieve tight stretch, strong seams, and clean cuts for a lasting install.

Which floor scraper should I choose for removing old flooring?

For small spaces or occasional use, a hand scraper works. Walk-behind scrapers cover larger areas quickly, while ride-on scrapers are best for heavy-duty removal or frequent demo work.

What tools are best for cutting vinyl plank (LVP/LVT) flooring?

A guillotine-style vinyl cutter makes clean, straight cuts without dust. For notches and curves, use a utility knife or specialized shear for precise shaping.
