Where I can buy this kind power strecher?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

It’s from a Canadian company called kneeless

[@hiadd5530]

Do you prefer carpet or vinyl flooring in the basement? Thanks

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Carpet seems to be more popular because of the warmth and cozy factor / I personally like carpet in my basement for the same reason 😀

[@tracykey9227]

Provided you keep a "dry" basement, with no water intrusion, carpet is a better choice. Keep it further dry in the basement by using dehumidifiers during the more himid seasons and dont let the air become "stale" down there or mold will start to grow; warm and humid spaces are perfect breading grounds for mold, so maintain some type of ventilation, even if its just good fans moving air.

[@wtjarrard]

What is average cost of labor and materials to install carpet by SF?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Depends on state / city / county

[@whisper9162]

We just had water proofing system put into our floor and can't use any tack strips on the outer wall. What would be a good alternative

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

You can use tack strips they just cannot be nailed in they have to be glued! Watch either how to install carpet over marble or how to install carpet over ceramic on my channel and that’s how it has to be done👍👍👍

[@BrianStanley-z2r]

You can just nail tack strip into the concrete? Or am I missing something?

[@tracykey9227]

Yes, you do; if the yack board nails are sharp and aren't "blunted" on the ends, most nail in tight with a good solid smack on their heads.

[@Papastomper]

Nothing put over the concrete floor to stop sweating or moisture from the concrete floor?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

that under pad have a vapour barrier on it!

[@tinybubbles3724]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet We are worried about this too. My basement is dry but the standard vapor barrier in the pad is all I need? does the barrier side go up or down?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

@@tinybubbles3724 We have ours facing up! or on top ....in my videos, the gold top barrier is always visible! thanks for the Question!

Is this the A4780?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

[@Mo-my6en]

Wow , do you install solo

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I have a Great Apprentice that works with me!

[@sanjivraj9160]

Don't you need a subfloor like dricore before installing the carpet in concrete

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

No
