Carpet in the dining area

The floor area under the dining table is also subject to particular stress. For years- and pushed chairs, upset wine glasses and immature table manners of the little ones inevitably leave their mark on a carpet. A colour-coordinated hard floor covering such as parquet, with which you underlay the dining area, makes life as a host much easier for you here.

In this case, laying the carpet requires filigree cutting work. The carpet has to have a parquet,, Enclave” carpet in the dining area. It will be easier, if you arrange a butt joint of two carpet rolls exactly in line with one of the transition strips. Then you only have to cut out an area the size of your dining area from one of the rolls.

You can save yourself the cutting altogether, if you opt for carpet tiles instead of rolled goods (Picture below) decide. You should cut the base rails of the transition strips exactly to the tile grid and screw them to the screed. You then have to adjust the width of the first and last parquet plank evenly, but what easier, is more accurate and visually appealing than unsquare-cut carpet tiles.

Full-surface gluing of the rolled goods or tiles is our unconditional recommendation here as well (see page 38 above). When laying the parquet, of course, you must not under any circumstances install footfall sound insulation (here PE foam) forget. In this case, it has an additional task, to compensate for the difference in height of the installed base rail to the screed and to guarantee the parquet floorboards an even surface.

This solution of the "dining island" offers you a certain flexibility with regard to later change requests. That requires, that you lay the carpet tiles, the parquet cut-out corresponds to the tile grid and you process a parquet with glueless click technology. Then you can change the hard covering at any time without much effort and even fill the cut-out with carpet tiles again.

The Transition Bars (both parts) miter cleanly. Attention: The colors of the plastic base rails stand for different covering thicknesses.
