How to Fasten Carpet Runners
- 1). Turn the carpet runner over so that the underside is exposed. Smooth it onto the floor so that it is laying flat with no bumps.
- 2). Apply adhesive tape along all edges of the carpet runner, about 1 inch from the edge. It is best to apply the tape in one continuous strip. If the tape breaks or becomes stuck on itself, simply cut off and start applying a new strip of tape where you left off.
- 3). Pull the paper protector off the tape to expose the adhesive
- 4). Lay the carpet down onto the desired area with the help of a friend.
- 5). Press down firmly at one end, working toward the opposite end, to adhere the adhesive to the flooring.
