who has had new carpet installed? QUESTION???

[seabeyond]

when getting new carpet, are you suppose to wait a day before putting heavy furniture on it?

discussion between hubby and i. i wouldn't know how to google that; so, i am anxiously waiting for opinions from duers

1. Why? Is it glued down?

Hubby used to work as a carpet installer. Never heard of waiting.

3. perfect. thanks. we have had carpet twice in our marriage and i dont recall

waiting. went right on

vacuumed it all, to get the little piece and work out some of the smell. but i recall furniture went right back on.

13. By the time you get an answer to your question

A day will have gone by and the discussion will be moot.

FWIW we carpeted our master bedroom 5 or 6 years ago and put a ginormous sleigh bed on it the same day. The bed is so heavy it can't be moved so if it did any permanent damage to the carpet, TS. We'll never know.

14. bah hahaha

"if it did any permanent damage to the carpet, TS. We'll never know."

you and i, we think alike. lol

15. Another vote for no--I asked my SO who sells and occasionally installs thestuff. nt

[seabeyond]

16. i think we have enough in the know on this thread,.... i can comfortably say,

i was right, he was wrong. bah hahaha. lol, thank your SO.
