Do you use quarter round with carpet.

Some put the base molding down first then carpet others put the carpet down then base molding and sometimes base shoe but i find it a bit unsightly. Quarter round is inappropriate base shoe is the proper stuff but not with carpet. In this video i share how to hand trim plush carpet to the dreaded quarter round molding in an apartment. Quarter round is used 95 in most flooring installations except carpeting for a nice clean and finished look.

Unfortunately i do need quarter rounds some areas of the walls are pulling away from the floor too drastically for the carpet to cover and the layers of paint build up are very noticeable without them. Some like it without it and that is fine also if you can get away without it but for some reason it always looks like something is missing. You get a lot better look and carpet is eaiser to install. If the mark from the quarter round shows i leave it up to the home owner if they want me to reinstall it.

Can you eliminate them all together usually there is no need for quarter round with carpet. Fastening quarter round into the base board and the floating floor â â â â â another mistake is nailing or gluing the quarter round onto the floating floor.
