Carpeting can provide insulation but may be too difficult for many to lay themselves.

  1. Measure the length of the edges of the room. Transfer these measurements to the gripper rods. Cut the gripper rods. Nail the gripper rods into the floor at the edge of the rooms around the entire perimeter of the room, make sure the nails are only about eight inches apart. When all the gripper rods are nailed down measure for the padding. (Reference 1)

  2. Roll out the padding on the floor. Make sure that you get close to the edge of the gripper rods but not too close. If you need to cut the padding you can do this with the carpet knife. (Reference 1)

  3. Staple the padding to the floor. Using the staple gun, make sure that the staples are about eight inches apart. This will secure the carpet so it will not slide. Do not use glue, this will cause the padding to dry rot much quicker than normal. (Reference 2)
