Materials You’ll Need

• Lifeproof carpet of your choice
• Measuring tape
• Utility knife
• Carpet adhesive
• Carpet padding
• Seam roller
• Knee kicker
• Staple gun
• Trimming tools
• Vacuum cleaner

Step 1: Prepare the Room

Begin by clearing out the room and removing any existing carpet or flooring. Ensure the floor is clean, dry, and level before proceeding with the installation.

Step 2: Measure and Cut

Measure the dimensions of the room and cut the Lifeproof carpet accordingly, leaving a few extra inches on each side for trimming. Use a sharp utility knife for precise cuts.

Step 3: Install Carpet Padding

Lay down the carpet padding and secure it to the floor using carpet adhesive. This padding will provide comfort and insulation, enhancing the overall feel of the room.

Step 4: Lay the Lifeproof Carpet

Carefully position the Lifeproof carpet on top of the padding, ensuring it fits snugly against the walls. Use a knee kicker to stretch the carpet and remove any wrinkles.

Step 5: Seam and Trim

If your room requires multiple carpet pieces, use a seam roller to join them seamlessly. Trim any excess carpet with trimming tools for a clean and polished look.

Step 6: Secure the Edges

Use a staple gun to secure the edges of the carpet along the walls. This step will prevent any shifting or movement of the carpet over time.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

Once the carpet is in place, run a vacuum cleaner over the entire surface to remove any debris or loose fibers. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your newly upgraded family media room!
