Carpet Installation

1. How to calculate wastage for carpet installation?

Generally speaking, we would include around 5% extra of the total carpet quantities as wastage for plain color of carpet tiles and wall-to-wall carpet under the condition of a plain rectangular or square-shaped floor plan; for the axminster carpet, we would include around 10~20% of wastage for it but it also depends on the repeat size of each carpet pattern and the shape of floor plan.

Whether there is minimum order quantities for Axminster carpet or the possibility to choose specific color for manufacturing depends on the actual quantities needed by clients and it varies cases by cases. However, there are no minimum order quantities for handmade carpet. Also, since handmade carpet is custom-made to each and every client, the pattern, color chosen and size required are totally up to clients.

4. Would the installation charges be the same for day-time and night-time?

No, the starting time for night-time carpet installation is from 6pm, however, the finalized quotation varies from cases to cases and therefore it is highly recommended for clients to consult our staff for night-time installation charges.

5. How to solve the problem of the height difference between the carpet and connecting floor?

Carpet Cleaning

5. What is the difference between Chung’s carpet cleaning machine and counterparts’ carpet cleaning machine?

Chung’s has purchased the vapor machine from the US to dry clean the carpet, it possesses 4 horsepower. It first scrubs the carpet under great steam force, then uses the technique of vacuuming sucking all moistures from the wet carpet at the same time, thus making the cleaning process three-in-one to enhance the cleaning effect. However, comparing to other cleaning machines, they normally use wax-polishing machine to clean carpet and such machine does not dry-clean the carpet at the same time, thus trapping the water in the carpet base and deteriorating the life span of the carpet.

6. Will there be cleaning service at home?

Yes, there will be.

7. Will there be to-the-site collecting and returning carpet for such cleaning service?

There will be to-the-site collecting and returning carpet as long as it is a carpet rug. Yet, it needs at least 7-10 working days (depends on the weather that time) after collecting your carpet for returning.
