Stretch-in installation provides softness and is common in residential bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways. Direct glue-down carpet has a firmer feel and lower profile. It may be used for carpet tile, basements, offices, or rolling traffic. Double-glue installation bonds cushion to the substrate and carpet to the cushion. The carpet construction, backing, room use, moisture, and manufacturer approval determine the appropriate method.
