Question

Accepted Answer

Painting before new carpet is generally recommended. It reduces the risk of paint splashes on the new floor, makes clean‑up easier and allows paint fumes to dissipate before installation. It also helps achieve a neater junction where skirting meets carpet. Ensure paint is fully dry before laying carpet and remove masking and tapes carefully to avoid lifting edges. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. For colour selection, availability and timing, contact BCC Taren Point showroom on 02 9526 6421 or visit Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point and check a current map/navigation service for directions.
