Replacing carpet
|
We are looking to replace our carpet and prefer to have a foam back both for comfort and non-slip. Saw Mark’s post on Shaw Nuwave backed carpet but it appears that is no longer in production. Received samples from Boatcarpet.com and even their “Premium Textured 22 oz.” carpet which are not foam backed and seems of low quality. Kanga, in Georgia (USA), makes a polyurethane foam rubber backing which they say they attach to carpet by Shaw, Marquis, Mohawk, and Engineered Floors. So far I have not found any vendor in the US that has such a product. Will continue search, but has anyone recently found a replacement carpet recently that they like?

One thought would those bathroom carpets. If you could figure out the manufacturer then maybe you could a larger size / custom cut. Those carpet are meant for wet environs. Just a thought. I use them in my salon [course my space is much smaller. Aras Sharki #163 1988

Have you considered roll neoprene. It comes in different colors and thicknesses. Supplier should be easy to track down. Think wet suites

Mike, Diane and I replaced our carpet about ten years ago,we went up the Airbase carpet mart in New Castle ,bought a short nap berber in beige ,used the old carpets as templates ,cut the new carpet maybe a 1/4" shorter all around ,allowing room for the binding of the edges. After cutting the pieces out we took them back and had them bind the edges. The new carpets fit as tight and as exacting as the original. We do not have foam backing ,I like the firm footing while underway ,if I had foam ,I would not want it very thick ,as it would not aid my balance on a rolling floor. The carpet still looks like new ,berber wears very well.
Our boat is in Haven Harbor north ,stopped by Haven Harbor south a few weeks ago ,but did not see your boat.
Stay Safe,

With the frustration of not finding a urethane foam backed broadloom carpet (apparently available in Canada, but not the US) I am considering a thick carpet without backing. My concern was about traction on the sole but if the carpet is heavy and penned in around the perimeter, slippage may not be an issue. And removing the attached pad constraint opens a world of options. Did you consider not binding the perimeter? Thanks Pat and all. Mike

Hi Mike,
Sorry that didn’t work out. Thanks for letting me know it is no longer available. Too bad, carpet has lasted well for us and still looks good.
When I replace ours, I did consider another option. It was a plastic ribbed backing. Very high quality but a lot more money. The site I looked at made everything (binding, leather pull up tabs, etc.) and shipped pre-cut and ready to lay down. I’ll see if I can find it.
With best regards,
Mark

Found it. The website I got a quote from is gone. Here is the brand: Aquamat. If you do a search for the brand, you can find retailers.

Mike, I considered binding absolutely necessary as we had berber carpet ,that wears very well ,but can unravel if not bound. I would think you would want to bound most carpet for the same reason and of course for appearance sake. As to traction, it has never shifted underfoot , probably because it fits tightly around the perimeter .We chose a short pile as it does not hide and hold sand etc. and can be easily vacuumed .
