When it comes to stapling down carpet, size does matter. The right staple size can make all the difference when installing carpet on your property. The final decision on what staple size you should use will depend on different factors, like the type of carpet you are installing, the type of gun you have, and the pad's quality.
If you are planning to install a carpet, it is a must that you choose the right size. This blog will walk you through what type of staples can be used for carpet installation and what gun to pair it with.
What Staples to Use for Carpet?
It is essential to use staples that are both sturdy and long enough to go through a layer of carpet, a layer of padding beneath it, and fit securely into the subfloor made of wood while installing carpet.
The standard size staples for carpet are the 19-gauge staples. When you choose the right staple size for your installation, make sure that it fits inside the magazine of the gun as well as the carpet pad.
Here at FastenerUSA, we recommend our 15/32" Crown Duo-Fast 75 and 3/16" Crown Duo-Fast 54 Carpet Staples series, which are ideal for carpet installation.
What Staple Gun to Use for Carpet Work?
To fasten carpets or floors, you can choose from three types of staplers - manual, electric, and pneumatic. However, it's not advisable to use manual staplers for flooring projects despite being economical as they require much physical power.
