Prelaid Carpet Rolls — Cut Carpet
When the positioning of preinstalled furniture
makes it impossible to remove existing carpet,
the carpet must be cut (see the figure at
right).
a. Use tape to mark where the track and
ramps will be positioned and make one
straight cut (
a ) in the middle of where
the base track will run (see the figure
to the right). This cut must be the same
length as the base track.
b. Make three shorter cuts ( b , c , and d )
corresponding to, but extending about
4 inches (10.2 cm) past the edges of the
end ramps. These cuts must be clean
because the carpet needs to be seamed
after the AVTrac has been installed.
c. Pull the carpet back to expose the floor
where the base track, the side ramps and
the end ramps will be secured.
NOTE: AVTrac is not designed to be installed under vinyl composite tile (VCT).
2. If necessary, remove the baseboard from
the bottom of the wall and mark where the
AVTrac will meet the wall.
