So maybe someone else already posted about this and I missed it, but I want to save you from making the same mistake I made when installing new carpet. I bought the ACC kit through #dnp and the purchase process and delivery was fine, as was the quality of the carpet, itself. The problem I ran into was that I cut several holes in the carpet, following the pre-cut lines in the backing material. I pointed to one of those lines in the first pic. Problem is, if you cut along those lines, you’ll end up with holes that are way too big, as shown in the second photo.
I have no idea why ACC would make these pre-cut lines, but they resulted in several patch jobs in my brand new carpet. So … don’t assume those lines are in the right places, or are the right sizes. Lay the carpet in place the best you can, figure out where it needs to be cut, and take your time.
