A cure for seam peaking?????

This massive room on the third story presented a little bit of a challenge. All the carpet had to be cut the short way to get into the room. Thus, every seam has natural light and tons of it coming across. All seams are constructed with thermoplastic sealer and premium tape. Some conventional some kool glide. Seam board was also used in construction. Adding additional stretches to the length of the carpet seems to help bring down some of the profiling/peeking! What do you think?

With so many light sources it is damn near impossible to make a seam invisible. You made it look easy. As always, excellent work

Thank you for the compliment! You are correct. Lots of shadowing and excessive amounts of light.

Looks good. That carpet is so tight, if it came off the strip it would roll up like a window blind.

Some carpet just shows seams more than others. In my experience softer carpet shows/peaks on the seams. If you ran the carpet vertical with that big window it would definitely hide better. Though, sometimes you can't avoid it. CFI/CRI states seams should be ran vertical to natural light and avoid running horizontal. Also, thermal plastic seam sealer on both edges helps quite a bit

The thermoplastic sealer was a game changer for me once I was taught how to use. Thanks for watching.

I have had good luck with peaking by running a 6 inch iron.

I used to when I started always run a 6 inch iron! I was so scared of problems. I had some issues with tape leaving heat Mark real bad. Stopped using it. Do you recommend a tape for the 6 inch?

Stix S 60. Seems to be the only tape I have access to. Not a lot of folks running a6-inch, I guess.

To add to that don't forget that it's you versus the inspector at all times, if he pulls up and sees the most expensive tape on the market holding it together then what's he gonna say lol, you can tell everyone to f#$% off at that point
