Once we've ordered your perfect carpeting, we will discuss the best installation options with you. Does Hollywood or Waterfall make more sense? What's the difference?

A Waterfall installation brings the carpet over the edge of the treat and meets the next treat without fastening it to the riser.

This install is more appropriate for thicker carpets that can be harder to rap around the edge of the tread.
