The wall-to-wall carpet will be installed over the existing pad. This carpet is for the exhibit at Fulton Mansion State Historic Site. These new reproduction floor coverings are necessary because in 2017 the wall-to-wall carpets reproduced for Fulton Mansion in 1983 were ruined by terrible flooding that occurred during Hurricane Harvey. Wilton Wool carpets are produced in 27” or 36” widths with matching borders, to be fitted on-site for installation in each room.
