Had to pick between tack strip and glue down for a 12x14 Berber job in Mesa, went with glue down and my knees are thanking me | Carpet Installers - Opinions Matter
my knees are thanking me" is doing a lot of work here, but glue down on a 12x14 is not some huge deal either way. Tack strip is more work on the pull and kick sure, but we're talking one small room, not a whole house. Unless you got bad knees already I would not sweat the choice that much.
