When was the Great Wall of China built?

Asked by Wiki User

The Great Wall of China was built from the 3rd century B.C.E to the 17th century AD, in order to prevent the Mongols from entering and invading China.

The Great Wall is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 200 BC - 220 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.

Walls were being built in order to protect the Chinese empire as early as the 7th century BC. However, the collection of walls which have become known as The Great Wall of China were mainly built from 220 to 206 BC.

What is wall to wall carpeting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the carpet that you are installing. If the carpet is a hessian or action backed carpet then traditionally it is installed over a separate underlay with grippers around the edge of the room. Grippers are the nasty spiked things that everyone catches their foot on! The carpet is attached at one side of the room and then stretched across and attached to the grippers on the opposite side. If the carpet is felt or foam backed then it should be installed directly to the subfloor provided it is of a reasonable standard. Felt or foam backed carpets are traditionally fixed on double sided tape or spray adhesive.

Should you be installing a carpet in a contract location then the carpet and underlay should be installed using a double stick method. The underlay is stuck to the subfloor and then the carpet stuck to the underlay.
