Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the subfloor by ensuring it is clean, dry, and free from debris.
- Measure and cut the carpet gripper strips to size using standard gripper shears, allowing for a slight gap (typically 5-10 mm) between the gripper and the skirting board.
- Position the gripper strips around the perimeter of the room, with the teeth angled towards the skirting board.
- Secure the gripper strips to the subfloor using appropriate nails or adhesive, depending on the subfloor type and manufacturer recommendations.
- Lay the carpet over the grippers, ensuring it is hooked onto the teeth.
- Using a carpet kicker and a power stretcher, stretch the carpet firmly towards the wall and tuck it over the gripper.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use with most carpet types and thicknesses.
- Compatible with a wide range of carpet underlays.
- Designed for installation on both wooden and concrete subfloors.
Care:
Carpet grippers are installed as part of the flooring and do not typically require ongoing care. If the carpet needs to be removed for cleaning or maintenance, care should be taken not to damage the gripper teeth. For stubborn debris that may adhere to the teeth, a stiff brush can be used.
