The Bedding Mill Dual Purpose Standard Carpet Grippers (1066.75m) are designed for homeowners and professional installers seeking a secure and professional carpet finish. They offer excellent holding power across various subfloors, ensuring carpets remain taut and smooth, preventing common issues like rippling. A key benefit is their dual-purpose design, reducing the need for multiple gripper types. However, they are intended for domestic and light commercial use, not heavy industrial applications.

The dual-purpose design means these grippers work effectively on both wooden and concrete subfloors, simplifying the installation process as you don't need different types of grippers for different floor surfaces.
They are designed for domestic and light commercial use. For very high-traffic areas, consider a heavy-duty gripper rod specifically designed for such environments.
Typically, gripper rods are placed parallel to the walls, about 2-5mm from the skirting board. The exact distance may vary slightly based on the thickness of your carpet.
If the gripper rods are still securely fixed and the pins are in good condition after removing the old carpet, they can often be reused for a new installation.
Each gripper rod in this pack is 1.5 meters long.
Gripper rods are typically secured using nails or screws. For wooden subfloors, standard nails or screws work well. For concrete subfloors, you will need to use appropriate anchors or plugs.
Ensure the carpet is correctly stretched onto the pins. Check if the gripper rods are securely fastened to the subfloor and if the pins are positioned correctly to grip the carpet backing.
Re-stretch the carpet and ensure the edge is firmly tucked into the pins all along the gripper rod. Verify the initial placement of the gripper rod was close enough to the wall.
Use appropriate masonry nails or screws with wall plugs/anchors designed for concrete. Ensure the subfloor is free from dust and debris before fixing.

Care:
These grippers are a permanent installation and do not require ongoing care. Ensure the carpet remains firmly seated on the pins. If re-carpeting, the old gripper rods can typically be reused if still in good condition, or removed and replaced as needed.
