Carpet Gripper

Carpet grippers are slim strips of wood or other durable materials that play a crucial role in securing wall-to-wall carpets. They are installed around the edges of a room, with one side of the strip nailed or glued to the subfloor and the other side featuring small angled pins or teeth. These pins grip the backing of the carpet, holding it taut and securely in place while preventing it from shifting or wrinkling. This method creates a clean, smooth appearance and helps extend the carpet's lifespan by reducing wear from movement.
