Kedla Aluminium Carpet Edge Profile EX-F41 2.5 m

The Professional Finish for Carpet Edges and Doorways

 

The Kedla Aluminium Carpet Edge Profile (Profile EX-F41) is a specialized flooring accessory designed to deliver a neat, secure, and professional finish where a carpet ends and transitions to a lower, hard floor surface (like tile, laminate, or concrete). Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this profile is the popular Single Edge Naplock style. It features a wide, flat flange that secures to the subfloor and a toothed bar that grips and holds the edge of the laid carpet, preventing fraying and lifting. The finished profile provides a smooth, low-profile transition slope from the carpet down to the lower surface.

Provided in a standard 2.5-metre length, this profile is suitable for long runs across doorways or along exposed edges. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it boasts excellent natural corrosion resistance, ensuring its durability even when exposed to moisture during cleaning. It is competitively priced and highly valued by flooring installers and DIY homeowners for its ease of installation and ability to create a seamless, safe, and durable carpet edge.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. What is the maximum carpet thickness this profile can secure?

   • The F41 profile is designed for most standard domestic and light commercial carpet thicknesses, typically up to 8-10 mm including the underlay tuck.

2. How do I install the carpet into the Naplock bar?

   • The carpet must be stretched slightly, cut to size, and then the raw edge is tucked firmly into the toothed channel of the profile using a specialized tool (like a stair tool) or a rubber mallet to ensure it locks securely.

3. Does this profile come with fixing screws?

   • Fixing screws are usually not included and must be purchased separately. Use counter-sunk screws appropriate for your subfloor (e.g., wood screws for timber, plugs/screws for concrete).
