Kedla Aluminium Carpet to Floor Edge Cover 32 mm Wide x 0,825 m: EX-D40 Profile Low-Profile Naplock Transition

Low-Profile Naplock for Carpet-to-Hard Floor Reductions

 

The Kedla Aluminium Carpet to Floor Edge Cover (Profile EX-D40) is an essential flooring accessory designed for creating a clean, secure, and low-profile transition from a carpeted area to an adjacent hard floor surface (such as vinyl, linoleum, or thin tiles). Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this profile is a robust, low-sloping Naplock (gripper tooth) strip. It features a secure toothed channel to lock the raw edge of the carpet, preventing fraying, and a gentle, sloped ramp that ensures a safe, non-trip junction with the lower floor.

Provided in a full 2.5-metre length, this profile is ideal for continuous use across wide doorways or open transition areas. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it boasts excellent natural corrosion resistance, ensuring its durability and clean appearance even in high-traffic commercial areas or damp residential settings. It is highly valued by installers for its simplicity and the professional, finished look it provides.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Does this profile accommodate the carpet underlay?

   • Yes. The carpet must be laid over the underlay, stretched, and then the cut edge of the carpet (without the underlay) is secured into the toothed Naplock channel.

2. Is this profile suitable for high-pile carpet?

   • It is best suited for low- to medium-pile carpets. For very thick, high-pile carpets, a wider or higher-clearance transition profile might be needed to allow sufficient space for tucking.

3. How is this profile fixed to the subfloor?

   • The profile has pre-drilled holes for counter-sunk screws. Use the appropriate screw type for your subfloor (e.g., masonry screws for concrete, wood screws for timber).
