Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. What is the best way to secure this wide strip to the subfloor?

   • Due to its width, it should be secured at regular intervals (approx. every 30-40 cm) using counter-sunk screws through the pre-drilled holes. Use screws appropriate for your subfloor (concrete or timber).

2. Can this strip be used to join a thick carpet to a thin carpet?

   • No. This is a flat cover strip designed for equal-height floors. Joining different-height carpets requires a Reducer Strip or a double-edge naplock.

3. How do I cut this heavy-duty profile?

   • For the best result, use a chop saw with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade. A fine-toothed hacksaw can also be used, but will require more effort.
