It will help ensure your project is a success. It will also help you minimise mistakes and keep frustrations to a minimum. Carpet grippers are long pieces of plywood, usually 1.5m long x 2cm wide. They have sharp angled nails in them that are designed to hold the carpet in place. If you have just laid your flooring and are looking to change it, then you should be fine to reuse the one you already have down.

Use this off-cut from the last sheet in the first row to start the second row and carry on in the same way. This reduces waste and also helps by ensuring the joints are staggered. Position one lip of the Z-Bar flat on the hard surface with the other lip flat where the carpet will be (or is). Hammer nails into the lip of the Z-bar to hold in place.Now, on to actually removing the gripper… Starting at one end of the room, use a chisel to get underneath the gripper and gently hammer along the length of the gripper to loosen it up. You should then be able to lever the nails/adhesive loose and remove them from the floor to make space for new ones. Gripperrods took over from the old fashioned way of fitting “ring and pin”. Gripperrods are actually the brand name developed by Interfloor a plywood section.

Use the saw to cut the rawlplug off at floor level, as if you were filling a hole. Repeat this with all the holes you’ve drilled. A forewarning: Always wear safety goggles. Carpet gripper rods are covered in sharp nails and pins that can easily become airborne when levered off the floor. Be careful, it’s not worth losing an eye to a carpet gripper. It’s also a good idea to wear gloves; the nails and pins are sharp and you don’t want to cut yourself. Measure the height and depth of each stair to give you the length before multiplying by the width. This will give you the area of each step. As well as arranging the standard fitting service, we can also arrange for the fitter to uplift and dispose of your existing floor covering. For a small fee, the fitter will take up and dispose of your old flooring before they fit your new one. That’s one less thing to worry about!

Not only does it affect how your flooring looks and feels, it can also increase its longevity. It can also help to significantly reduce your energy bills by trapping heat and increasing insulation. The first step is choosing the correct door bar for your needs. There are many different types, and in the case of laying carpet, it has to be suitable for carpet. In other words, you don’t want to buy a single-edged bar which is used when carpeting one room and another room in vinyl. The benefits of installing them are to ensure that where the flooring in both rooms meets (the doorway) is held securely. They are essential for safety. Without the bars, the rough edges of the two carpets would be seen and would pose a huge risk of tripping. In time, when continuously walking through the doorway, the carpet will fray and wear down. Not to mention where the carpets meet in the doorway would look unsightly.

You should always use new gripper rods when you install a new carpet. Old gripper rods can become weak, water damaged and hammered out of shape when you install and remove them. Meaning they won’t hold your carpet in place effectively. Get in touch

Here’s how you do it… place your gripper rod on the floor and make a mark with a pencil underneath where the nails are lined up with the floor. After you’ve marked up the space for your carpet gripper, you’ll need to drill a hole and insert a dowel rod. You can then use the dowel rod as a rawl plug for the carpet gripper’s nails. Once you’ve neatly inserted the dowel rod, you just have to hammer the nails in, and you’re done. A perfect installation that will hold your new carpet nicely. How to remove carpet gripper? With the holes drilled, insert the end of your dowel rod into a hole. Make sure it’s a secure fit, because the dowel rod is going to act as a rawlplug, giving the nails of the gripper rod something to sink into. They are fixed around the perimeter of the room and are used to help tension the carpet and hold it in place – this stops the carpet and underlay from moving and rippling. Parents don't always want to screw catches or other fixtures directly into the door or skirting board so the Door Gripper presents the perfect alternative. Using your pencil, draw marks on the floor where the nails are positioned – in other words, exactly where you want your gripper rod installed.
