Use and Care Manual

Carpet Gripper
This trim provides a clean transition
from carpet to another ooring type.
This item is ideal for installations that
utilize this decorative piece as your
threshold carpet tack strip. To install,
simply cut trim to t the transition
opening with a hack saw. The trim has predrilled holes to make
installation faster and easier. Secure trim to oor with screws
appropriate for your subooring material. Once the carpet
gripper is installed, you’re ready to continue with installing
carpet.
Carpet Trim
Select this trim prole when you’re
going from carpet to another ooring
type, and you’re going over the tops
of both materials. This trim is ideal for
surfaces that are not the same height
(as in going from carpet to tile). Cut
trim to t the transition opening using a hack saw. If needed,
gently le the cut edge to remove any rough spots. Install this
transition strip over both surfaces using the included fasteners.
Stair Edging
This prole provides an attractive
nish to your stair edges. It’s made
of heavy duty aluminum to ensure
stair edge protection while the uted
surface reduces the potential for
slipping. To install, measure the
desired tread width and cut to length with a hack saw. If
needed, gently le the cut edge to remove any rough spots.
Install this trim with using the included fasteners.
Seam Binder
Seam binders are the best trim
choice to transition between two
ooring types that are the same
height. Cut trim to t the transition
opening using a hack saw. If
needed, gently le the cut edge to
remove any rough spots. Install this transition strip over both
surfaces using the fasteners included.
Z-Bar
This profile is used to provide an
effective solution to use with stretch-
in carpet. It creates a finished edge
where the carpet transitions to
ceramic tile or other flat surfaces. It
secures and protects the exposed
edge of stretch-in carpet at doorways and other openings.
ZBar is installed in conjunction with tackstrip. Tuck folded end
under the tack strip and fold the carpet over the Zbar before
tapping down.
Hardwood Trims (Available in
Seam Binders and Carpet Trims)
We oer hardwood trims in two
proles – Carpet Trim and Seam
Binders. Select the prole you need
for your project based on the height
dierence of your two ooring
surfaces. If the surfaces are dierent heights, use a Carpet
Trim. If the material heights are the same, select a Seam
Binder. Measure the width of your transition and cut trim
to size using a saw. If needed, gently le any rough spots
where the trim was cut. Once cut, stain the trim if desired
to coordinate with your ooring palette. Once dry, install the
trim over the top of your ooring surfaces using the fasteners
included.

Maintenance and Cleaning Guide
Our trims are designed for years of maintenance free service and do not require any special maintenance. Clean them regularly using common household
cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning agents with hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid. Abrasive cleaners should not be used on anodized aluminum as they
may scratch the surface.
Exposed flooring edges can chip, crack, fray, or curl if left unprotected. Professional profile trims protect thresholds, floor
transitions, and other edges while providing a decorative accent to any project. Products are constructed from heavy duty
aluminum or hearty hardwood to provide a durable, attractive solution for the finishing touch to your flooring project.
