Can i attach carpet transation strips to concrete.

Our flooring specialist ron demonstrates and explains what it takes to install a carpet tack strip on a basement concrete floor. The floor plank that touches the t molding should most closely match the color of the t molding for the smoothest transition so dig around in your boxes of flooring planks until you find one that matches best. Step 1 place the transition strip half over the edge of the carpet and half over the other flooring. Tack strips are sometimes called tackless strips because they eliminate the need for using individual carpet tacks to hold carpeting to the floor.

Apply a 1 4 inch wide line of construction adhesive to the bottom of the transition strip where it will rest on the concrete. You can use small concrete screws to complete the task. Step 3 press the transition firmly in place. Allow it to cure per the adhesive manufacturer s recommended time before allowing traffic on the floor.
