Carpet grippers-we can't lay carpets without them.
There is a British Standard that grippers are to be set at to ensure maximum stretch and hold of your new carpet.

Carpet Gripper is an essential purchase when laying a new carpet and underlay, ensuring your carpet stays securely in place while creating a smooth and professional finish!
As well as this, they are also?affordable, suitable for various carpet types, quick & simple to install and also ensure accurate carpet fitting.
Grippers are rods of plywood and resin, with nails set into them at an angle. They are generally 1.5m long x 2cm wide.
You position them close to the edge of the carpeted area, beyond the underlay.?
Position them with the nails pointing towards the wall or door bars. The little nails sink their teeth into the backing of the carpet and help to hold it in place using tension. Incredibly simple and effective, and very little to them.
Variations come depending on the type of carpet you're working with. Choose the correct one. Make sure no one with bloody toes.
Make sure that they have a bevel edge. This will make it easy to create a pleasing roll-edge appearance?on the finished carpet. You can also abut them with the skirting board without the need to use scotia beading.?
