Carpet Cover Strips

Carpet Cover Strips

Our carpet cover strip is a metal single-edge trim that covers and holds down the raw edge of a carpet where it meets tile, laminate, vinyl or a doorway. Made from anodised aluminium, this metal carpet strip gives a clean, safe finish and protects the carpet edge from fraying and lifting — a tidy alternative to a raw or gripper-only edge.
