carpeted bottom stair meets hard wood flooring

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.52 PM

I have just had my hallway fitted with a solid wood flooring, it is fitted flush up to the bottom step of the stair case. Will a carpet fitter still be able to carpet my stairs and how will the carpet finish when it meets the wood floor? Thank you for your time

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hello , Ideally the floor fitter should have left a 10mm gap around all edges off the floor, Normally gripper rods are nailed to the bottom of the riser (up around 5mm) and the carpet tucked neatly in place and sometime stapled also leaving a flush finish . This should be no problem for you carpet fitter.

you will have problems, with your hall, 10ml gap all the way around, or it may pop up
