This is a carpet to tile transition. The customer just installed some new stone tile and needed me to do the transition for him. The carpet is cut several inches longer than it needs to be here. I'm going to trim it back, remove the ugly metal strip and then install tack strip into the concrete and finally trim, stretch and tuck in the carpet. |

This is a basic carpet to floor transition. The tile is relatively thin so no shims were necessary. First we checked the tack strip to be certain that is secure, then we trimmed the carpet padding, then we cut the carpet to be the right size. Finally we do a little carpet stretch and then tuck it in. |

A good carpet to tile transition will last for as long as the carpet. If the carpet is cut too short there will be a gap between the carpet and the floor. If the carpet is cut too long then the carpet may become loose.
