Feeling Nails Through Carpet

Stand up and place your weight on the squeaky spot.

Feeling nails through carpet.

Depending on the severity of the injury the nail can puncture a hole in the sole of your foot. They did come round and try to hammer the spikes down. If i walk through the doorway between a carpeted bedroom and a tiled bathroom my bare feet get pricked by nails on the edge of the carpet. It is very dangerous and i have cut my feet on them.

I too have the same problem with our stairs carpet you can feel the spikes through the carpet i did contact the carpet layers and they told me it was because carpets are not as thick as they used to be. The little nails on this exposed tack strip aren t at the 45 degree angle that they should be but are mostly pointing straight up. Once the carpet is stretched onto the pins they must be tapped over in a doorway tile junction to reduce the problem of feeling the tacks through the carpet. Which leads me to my next point pun.

And when i run my hand over the nails i don t feel the nails. Drive it straight down through the carpet with the hammer. You must have a low pile carpet to be feeling them come thru. These are the nails protruding from the carpet nail strip.

The worst area is where the carpet meets the laundry room where the carpet transitions to linoleum. I could live with that but i can also feel the spikes when walking up the stairs without shoes and that is really annoying and uncomfortable. This can make it difficult to walk or. Perhaps just bang them down with a hammer but the carpet may lift over time in this area as your builder has stated.

I cannot see the nails. But if significant pressure is put on the carpet like oh i don t know the body weight of an adult human that s. If you ve stepped on a nail it can be a painful experience. Hey all i just had some carpet put in and weirdly i can feel the spikes of the grippers when i stand at the edge of a room.
