Got a work order from one of my prop manager clients today:
"Tenant tells me the carpet spikes are poking through the
carpet where you enter the kitchen. Can you please mend
somehow, even if only flattening them or something.
Carpet is poked at this place anyway so no need to spend
heaps. "
I'm guessing there is a tackless strip behind the transition and the carpet is worn - what would you do? I'm thinking maybe adding a heavy strip of glue or gluing a couple of layers of jute backing strips across the area to build it up? Haven't seen the job yet.
I don't have a power stretcher, just a knee kicker. It is also quite common here to have a tackless strip and no transition, butted right up to a tiled area.
I just thought this would be a good example for the Toolbox and to give me a few possibilities before I go there.
