Carpet trims: secure the edge and coordinate the transition
Select a carpet trim for the actual carpet build-up and adjoining finish. The exposed edge needs a coordinated fixing and transition rather than a strip chosen only by visible width.
Selection considerations
Record carpet thickness, backing and any underlay. Measure the neighbouring finished level and check whether the trim is installed before or after the covering. Include door swings and wheeled routes in the review.
Compare anchoring geometry and the intended edge restraint. Coordinate accessible-route requirements with the project designer instead of assuming every trim is suitable. Keep the carpet and trim specification together so a later covering change does not leave an incompatible transition in place.
Before you specify or order
- Record carpet and underlay build-up
- Measure the adjacent finish
- Coordinate edge restraint and route geometry

Common question
Can an old trim be reused after replacing carpet?
Only after checking the new build-up, attachment and final transition geometry.
