| West Chester, Ohio—In an effort to provide easier installation of broadloom next to hardwood or ceramic tile floors, Carpet Shims have come to the rescue.
“Everyone likes the look of beautiful hardwood and ceramic tile floors in a home or office,” said John Maddy, sales representative. “However, the installation of carpet next to these surfaces has been difficult because of the difference in the height of carpet and the hard surfaces.
“Until now,” he explained, “carpet installers have used a multitude of remedies to solve this problem. They include placing double tack strips next to the raised surface and then building a ramp out of materials such as float compound, a time consuming task which may break up; shake shingles, which are both expensive and not easy to use, or cardboard which may break down over time. Now, with Carpet Shims, the installation is made easy. The specifically designed Carpet Shim gives the carpet a natural raise so that it joins the hardwood or tile floor effortlessly to make a beautiful finished edge. | With Carpet Shims,” he added, “you simply cut the shim to length, nail and install the carpet. For the flooring store it means added revenue from the sales of Carpet Shims; no more recalls because of a ‘ramp gone bad,’ and happier clients because of the great, long lasting look achieved when using carpet shims. For the mechanic it means a quick installation; a better looking job and no hassles when different heights are encountered.”
Installer Friendly
Installation when using Carpet Shims follows an easy, five-step process, he noted. “All Carpet shims are 32 x 6-in. allowing a good fit, with little to no waste in most doorways, while providing a gentle taper from the tile/hardwood to the subfloor. All orders are neatly palletized in quantities of 800 Carpet Shims per pallet. All orders are pre-paid and discounted 10% for pre-payment.”
Carpet Shims “are delivered direct from our dock to yours within seven to 10 days of your order, depending on your location,” Maddy concluded.
