A selection of high-quality wood carpet grippers

We currently supply wood carpet grippers by three of the best industry brands, including:

Royale

These are high-quality carpet grippers, cut from resin-bonded plywood with a five-ply (6mm) thickness. Pre-prepared with specially tempered nails, they offer superior holding power – for all types of carpet – and are suitable for use in both domestic and commercial environments.

Royale Professional

Royale 'black' professional carpet grippers are made from premium birch plywood, with extra-long pins that are pre-driven along their length. As such, they’re the perfect wood grippers for use with heavy reinforced backed carpet and thicker underlays. Each pack contains 500ft (152.4 metres) of gripper rod, for just £59.99.

Royale DIY Grippers

Available in both a 40ft (12m) and 60ft (18m) packs. These are ‘DIY’ wood gripper rods come in easy to install 76cm length pieces and come already pre-nailed for hammering down & pins already fixed.

All of the gripper rods in this range feature ‘wood’ nails. That means, they are specifically designed for use with a wooden subfloor and can be easily fixed onto timber floorboards.

They’re also very easy to install. Simply fix the wood grippers down using a hammer, with the pins facing away from the installation, and stretch the underlay and carpet over the pins for a tight fit. For extra tips and guidance, you can also find a detailed step-by-step guide on ‘how to fit carpet grippers’ in our blog.

Which wood grippers should I buy?

This depends on several factors, including:

• the type and thickness of your underlay
• the type and thickness of your carpet
• your budget

All of the wood grippers in our range are suitable for use with the majority of underlays and carpets. However, for most projects, we usually recommend using the Plushwalk 12mm Carpet Underlay in conjunction with either the Royale Wood Gripper or the Royale Prestige Wood Gripper.
