Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t install your carpet or flooring properly, it may wrinkle or buckle over time, causing unsightly lumps and bumps that can also create a tripping hazard. To ensure your floors stay even, flat, and safe to walk on, you should follow the correct installation procedure and use the proper equipment.
For example, you may need a knee kicker to help you stretch the carpet into the right position, and carpet grippers and threshold strips to hold the edges in place.
Our blog features flooring installation guides and tips on how to fit carpet gripper, as well as instructions on how to lay carpet underlay to prepare for your flooring with gripper or adhesive. Following these tips should help your carpet to look and function exactly as it should.
Taking good care of your carpet after the installation is also essential to avoid damaging it. Check out our guide on how to ensure the longevity of your flooring for more advice on keeping your carpet or alternative flooring in great condition for as long as possible!
The exact accessories to buy with a new carpet depend on the type of carpet or flooring, where it will be installed, and who is installing it.
For example, the type of subfloor and underlay will affect how you can secure the carpet. Additionally, if a professional is fitting the carpet for you, they should have their own tools, but if you plan to fit the underlay and carpet yourself, then you will need to buy the necessary equipment alongside the fixtures.
Along with underlay for comfort and insulation, common carpet accessories to buy include:
- A tape measure and gaffer tape
- Carpet gripper rods (with tacks or nails)
- Carpet adhesive spray or adhesive tape
- Carpet joining trim (metal transition strips)
- A carpet knife/trimming blade or shears
- A knee kicker and/or floor roller
These items should help you complete your flooring installation with a neat and durable finish. If you need more advice on which specific equipment you need to fit a specific type of flooring, you can ask a professional, such as a local floor fitter, or the team at Carpet Underlay Shop.
Carpet adhesive spray and carpet gripper tape are often used to stick underlay to the subfloor and secure flooring to underlay as an alternative to gripper rods with nails or tacks.
In addition to a range of carpet adhesives designed to fix grippers and edging trims in place, we also stock carpet underlay tape and high-tack sprays, which are designed to help you join strips of underlay together and neatly secure the seams around the edges and corners.
These products help to keep your flooring elements aligned, even, and stable, so you can enjoy your new flooring for many years to come.
When you purchase flooring or underlay from us, you can find installation advice in the product description. This will tell you which items you should use to lay the product with the best results, so you can then order these accessories from our website, too.

Carpet door bars, also known as threshold strips, offer a professional finishing touch to join two areas of flooring together, typically in doorways. These bars or plates need to be installed carefully to ensure they protect the carpet edges without causing a tripping hazard.
As stockists of carpet trims, you can find all the edging materials you need in our online shop, and follow our guide on how to fit carpet door bars for a secure and clean finish.
