calmly ranted:
I recently removed a carpet from a hallway. The adjoining rooms still have
wall to wall carpet that will now terminate at a previously covered wood
(OWWM) threshold. How to I terminate the carpet (cut pile) butting up
against a threshold?
4 more common finishing touches:
1) Fold the edge of the carpet 1" under and tack it onto edge
tack-strip (longer tacks which are then hammered down so you
don't poke yourself) leaving a carpet edge.
2) Cover with flat aluminum edging and screw 'em down.
This gives you a flatter ramp effect.
3) Cover with C-shaped edging on tack strip.
This gives you a bumpy metal edge.
4) Make an undercut wooden moulding and tack the carpet down,
covering it with the moulding.
