Concrete stairs & carpeting question
As there is quite a sharp edge on the concrete stairs I have, I was
wondering if the is some sort of nosing with a rounded edge which would fit underneath the underlay before I lay the carpet on the stairs. I'm worries about this egde cutting through the underlay over time. TIA Sean |

TIA Sean Drill and screw some gripper rod near the top of the riser and to the back edges of the treads, and this will hold the carpet tightly enough to stop any major movement. Lay your underlay in between the rod so the carpet lies flat. Like this: riser |_ tread |
