The Hammered Carpet Gripper (approximately 1-3/8 in. wide x 144 in. long) is a durable aluminum strip with teeth designed to secure the edges of stretch-in carpeting. It creates a finished edge and prevents carpet from fraying or curling, especially where carpet meets another flooring surface like vinyl, tile, or concrete. The "hammered" finish provides a textured, decorative appearance in finishes such as silver, pewter, satin brass, or hammered gold.
