Our experts highly recommend replacing your carpet grippers when installing a new carpet.
This is because the older the gripper rod is, the weaker the nails that hold the carpet and therefore the less effective it is in securing your flooring. As a result, carpets may become loose if fitted with worn grippers, damaging the underside of the carpet, and potentially causing trips.
However, the only exception is if your grippers are less than one year old, as they’re likely to be in good condition and work effectively. Again, if they’ve experienced damage, replace them before replacing your carpet for optimum performance.
