Carpet z bar install.

The adjoining ceramic tile butts up against this aluminum track but does not attach to it. Measure the width of the join between the ceramic flooring tiles and carpet. In essence it is a bar of metal that spans. Measuring 4 ft it matches up perfectly to a standard tack strip.

An easy option to properly finish a carpet installation at a door entrance or transition. Z bar is used in conjunction with tack strip with the tack strip installed directly on top of the z bar. The z bar is used in conjunction with the tack strip and should be installed directly over the z bar. Place the flat side of the z bar on top of the ceramic tiles.

Four foot z bar lengths match up perfectly with standard 4 foot tack strip. This transition strip is designed to join low pile carpet to a ceramic tile floor. Z bar creates a finished edge where stretch in carpet meets tile flooring. This style makes use of an invisible aluminum strip tucked under the edge of the carpet with upward protruding spikes that grip the carpet.

Reducer strips can be found at most hardware or home improvement stores and they can be found in a number of different shape and styles to provide a seamless carpet to tile transition. Stretch the carpet over the z bar with a knee kicker. Continue until your carpet is positioned over the bar and is stretched across the floor. Designed to eliminate your carpet edges from fraying vinyl floor edging from curling.

Personally i prefer the last type of connection and z bar transition. Cut the z bar to fit using a hacksaw. Place the spiked end of the kicker a few inches away from the bar on top of the carpet. If you are looking for more insurance for the edge of the carpet where it meets the tile a z bar is an optional security measure.
