CTS – Sloped Carpet Trim

The Magic of Ceramic Tool is our KnowledgeExperienceCustomer Service

Our metal trims accommodate tile, carpet, vinyl of all kinds, wood and stone flooring, helping designers and architects create a lasting, beautiful project, as well as making installation much easier for the contractor.

Sloped Carpet Trim

Our “sloped” metal carpet trim offers the same function as our other carpet to hard surface transitions, but with a sharper and slightly wider 3/8” reveal to prevent fraying at the carpet’s edge. This feature is more useful for distinct level changes in commercial construction – the installer does not have to flash the carpet to the top of the hard surface, which cuts down on labor. The anodized aluminum CTS gives varied level flooring transitions a clean look in less time.

From left to right: Anodized Aluminum (Clear), Champagne (CHA), Light Bronze (BZ), Medium Bronze (MB), Dark Bronze (DB) and Black (BLK). Not all finish options are stock items, some are custom colors. Please call for more information. What is Anodizing?
Anodized Trim Colors

  • Commercial floor applications where carpet meets a hard surface are suitable for CTC Carpet Trim installation
  • Transitions from tile to carpet in retail stores are the most common installations
  • It is ideal for commercial applications exposed to heavy foot traffic

HOW TO RADIUS CTC Trims and Transitions can easily be modified and installed in a radius or curve using the following directions as a guide. Using a tin snips or other appropriate tool, cut the notches out of perforations in leg. The number of open holes required is dependent on the size of the radius. The more perforations that are cut the more bendable the product becomes. (If bending the CTC Joint, you will need to cut the leg on both sides.) Then slowly bend the CTC Trim into the desired arc. CTC Transitions can be shaped for inside or outside radiuses. We strongly suggest the use of a template to pre-shape transitions strips prior to installation. This will prevent “kinking” of materials. A template can be created out of any sturdy sheet material such as plywood or masonite.
