Backward Carpet Trim

In applications where tile/hard surface flooring already exists, our backwards carpet trim is a metal transition that offers protection from a fraying carpet as well as keeping the tile edge from chipping. We designed these anodized aluminum profiles to butt up to the existing tile, wood, or stone surface by installing the metal leg under the carpet side, with the 3/8" wide reveal transitioning over the carpet edge for ultimate protection.

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.
