What is a "carpet nail"?
A carpet nail is a small, thin nail used to secure carpeting or rugs to the floor. It has a sharp, slender shaft and a flat head, which helps it stay hidden once inserted into the carpet. Carpet nails are often used in areas where the carpet needs to be tightly secured, such as along edges or in high-traffic areas. The nail's design ensures it holds the carpet firmly without damaging it, and the flat head allows the nail to be discreet, providing a clean finish once installed.
Examples
The installer used carpet nails to keep the edges of the rug securely in place.
When laying down new carpeting, make sure to use carpet nails for a tight fit.
