No comments so far. Obviously the thickness of the carpet has a bearing on whether the tacks will be a problem in a walk area. The edge of the tiles that are adjacent to the carpet is sharp and partially exposed so you have to make sure you don t step on a tile edge either. Once the carpet is stretched onto the pins they must be tapped over in a doorway tile junction to reduce the problem of feeling the tacks through the carpet.
The installers actually tried to leave the metal transition piece until my wife remembered paying for that silver. The tack strip is an inch from the silver metal piece. Press down on the carpet firmly without using a hammer so the tacks don t break or bend before they get hold of the carpet. The carpet is usually placed over a carpet pad.
But if significant pressure is put on the carpet like oh i don t know the body weight of an adult human that s when the nails come out and poke you. In multiple locations the tack strips are easily poking through the carpet.
