Whether you are stretching in a carpet or gluing it down, you need to use a carpet trimmer to cut around the edges to give the carpet a finished appearance.
While you can use a utility knife, the design of the carpet trimmer makes it much easier to cut the carpet’s pile and its backing with one easy movement.
It’s possible to adjust carpet trimmer height to accommodate any pile thickness. To ensure a smooth cut, use only a sharp carpet trimmer blade in your trimmer.
