Gripper Edge Carpet Tack Strip Launches Patented Breakthrough Self-Stick™ Tackless

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gripper Edge®, a leading manufacturer of carpet tack strip in North America, today announced the product launch of their patented self-stick™ method of installing carpet tack strip. Previously, most carpet tack strips were either nailed or glued down using hot melt or solvent based adhesives. These methods can damage a subfloor such as prefinished hardwood, which the homeowner may want to return to in the future. The solvent based adhesives require long wait times, in some cases up to 24 hours before completing the installation.
