Feeling Nails Through Carpet

And when i run my hand over the nails i don t feel the nails.

Feeling nails through carpet. They did come round and try to hammer the spikes down. The worst area is where the carpet meets the laundry room where the carpet transitions to linoleum. The little nails on this exposed tack strip aren t at the 45 degree angle that they should be but are mostly pointing straight up. Drive it straight down through the carpet with the hammer.

I could live with that but i can also feel the spikes when walking up the stairs without shoes and that is really annoying and uncomfortable.

If you ve stepped on a nail it can be a painful experience. It is very dangerous and i have cut my feet on them. If i walk through the doorway between a carpeted bedroom and a tiled bathroom my bare feet get pricked by nails on the edge of the carpet. But if significant pressure is put on the carpet like oh i don t know the body weight of an adult human that s.

Hey all i just had some carpet put in and weirdly i can feel the spikes of the grippers when i stand at the edge of a room. You must have a low pile carpet to be feeling them come thru. Depending on the severity of the injury the nail can puncture a hole in the sole of your foot. In multiple locations the tack strips are easily poking through the carpet.
