GHENT, Ky., Feb. 14, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- It's a challenge for every installer: finding a fast, clean and affordable way to match a carpet's edge to the higher level of hardwood, tile or thick stone flooring.
The flooring professionals and engineers at Carpet Shims in Ghent, Kentucky, have developed a quick and easy solution for this common challenge and have named it the SuperShim(tm).
The two-piece SuperShim made of engineered resins with natural fibers offers a consistent rise for those hard transitions, with a gentle taper from 3/32" to 1" in height. The gradual 24" rise is both comfortable to the step and virtually undetectable when the carpet is laid. The generous 48" length allows an installer to line up the SuperShim along a doorway, fireplace, or sliding glass door in less than a minute, creating a clean and professional edge that will increase the life of the carpet and hard surfaces for an exceptional look that is free of ridges or buckles.
SuperShim joins the rest of the Carpet Shims product line, including a variety of Carpet Shim(tm) sizes, Universal Side Shims(tm) and Extend-A-Shims(tm) for even more gradual rises. Installers across the nation have found that making Carpet Shims a basic part of their job specs can dramatically reduce installation time, save money, and cut down on customer complaints and costly re-servicing.
The Carpet Shim Company is the creator of the specifically designed wood transition products with numerous solutions for residential and commercial flooring transition applications. Carpet Shims are the first and only flooring transition products to carry the CFI Installers Assurance Program seal of approval. Carpet Shim products are ADA compliant (12" x 48"), manufactured in the USA and feature a unique water-resistant formula.
