Laminate and Cork Carpet Reducers
Carpet Reducer, which is also called Baby Threshold, is used to transition floor coverings of differing heights
and construction. For example, hardwood floor to carpet. It can also be used to border a fireplace.
Step 1.
Attach the U-track to the carpet reducer. Position the U-track/carpet
reducer on the subfloor between the flooring and carpet. Mark on the
subfloor where the U-track will be installed. Mark on the carpet how
much to trim if necessary.
Step 2.
Fasten the U-track to the subfloor with a ¼ X 1” flat head screws. The
screw holes should already been predrilled. Trim the carpet.
Step 3.
Fasten the carpet reducer into the track. Begin inserting at one end of
the track. Push the post portion into the track. Continue insertion
using a rolling motion until all the whole length of the carpet reducer
post is inserted. Press down to ensure maximum track hold on the
carpet reducer.
Step 4.
Installation is complete.
Step 5.
Prevent damage. When moving heavy object across the carpet reducer, do not drag the heavy object across
the top of it. Place plywood board over it and roll the object on the plywood.
