ABSTRACT:
A carpet edge strip secures a carpet edge to the floor and is formed of an aluminum extrusion in the form of a substantially flat strip attached to the floor and with an upstanding rib protruding therefrom. A cap molding fits over the carpet edge strip and has a nose portion, a central slot or groove and a tail portion with the slot or groove tightly receiving the strip upstanding rib. The nose portion fits down against the strip on one side and the tail portion extends over the carpet edge on the other side, squeezing the carpet edge between the carpet edge strip and the cap to prevent the edge from coming loose and to provide a pleasing, finished appearance.
