ABSTRACT:
A carpet fastening system and method of manufacture in which an exemplary two, complementary, substantially identical carpet fastening strips are fashioned along side, but opposed to, one another in interdigitated fashion from a single, longitudinally elongated or extended section of flat sheet metal in a cutting-bending process, each of which fastening strips (100, 200 & 300) is ultimately affixed to the back-side of the a wall board (10) or to a wall baseboard (8), preferably with its wall engagement tabs (101, 201 & 301) being substantially flat, presenting either a flat, face-to-face, extended surface interface (FIGS. 1A & 2A) with the back-side of the wall or at least preferably a continuous or at least substantially extended edge (FIG. 3A) in engagement with the back-side, bottom edge of the wall baseboard, in order to secure "wall-to-wall" type carpeting about the walls. The strips are manufactured so as to be installed either at the same time as the baseboards are installed or even when the wall boards are being installed. As a result of manufacturing two complementary strips from a single piece of metal, the manufacturing and material costs and installation costs are reduced, making the metal fastener a cost-effective, superior replacement for the wooden carpet fastening systems of the prior art. The wall engaging tabs and the gaped spaces between them all have equal widths.
