FAQs

Q: What is the main purpose of a square nose trim?
A: It provides a smooth edge finish at the perimeter of floor coverings, especially where the flooring meets a wall, skirting, or a different surface.

Q: Is this trim suitable for carpeted stairs or nosing?
A: While it has a square nose profile, it’s not stair nosing. Its best used for floor edge transitions rather than step edges.

Q: Can I use this with other types of carpet?
A: It’s optimized for needle punch carpets, but may work with other low-profile carpets. For thick-pile carpets, a different trim may be more suitable.

Q: How is it installed?
A: It can be screwed or glued into place depending on the subfloor type. Screws are ideal for wooden subfloors, while adhesive may be preferred on concrete or tiles.

Q: Can I paint the trim if I want a different finish?
A: If the trim has a metal finish, it can be painted with appropriate metal primer and topcoat, though this is typically not necessary due to the clean finish it already provides.
