HOW TO GRIPPER/TACK STRIP CONCRETE FLOORS FOR CARPET
Phil and Brad are demonstrating how you would gripper / tack strip a concrete floor ready for carpet.
Most floors are floorboards which you nail the gripper to, however if you have a concrete floor you will be unable to nail into it.
Watch this easy step by step guide in which you will see the process to gripper a concrete floor.
First you will need to prime the floor so that the glue can stick to it. Next you will need to cut your gripper down into small strips and lay it out around your room in preparation for gluing.
Finally you will need to run a bead of adhesive along the wall and firmly fix your gripper strips into position.
Once your adhesive has dried you will be ready to lay your new carpet.

Cheers fellas !
I wish there were upholstered furniture or drapes in the room to absorb sound waves enough to prevent ECHO... I missed most of your dialogue, but I saw most of what you were doing and hopefully can figure out the rest... Thanks.
Nice 👌🏼👌🏼
What holster are you using to hold both Wolff knives in?
Nice video ❤. What if you have a DPM above the concrete floor? What would you recommend as I’m guessing this approach won’t work.
would this work on bitumen floors?
Found it
👍🏻
how strong is this compared to when nailed in, i mean will the stretched carpet pull them off the adhesive? love the videos btw
This is just as strong, only need to use this method when the floor will not take a pin, or underfloor heating, or suspect pipes have. Been fitted shallow .
What adhesive are you using to prime the floor great video cheers lads
Can’t remember brand but any concrete primer 😊
No joy for me. Tried 3 different adhesives. Pink Grip, Sticks Like, and Gorilla grab adhesive. MAPEI screeded floor, vaccumed and primed with tiler's acrylic primer. Tested on 6" lengths of gripper. Adhesive coated perfectly, as I put the bead on the gripper and worked it back and forth on the floor to spread it out. 24 hours later used a wallpaper scraper to scrape them off and all came off relatively easily, worst was Pink Grip. Was hoping the plywood would split, but nope, just a coating of screed dust on the bottom of each, less on the Pink Grip. Reckon most combinations will fail after a few years of summer/winter expansion and contraction, and under tension from the carpet.
I de-nail 12 Lengths first and then use a Chop Saw
Perfect method as well
Dont use the cutters to take the nails out, thats why they wont cut anything as they are blunt😊
Agreed I have new ones now the pair you see in the video was crappy old pair in the garage, after tool was stolen
Nice if the camera showed the actual working area rather than the chaps tattooed arm
No knee pads 😱
You will never catch Phil in knee pads.
Just nail it in by hand bro
We do usually, This is good for under floor heating or where builders buried pipe very shallow to the surface .
Concrete nails are my first choice, but yeah, sometimes the floor is too hard to take in any size of concrete nail, particularly the half inch ones which penetrate best for harder floors.
My last resort is a hot glue gun which works wonders for me. It's definitely more time consuming, and I also have to cut the tack strip in 4 inch sections, since the glue cures so fast. I did a bedroom the other day, and hot melted the tack strip around the entire perimeter. It held up great even with the power stretcher I used. 🤘🏼
For speed purposes I can pretty much nail into any concrete no matter how old it is. Yes I understand though sometimes you have to apply some sort of adhesive to the gripper and nail it for it to work. I only use tri tac gripper it's wider (you can start really smashing the nails in now) and has more teeth to grab onto the carpet with.@@nascage
@@NzRasengan I hammered in about 10 concrete nails (5/8 & 1/2 inch) in one tack strip, and only got one to hold. I just gave up knowing it'd be a long and frustrating day if I continued. I don't encounter super hard floors often, but I do.
How do you get your nails to hold on hard concrete with a hammer, and what size nails do you use? I'm always willing to learn.
Roberts 17mm concrete nails. A lot about nailing into concrete is your form and technique. It would be easier if you could see me doing it in person. I would start by using wider gripper (tri tac). You wont look back.@@nascage
Quick tip put some knee pads on you will thank me later 👍
Thanks mate we invested in some now 🙌😊
What holster are you using to hold both Wolff knives in?
there separate holsters 🙂
@@homeimprovements yes i know that but which one do you use?
@@caneytt ahhh my bad they come with the wolf knifes 😊👌🏼
