We offer two different types of edging with our carpets :-)


Black Rubber Edging - This is butted up to the front edge of the garage carpet and glued down onto the concrete. It creates a smooth clean line to complete the install.


Aluminium Edging - This is installed along the front edge of the carpet but overlaps the carpet edge. Holes are then drilled into the concrete and the edging is screwed down into the concrete. A thin rubber strip is then placed over the screws to finish the install. This edging is a superior, durable option. Definitely recommended if you intend to use your garage to park the car in as opposed to all the other uses our garages have!
