Questions and Answers for Halex Poplar 7/8 in. x 4 ft. Carpet Tack Strip for Wood or Concrete Subfloors (3-Pack)

A:  Yes. Take out the package. Set about 1/2 away from baseboards or the wall and nail down using a small hammer. Easy-peasy stuff

A:  Yes it comes with tacks in it

A:  It surely does, hence the name "tack strip"

A:  Yes it does

A:  The tack is pre-nailed.

A:  because you are buying in bulk.

A:  Because sometimes you'd rather buy 1 (or 3) than for $2.09 than $20. I need one piece for a doorway after tiling the floor, so I'd much rather spend $2.09 than $20, and honestly I'd rather have only 2 left over than 99.

A:  Bulk supply pricing and packaging costs from the manufacture. Oddly, the 100 pack is also 1/8" wider (better) for the lower per-unit cost.

A:  They are a little more than a 1/8 of an inch without the tacks

A:  7/8 in.

A:  The tax strip is about a quarter of an inch thick

A:  About 3/16".

A:  This particular SKU has only 3 pcs. per pack. However, if you purchase the 1 inch wide tack strips they come 100 to a case.

A:  It will be much better if u use nails with liquid nail

A:  Yes if the concrete is busted out you can pre-drill and use cut nails or you have to liquid nail it

A:  I've tried this, and no. It won't hold. You have to hammer in the nails.

A:  Yes, but why would you need it if the included/embedded concrete nails actually work? It would also make them a bear to remove later. I did use Liquid Nails to secure the very edge of the carpet into the 1/4" gap between the tack strip and the tile of a carpet-to-tile floor transition. YouTube videos are great to show an example. I was surprised how well this worked/looked using that technique.
