How far from the wall should I fix the carpet gripper?

 The gripper should be fixed about 7mm away from the wall, slightly more for thicker carpets. Check measure the depth of your new carpet with a tape measure before fixing any gripper. If you guess the distance your carpet will not fit properly. 

Start in one corner of the room and fix gripper rods in 5 ft lengths. Follow the contour of your skirting board as much as possible. When it becomes apparent a 5ft length will be too long, cut to the size required. Cut small pieces of Gripper to contour around door frames. Your carpet underlay is now ready to be fitted.
