Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply align the strip with the edge of the floor and slide the thin, angled edge into the junction between the baseboard and the floor.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with carpet, laminate, vinyl, and wood flooring. Not recommended for uneven or stone floors where gaps may be too wide or irregular.
