A french tuck is where the installer wraps the tread with carpet and as a separate step installs a piece of carpet on the riser giving it a defined appearance. When a floor transitions at a threshold from wood or tile to carpeting the carpeting may need to be tucked to provide a seamless transition from one type of flooring to another. Step 5 tuck the end of the carpet into the gap between the tack strip and the tile by using a stair tool or a putty knife. This carpet tool is specially designed for installing carpet on stairs.

Featuring durable drop forged construction and rust resistant chrome plating the stair tool has offset edges to protect walls during installation. Repeat the process along the entire doorway until no portion of the carpet edge remains visible. The easiest and most common installation technique is simply to stretch the carpet over the bullnose and straight down to the next step. The soft comfort grip makes it ideal for regular use.

Flooring transitions can be tricky to negotiate.
