我需要地毯夹持棒在fi吗replace hearth?
We have a fireplace with a stove that has a hearth which is about 3 inches thick around the front of the stove. The current carpet has an underlay but no gripper rods around the hearth, the floor is concrete. Now, I wish to lay new underlay and carpet, but do I need gripper rods around the hearth and how close to the hearth do I go with the rods? I can do the gripper rods and underlay myself but will get a professional carpet fitter to lay the carpet.

You wiil need gripper rods around your hearth, and i would stick them down to save nailing close to a hearth . but let the pro do it for you it will be better for the both of you !
Hope this helps
