Best Answer

In the industry, a carpet nail could be one of three things. #1 A reference to the tacks that used to be used to hold down carpet on a wood floor prior to tackless strip ( the 1" wide pieces of wood with pins on it around your walls). Or #2 A nail to hold down those 1" pieces of wood. Or #3 One of the sharp pins in the 1" pieces of tackless strip that hold the carpet onto the tackstrip. There is also a reference to " stay nails " in the industry. These are 1" concrete nails that are driven into the carpet to aid in the installation process and then removed when the installation is complete.
