The carpet gripper comes with different length spikes but the normal stuff is classed as medium as shown here.
Can feel gripper through carpet.
If you carpet is thin or very short pile you will feel the gripper where it meets the tiles.
Commercial carpet is supposed to be glued down.
Make sure your new carpet has a thick felt backing.
These are usually the cheapest carpets funny enough.
Does anyone have any advice about how to manage the spikes protuding through.
The installers should have lightly flattened the spikes enough so you don t hurt your feet but not too much that they won t hold onto the carpet.

Hello my newly installed carpet has lots of spikes aka carpet grippers which can be felt along the perimeter.
Medium is ok for 90 of carpets dont let them bash the pins down as that will lock the carpet on to them.
Some carpets depending on thickness we use a short pin gripper from gripperrods international with nails that are approx 2 3mm this solves the issue of the spikes coming through the carpet.
It is all down to length of spikes and thickness of carpet.
What is the best rug on carpet gripper for 2020 for 2019 or even 2018 old models.
Yes they have used the wrong gripperrods you can get short medium and long pin gripper.
Dont buy thin carpet in future especially from carpetright.
If you can feel the pins through the carpet it shouldn t be stretched in.
I cut my foot the other day accidentally when my foot moved near the skirting board.
You chose the wrong carpet.
They should have warned you beforehand.
The underlay lies inside the wood mounting of the of the carpet gripper so the use of underlay or its thickness has no effect on this.
