Product information
Karma Gripper Strip is designed for use with soundproof matting such as the Karma Soundlay and Acoustilay range. The product is fixed around the perimeter of a room where soundproof matting and carpet is going to be laid. Soundproof matting is then laid within that perimeter and then carpet can be laid on top, fixing gripper rods to the Karma Gripper Strip. This avoids reducing acoustic performance by nailing gripper rods into the mats themselves, or fixing the gripper rods direct to the subfloor without any acoustic materials.
The primary reason for using Karma Gripper Strip is to gain maximum performance from laying soundproof matting with carpet. When laying carpet alongside products such as Karma Soundlay, Soundlay Plus and Acoustilay mats, performance is significantly reduced without the use of this product.

Frequently asked questions
When should I use gripper strip with SoundLay?
Use it if you're laying carpet with gripper rods, as it cuts sound travelling through the grippers. You can also lay carpet straight onto SoundLay, with or without carpet underlay.
Which Gripper Strip do I need for the 12mm Soundlay Duo?
You would want the 6mm option for the 12mm Duo mat. It comes in 1.2m lengths and fixes around the edge of the room, so you can fix your carpet gripper rods to it rather than nailing into the mats.
