Edge-molding system for floor coverings

A method for providing a floor covering with an edge molding comprising:

• providing a subfloor with a loop surface;
• attaching a molding along the edge of said subfloor by the use of a hook edge to join the hook-edge molding to the loop surface subfloor,
• the molding having a flat top which tapers away to the side, with the bottom of said molding having a flat first step under the flat top which tapers away and being able to be positioned over the floor, and
• a second flat step adjacent to the first flat step to be positioned over the subfloor and secured to the subfloor by the hook and loop arrangement,
• such that the flat first step will register smoothly with the floor and the edge of the subfloor and the second flat step will register smoothly with the top of the subfloor and is to be secured by the hook and loop arrangement and will also register smoothly with the edge of the floor covering, such that a neat and attractive edging is made for the floor covering;
• then applying the floor covering with the hook surface to the sloop surface subfloor so that the edge molding is in registry with the edge of the floor covering to provide a smooth and neat edge molding for said floor covering.
