You can easily remove carpet tack board from your floors and prevent damaging the natural floor by taking your time and working in small sections as you go. This material is used to keep the carpeting and padding from moving while it is being walked on day in and day out. A good example is a welcome mat at the front door; it is constantly moving around your front step, which is caused by friction from traffic passing over it, going in and out of your home. Without these tack strips, your living room carpet would move in the direction of the movement across the floor. Some of these are nailed into your floor, while others are glued or stapled.
