No, at least in ours. Under the carpet is the aluminum like that on the sidewalls. Where the carpet meets the vinyl it isis held down by the metal strips, just like it is done in houses. Where the carpet meets the cabinets, there is 1/4 round molding that we took up. Under that the carpet is stapled to the aluminum. We tore the carpet loose, and the foam pad under it, then we used a tack puller and pliers to remove the staples. Be careful with those metal strips, they have many barbs that will prick your fingers. Early on, we decided to not reuse the molding. It's wood covered with a paper-thin vinyl. We went to Lowes and bought a couple of strips of real wood molding, stained them to match the other wood and it looks great, at least we think so.
