HOW TO USE CARPET TAPE ON A RUG?

Our carpet tapes are designed for concrete, wood and textiles (such as carpets and wall-to-wall carpets). However, for carpets and wall-to-wall carpets, it is recommended to use more carpet tape.

The concrete and wood are smooth and even. Therefore, the carpet tape can have greater coverage on the surface. On the other hand, wool, textiles and coarse fibers have a small surface area and can adhere to adhesives. This usually results in lower bond strength.

You can increase the number of strips to make up for the smaller surface area.

Not all double-sided tapes are the same. Many use rubber adhesives, although reliable, they make the removal process more difficult. When removed, the rubber adhesive usually peels off some of the carpet-fibers.
