Choosing the right flooring adhesives
Flooring is the foundation of any interior. It not only defines the visual appeal of a space, but also affects the overall comfort, acoustics, and insulation. Professionally laid flooring enhances the robustness and longevity of the subfloor. Hard wooden floors, ceramic tiles, concrete, and stone offer durability and are easy to clean, whereas soft flooring materials such as carpets and linoleum, provide warmth, sound insulation, and a comfortable feel underfoot when in the office. Traditionally, fitters laid carpet and other flooring materials using glue. However, modern construction techniques now use a more efficient and cleaner alternative: double-sided flooring adhesive tapes.

Frequently asked questions about flooring adhesives
How much flooring adhesive do I need?
Determining the right amount of liquid flooring adhesive is crucial to the success of a project. Mixing too much is a waste, and there’s a danger of running out mid-project if you have too little. Double-sided tape for carpets is a convenient, cost-effective alternative to bonding carpets to the subfloor. As a general rule of thumb, you should plan with one roll of tape for every 5 to 10 square meters. It's always better to have a little extra than not enough. For a more accurate estimate, you should measure the area and consult with a Tesa representative or refer to the specific product instructions.
