How tape is used in furniture design and décor

In business, you rely on your surroundings to impress your clients and customers. You want your office to be a warm and inviting place that offers sufficient privacy for your workers. If they visit your location for a meeting and the chairs have holes or the office partition no longer closes properly, your office space makes a poor impression. Using suitable furniture mounting tape can solve small office furniture problems and give your office a more professional appearance. 

How can tape help? It performs small jobs that enhance performance and appearance. From adding small decor flourishes to improving the efficiency of certain fabrics or materials, tape can play a critical role in the everyday function of your furniture. Understanding the right types to use in the right situation can help your team apply tapes more efficiently. 

4 Ways to Use Office Furniture Mounting Tape

Tape can maximize the performance of your office furniture. We recommend two types of tape to get all of your most important jobs done: 

• Polyethylene foam tape: This adhesive has a polyethylene backing. The rubber adhesive works well across various applications, and it excels at protecting and sealing items against moisture. You can find a range of densities to fit multiple applications, including piping repairs. Low-density polyethylene tape bonds easily to most materials, especially at low temperatures.
• Foam acrylic tape: This tape offers impressive bond strength, making it suitable for many applications. It exhibits such excellent strength that it can even replace mechanical fasteners. Many industries employ foam tape, including automotive mechanics and electricians. 

1. Mounting Office Decor

Every office needs decor to show off your team's personality. When someone walks into your office space, you want them to feel comfortable, and the right decorations can set the tone for a relaxing experience. It can also offer direction to help your visitors find the right location for their meeting or navigate to the restroom. Tape can aid you with mounting your decor, providing a tight bond to the wall or other surfaces to keep decorations in place. You can use it to: 

• Put up a mirror: Mirrors are essential in your restrooms, of course. You can also add them to reception areas so that guests can check their appearances before a meeting or in conference rooms to help your team see everyone in attendance. 
• Hang a sign: You may want signs directing people to restrooms or the office kitchen. These pieces reduce confusion and help everyone navigate on their own without finding someone to ask for directions.
• Add some trim: You can add attractive decorative trim to create a more relaxed atmosphere for the office. This decorative element lets you make the rest of your space's aesthetic more cohesive. 

2. Fitting Office Partitions

Partition walls offer your employees and clients greater privacy while also maintaining the sleek appearance of the office. Tape helps you keep the crisp look you want, remaining invisible while keeping the partition in place. We compare the performance of the tape to liquid glue or silicone, offering flexibility you can appreciate. You may need bonding of several different types to keep the partition in place. Tape can work well for: 

• Glass to glass: Prevent panels from pulling apart. Tape can help you maintain invisible joints that withstand humidity, ultraviolet (UV) rays and chemicals.
• Glass in frame: Keep the panel in place for easy construction. This option also resists humidity, chemicals and UV rays with a clean, attractive appearance. 

3. Bonding Door Elements

Tape can improve the look and performance of office doors. The material supports the flexibility of door design and can promote better function. You can use tape for: 

• Door panel bonding: Concealing the frame on your door becomes a snap when you use tape. It creates an immediate bond and provides great protection, even when the temperature rises. 
• Decorative trim: You can add metal or glass trim to a standard door to improve its aesthetics. The type of tape you should use depends on the thickness of the design. 
• Kick plate: Kick plates keep your door from sustaining day-to-day wear and tear. Tape can attach the plate and help your door resist damage. 

4. Adhering Carpet

Another way to maintain your office space is to keep your carpets fixed to the floor. You also get an added safety bonus by eliminating carpet flares or places where guests could snag their feet. Tape keeps the rug in place and offers advantages compared to carpet glue: 

• Odor-free application
• No waiting for the glue to dry
• Efficient and easy process
• Less mess
• Effective on messy or sensitive flooring
