Quick overview

  • Flooring adhesive solutions provide a clean and efficient alternative to traditional glue for installing carpet and other flooring materials. 
  • Double-sided flooring tapes are available for both permanent and temporary flooring installations, depending on project requirements. 
  • Permanent solutions create a strong, lasting bond between the flooring and subfloor while eliminating curing time. 
  • Temporary solutions provide secure adhesion and can be removed without leaving residue, helping preserve the floor underneath.

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.

Applications

Double-sided carpet tape – for now or forever?

A person wearing brown pants is shown installing a black and white carpet tile over a smooth, gray floor. The focus is on the persons hand lifting the edge of the tile, revealing the underside secured with tesa tape.

Our double-sided tapes for carpets are specially designed adhesive tapes that offer a convenient, efficient solution when installing flooring. So no matter if you are looking for a permanent or temporary solution, we at tesa have the right flooring adhesives to meet your needs.

For long-term bonding, our permanent tapes ensure a strong, lasting connection between the carpet floor and the subfloor. And the double-sided design accelerates installation, with no need to wait for glue to cure.
When you need to lay a carpet temporarily (e.g., for a trade fair, exhibition, or other event), our specialist double-sided tapes provide a secure yet removable bond. And our high-quality tape assortment leaves no residue when removed, preserving the integrity of the floor underneath.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about flooring adhesives

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.
