KwikGrip Heavy Duty Double Sided Tape - B&Q

This tape is primarily designed for fixing floor coverings such as carpets and vinyl to subfloors due to its heavy-duty strength and aggressive adhesive.

It is not recommended for use on painted walls as the aggressive adhesive may damage the paintwork or wallpaper upon removal.

The tape provides a strong, long-term bond. Its longevity depends on the application, surface preparation, and the weight or stress applied.

The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. It is designed for strong adhesion and is generally suitable for indoor applications.

Recommended surfaces include wood, concrete, vinyl, carpet backing, and some plastics where a permanent, strong bond is required.

Store the tape in its original high-impact display box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

No, this is a heavy-duty, double-sided tape designed for permanent fixing. Repositioning is not recommended as it may weaken the adhesive and damage surfaces.

Ensure surfaces are perfectly clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the protective backing has been fully removed and that the tape is pressed firmly onto both surfaces.

Due to its heavy-duty nature, removal can be challenging. For hard surfaces, try gently heating the tape with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, then carefully pry it away. For softer surfaces, test a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid damage. Consider using a solvent specifically designed for adhesive removal, following its instructions carefully.

Apply steady, even pressure when pressing the tape down. Ensure the surface is smooth. If the tape is resisting, do not force it; re-evaluate the surface condition or application method.
