Yes, this tape requires a professional heat seam iron to activate the adhesive.
It is designed for standard carpets suitable for heat-seaming. Always check the carpet manufacturer's installation guidelines.
The adhesive is heat-activated, meaning it is designed to hold securely once cooled and cured, but it should not be exposed to excessive heat sources after installation.
The tape is 100mm wide, providing a wide surface area for a secure bond.
Each roll contains 20 meters of carpet joining tape.
Ensure the iron temperature is high enough and that you are moving slowly enough to allow the adhesive to fully melt.
Trim the carpet edges precisely before applying the tape; ensure the two edges are pushed firmly together while the adhesive is still tacky.
Check that the floor surface was free of dust and moisture before laying the tape; re-heat the seam and apply pressure again.
To begin, ensure the subfloor is clean and debris-free. Lay the tape in the desired seam location with the adhesive side facing upward. Place the carpet edges tightly together directly on top of the tape. Use a professional-grade heat seam iron set to the manufacturer's recommended temperature for your specific carpet type. Always test a small scrap piece of carpet first to confirm the heat setting. For maintenance, keep the roll stored in a cool, dry place to prevent the adhesive from degrading before use.
