Double-Sided Cloth Tape: The Installer’s Best Friend

Let's be honest,double-sided cloth tape doesn't look like much in the box. But on a real job site, it does a ton of work.

It's basically a fabric-backed tape with adhesive on both sides. One side sticks to the floor, the other side holds the carpet. No buckets, no trowels, no waiting around for glue to dry.

Why installers love it

• Fast and clean

• Just lay it down, peel the liner, and press the carpet in. No mess, no cure time.

• Strong grip

• Works well on concrete, tile, wood, and most common subfloors. Great for offices, hotels, showrooms, and event spaces.

• Tough fabric backing

• The cloth carrier gives it real strength. It handles foot traffic better than thin film tape and conforms nicely to slightly uneven floors.

• Permanent or removable

• Need it to stay? Go permanent. Need it to come up clean after a show or event? Use a removable version.

• Easier removal

• Removable grades help protect the floor underneath and save time during teardown.

Where it shines

• Wall-to-wall carpet

• Carpet tiles

• Exhibitions and trade shows

• Stair runners and entrance mats

• Quick fixes and temporary floor setups

A few tips

• Clean the floor first. Dust and oil are the enemies of any tape.

• Use perimeter fixing or a grid pattern, depending on the job.

• Press the carpet down firmly so the bond is even.

• Match the tape to the project—permanent for long-term installs, removable for short-term events.
