Carpet and rug tapes are double-sided tapes which have been specially designed to be safe to bind to carpets, rugs and other irregular flooring surfaces, such as glueing felt and felt pads, fixing heel reinforcements – in the footwear industry – and lamination of various materials. These self-adhesive non-slip rug tapes feature a cloth carrier coated with a unique rubber adhesive that is very aggressive, providing strong bonds to surfaces such as metal and wood whilst being age-resistant and giving clean peel on removal.
Usage information
At 230 microns thick and with a temperature resistance of -20°C up to 70°C the Double Sided Rayon carpet binding tape was developed primarily as a carpet tape; but, it is also widely used as a fixing aid on tooling beds because of its clean peel properties and rugs.
These tapes are ideal for carpet laying, glueing felt and felt pads, parquet floors, fixing heel reinforcements in the footwear industry, and lamination of various materials.  Rayon cloth tape is a very versatile tape that provides a robust and durable bond.

How does rug tape work?
Rug tape works by adhering to the underside of the rug. Once one side of the tape has stuck to the surface, peel off the backing on the other side of the double-sided tape, lift the rug up and over, and apply it directly to the flooring.
These tapes tend to work well on multiple surfaces such as laminate, wood, carpet, concrete and other hard floors.

This tape will stick anything! So strong. Need very sharp scissors or a knife to cut, but once you get the hang of it it’s brilliant. (It’s getting the stuck item off again that’s the problem!) Highly recommend.
