In response to the overwhelming demand for double-sided seaming tape, we have begun offering this product to our customers. This double-sided seaming tape can be used with our rubber flooring and matting products when the application calls for a semi-permanent installation! Our double-sided seaming tape is the answer for applications that do not want a permanent installation, or for residential applications where a permanent installation can be troublesome.
Double-sided seaming tape works great with our Elephant Bark rolled rubber flooring. Although this rolled rubber flooring product is generally heavy enough to stay in place under its own weight, there are some cases where a little extra help is needed. This is where the double-sided seaming tape comes in. The double sided tape prevents the product from curling up in certain areas (around the seams and doorways) which reduces any trip hazards and ensures a smooth rubber surface. One thing to keep in mind about the double sided seaming tape is that it is an industrial grade product, which means that it has very strong adhesive properties. For this reason, we do not recommend using this product on any laminate flooring, hard wood floors, or any delicate floor surfaces that you wish to preserve. For other surfaces where this is not a concern (such as cement, asphalt, wooden sub-floors, or any surface that is not delicate), our double sided seaming tape should work out great.
This product is so powerful that you may almost begin to think that your rubber flooring products are actually glued to the subsurface! One of the biggest advantages of a semi permanent installation with this commercial grade sealing tape is that you still have the option of moving this product to a different location if desired. With permanent installations, you don’t have the option of moving the material to a different location (in the case that you move to a new home). Also, our double sided seaming tape saves you from the trouble of having to deal with chemical based adhesives, which for some homeowners, can be quite troublesome. Our Double-sided seaming tape (Orcon DS-PS) can also be used to install our Eco-Sport rubber floor tiles! Although our 1 inch tiles have an interlocking pin mechanism that allows them to be installed without the use of any adhesives, our ½ inch tiles do not. These ½ inch tiles can still be installed without the use of any adhesives, given that there is a perimeter surrounding the area. This could be a wall that the tiles are flush against, which should keep the inner tiles from moving around. Also, for areas that experience light foot traffic, the weight of the tiles should help keep them in place without the use of any adhesives.
For doorways, edges, and other areas where the ½ tiles are not supported by a perimeter, the double-sided seaming tape comes in handy. This double-sided seaming tape will be sure to keep these rubber floor tiles from moving around in high traffic areas such as entryways and other areas that are not protected by a perimeter. We have carefully selected our double-sided carpet tape to be strong, and wide. This seaming tape measures 5 inches wide and can be used to secure these rubber floor tiles around the seams to keep them from moving apart. So whether you are installing rubber floor tiles or rolled rubber flooring, our double-sided seaming tape can be used to secure a successful semi-permanent installation!
