Carpet Tape

BBS makes superior carpet tapes using modern manufacturing combined with our traditional know-how. We select high-grade resins with noticeably less smoke and odour – but without compromising the holding power you need at the seam. Our SureLok® straight webbing perfectly aligns the seam, preventing opening under tension. Our hotmelt and fibreglass are fused together under a chilled roller to create the strongest bonded backing for carpet joins. Our silicon-coated paper provides excellent release over all underlays.

Fumes released from lower-grade resins are an unhealthy hazard for installers. They can also trigger smoke alarms and irritate homeowner and their pets. Sureseam® carpet tapes use expensive low-smoke and odour resins in their formulations to eliminate these hazards.

Our fibreglass and cotton webbing perfectly aligns across the seam without warp or bow, so there is no slack when the seam is stretched. Straight webbing creates an even tension at the join, which reduces carpet peaking.

Sureseam® carpet tape is made through a chilled roller that fuses together the fibreglass strands with the hotmelt. Surrounding and imbedding the fibreglass within the hotmelt forms the strongest bonded backing for joining carpet.

Sureseam® tapes are all silicon release coated on the back for a quick release over all types of underlay.

Selected Sureseam® tapes contain wider ‘plateaus’ of hotmelt in the centre for the join. More hotmelt focused at the centre of the seam helps to reduce peaking by firmly holding down the join edges.

Sureseam® hotmelt is carefully formulated to make it soft and flexible. This allows the installer to iron quickly down the seam.
