Temperature and Storage
Always protect the adhesive from any temperature extremes both prior to and during installation. Refer to the product packaging for further guidance.
Mixing
In the case of EnviroStik two-component polyurethane adhesive systems always add the hardener to the tub of adhesive at the correct ratio by weight and use a mechanical mixer to ensure all the components are effectively dispersed.
Application
Apply sufficient adhesive to the back of the carpet to totally cover and fill the backing ridges. Use the correct application tools; a Seam-Rite machine is ideal for larger installations.
Seam Joints
Ensure that the carpet joins down the centre of the tape and that sufficient adhesive is covering the tape – ideally a minimum of 24cm width of adhesive onto a 30cm Seaming Tape.
Cross Joints
The dotted area represents an area where joints cross and on some tapes it is essential to remove the film backing or reinforcing medium when bonding to this area.
Curing Process
Apply light, even pressure after bonding the carpet to the tape.
If In Doubt Use Our Handy Checklist
Are external conditions suitable for seam bonding?- Is the adhesive stored at the recommended temperature range?
- Is the mixing of adhesive components consistent?
- Are application tools clean and set correctly?
- Is the amount of adhesive adequate for the carpet being installed?
- Is the adhesive applied to the tape uniformly?
- Is the procedure correct for cross joints?
- Is the pressure on the seam applied adequately and frequently?
