Carpet tape offers an effective solution to hold carpets in position when tack strips or similar such methods cannot be relied on - a simple, no-mess approach to keep mats, rugs, and carpets in place.

A heavy-duty carpet adhesive, sized 1.41 - 2-inch x 10 - 36-yards, offers a perfect solution for securing carpets, mats or rugs in position. Its adhesive glue or bond adheres to almost any floor-surface, including tile, foam, fabric, concrete, paper, wool, linoleum, etc.

Carpet tapes come in a variety of sizes, styles and adhesive properties to adhere to indoor or outdoor carpets, foams, synthetic-backed carpets, artificial turfs, and marine carpets, such as those seen on a pontoon or deck boat.

A roll of single of double-sided self-adhesive carpet tape is simple to apply with no heating or gluing required. It is often a simple case of unrolling and attaching the tape to a flooring area, than peel off the protective backing on the top-side of the tape, and position a carpet, rug, or mat in its desired position for a long-term hold.

3M, Henkel and Intertape Polymer all manufacture a series of carpet tapes to adhere a variety of indoor or outdoor carpeting materials. Some of the common types of carpet binding tape include -

A 1.41-inch x 42-foot roll of carpet tape for semi-permanent or permanent indoor carpet installation, with a resilient tear-resistant cloth construction, costs in the region of $5.88, and ideal for most high-traffic areas such as a front hallway or living room.

A 1.41-inch x 42-feet roll of fiberglass outdoor carpet tape is ideal for permanent bonding to rough or smooth surfaces, designed with woven polypropylene, foam/rubber, and jute backed carpets in mind, retails in the region of $6.35, and recommended in areas of high moisture and / or high-traffic – due to its ability to resist mildew and damp.

Besides the carpet tapes or adhesives, the removable and repositionable Hold-It for Rugs™ tape by Henkel is ideal for securing small-sized (2 x 3-feet) mats or rugs – a rug holder of this nature is safe on most hard surfaces, such as laminate, tile, vinyl, and hardwood – and does not leave a residue.

All in all, a long lasting, simple to apply roll of double sided carpet tape is perfect on a multitude of floor surfaces, such as wood, vinyl, and ceramic to hold synthetic-back carpets in position on all low or high-traffic areas.
