Do You Know that We Carry Conventional Seaming Tapes?
March 24th, 2009 | Category: Carpet Tapes, News, Products
We also offer the Signature Series of carpet seaming tapes for use with traditional hot iron systems in addition to the KOOLGLIDE line of tapes. The new Signature Series gives carpet installers unsurpassed performance at affordable prices.
DESIGNED BY INSTALLERS
Seam Master worked with leading installers and industry experts to give installers what they really wanted, a better performing, lower cost tape. While some makers are reducing the adhesive weight, adding fillers and shortening rolls, Seam Master is using better technology to reduce cost while improving quality.
MADE WITH FUSION TECHNOLOGY
Using our exclusive Fusion Technology, we have completely reinvented hot melt seaming tape. This tape-making process actually encapsulates the reinforcing fiberglass strains with hot melt. The result: more even, well-formed adhesive beads – a key to consistent, strong seams.
Seam Master’s Signature Series is a line of four tapes designed to handle every seaming application:
WHY SWITCH TO SIGNATURE SERIES?
Holding power – Lab tests show that these tapes have greater holding power than competitive brands.
Low odor – The Signature Series tapes do not give off that unpleasant odor of products that rely on fillers to reduce cost.
Consistent performance – Even bead distribution means the same adhesive weight throughout the roll. Look at other products and you will see that bead weight and location can vary greatly.
Economy – The Fusion Technology tape-making process is very efficient thus holding down our cost.
One Tape – This unique product works on all backings, has a low melt point to reduce heat damage to carpet or backings and has a low bead profile to minimize telegraphing.
What is the KOOLGLIDE Utility Tape used for?
June 19th, 2008 | Category: Carpet Tapes
Utility tape can be used to fasten ceramic tile to walls, wood floors to concrete or to wood, carpet base to walls, to name a few applications.
Vinyl base molding should not be used with the Utility tape. The plasticizers in the vinyl can cause the glue on the tape to come off the molding after time.
New, Improved Silicone Backed Tape Coming to Distributors Soon
June 12th, 2008 | Category: Carpet Tapes, News
A new, improved KOOLGLIDE Silicone coated tape will begin to appear at distributors soon. What is different from the earlier tape? The new tape has a superior Silicone treatment to the back of the tape which keeps it from sticking to the carpet pad. The paper is denser which allows more Silicone to stay on top of the paper rather than soaking into the paper, which in turn, makes it more effective. Also, the color of the new tape backing is different – it’s a milky light brown compared to the uncoated tape and the previous Silicone tape.
