Heatbond seam tape for crisp seams
If you want to deliver a carpet project professionally, the technical finish is just as important as the pattern and the materials. It is the details that ultimately determine the result. Heatbond seam tape ensures that carpet widths join neatly and remain attractive for years, even in heavily trafficked areas. Heatbond is therefore the professional tool for a crisp, durable and reliable outcome in both domestic and commercial carpet installations.
What is Heatbond seam tape?
Heatbond seam tape is a specialised carpet-seaming tape with hotmelt adhesive, developed to bond two carpet widths seamlessly together. A Heatbond carpet seamer heats the adhesive layer so that it fuses with the carpet backing.
The result is a smooth, strong and durable seam that remains attractive even in areas with heavy footfall.
When should you use it?
You use Heatbond seam tape wherever you want seams to close neatly and remain stable in the long term:
- In a stretched carpet installation (stretch-fit) with gripper rods
- In heavily used commercial projects such as hotel corridors, offices, conference rooms and passageways
- In double-stick installations and some direct-glue applications, as added reinforcement for the seams
Or, in a single sentence:
You use Heatbond seam tape when you want to be certain that seams remain closed, crisp and smooth even after years of intensive use.
What does it do in practice?
With Heatbond seam tape you ensure:
- Crisp seams – carpet widths meet neatly without raised or open edges.
- Lasting stability – seams stay closed even under intensive use with foot traffic, wheeled luggage and office chairs.
- A calm, professional floor appearance – especially in long sightlines such as corridors, lobbies and large office floors.
How does it work?
Heatbond seam tape is an important part of the flooring build-up.
- Preparing a solid foundation
You first choose the right underlay, tailored to comfort, acoustics and any underfloor heating.
- Preparing the seam
Cut the carpet widths to size. The underlay is installed at a right angle to the carpet’s laying direction, ensuring the underlay seam does not align with the carpet seam. Then place the Heatbond seam tape under the carpet seam, with the adhesive side facing up.
- Bonding and closing the seam
Using the Heatbond carpet seamer, you melt the adhesive layer, bring the carpet widths together immediately and press the seam firmly. Once cooled, a smooth, strong seam remains.
This creates a carpet installation with neat, seamless joints that look refined and remain reliable even under intensive daily use.
The result: smart and professional
With Heatbond seam tape you deliver carpet projects with crisp seams, a calm and professional floor appearance and a result that remains attractive for years, even in heavily trafficked spaces. You achieve a consistent, high-quality finish that reflects your craftsmanship and meets the expectations of demanding clients.
Heatbond supports your trade expertise: it turns every carpet installation into a showcase of quality, comfort and durability. By combining Heatbond seam tape with the right underlay or secondary underlay, you create a carpet floor that not only looks perfect upon completion but also remains crisp and reliable after years of intensive use.
