INSTALLATION

Installation solutions for a healthier living space

Throughout our history, we have always been committed to developing simple, fast and easy installation technologies for your textile floor coverings.

Innovations such as MaxTab adhesive tabs and PermaFuse XL carpet rolls allow for the installation of floor coverings without the use of glue, bringing benefits far beyond simplicity and speed of installation.

Installation Solutions FOR A DIRECT IMPACT ON YOUR ENVIRONMENT

  • Provide greater flexibility when upgrading or modifying your living spaces;
  • Optimise the integrity of the product at the end of its life to maximise the amount of recyclable material;
  • Significantly reduce the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in your spaces.

WHAT IS MaxTab?

FLOATING AND GLUE-FREE

MaxTab is a patented adhesive strip that allows for the floating installation of our tiles and carpet boards without the application of odorous glues, thereby eliminating the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by these liquid glues.

It is easy to use, creates less mess and offers greater flexibility for the installation, cleaning, repair or selective replacement of tiles or carpet boards.

Patented design

MaxTab consists of a single layer polyester tape with a thick, conformable layer of high tack silicone adhesive. The adhesive adheres strongly to irregular surfaces and excludes water. It is highly resistant to all solvents and detergents.

MaxTab also includes a single-layer polyester high-temperature silicone tape that adheres to the most difficult surfaces in high-temperature environments.

MaxTab's 3rd layer is a single-sided polyester tape with a highly effective acrylic adhesive that adheres well to low-energy surfaces and does not shrink.

Silicone adhesive provides superior adhesion in high temperature applications. Durable polyester film is tear and puncture resistant, chemical resistant, drip resistant, seep resistant and slip resistant. Acrylic adhesive provides excellent adhesion and initial bonding; the thick layer of adhesive conforms to irregular surfaces to ensure a firm bond.

Economic benefits
"Using MaxTab provides cost and time savings of up to 50% compared to other methods of installing floor coverings."

Installation System
FuseMax joint tape and SealMax sealant allow you to complete any installation without the use of adhesives, while avoiding the TEVE or RH test.
Learn more about fuse MAX and seal max

PermaFuseXLTM, combined with Venture Carpet's advanced MAX installation system - including FuseMax joint tape and SealMax sealant - allows you to complete any installation without the use of adhesives. Using this installation system, there is no need to test for water vapour emission rate (WVE) or relative humidity (RH), provided no liquids or moisture stains are present on the surface prior to installation.

The result will be a "floating" floor surface that performs well and is aesthetically appealing. The selection of styles and colours PermaFuseXLTM offers allows for creative versatility while harmonizing with our carpet tiles and planks. All of these benefits make PermaFuseXLTM ideal for schools, healthcare facilities and senior living facilities.
