Installation Solutions For a Healthier Living Space
Throughout our journey, we have always been committed to developing simple, quick and easy installation technologies for your textile floor coverings.
Innovations such as MaxTab adhesive tabs and PermaFuse XL carpet rolls allow floor coverings to be installed without the use of glue, bringing benefits that go far beyond simple and quick installation.
Installation Solutions FOR A DIRECT IMPACT ON YOUR ENVIRONMENT
- Offer greater flexibility when improving or modifying your living spaces;
- Optimize product integrity at the end of life to maximize the amount of recyclable materials;
- Significantly reduce the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in your spaces.
WHAT IS MaxTab?
FLOATING AND GLUE-FREE
MaxTab is a patented adhesive tab that allows floating installation of our carpet tiles and planks without the application of odorous glues, thus eliminating the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by these liquid glues.
It’s easy to use, creates less mess and provides greater flexibility for installation, repair or selective replacement.

Patented Design
MaxTab consists of a single-layer polyester tape with a thick, conformable layer of high adhesion silicone adhesive. The adhesive adheres strongly to uneven 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.
The third layer of MaxTab 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. The durable polyester film is resistant to tearing and punctures, chemicals, drip, seepage and slippage. Acrylic adhesive provides excellent initial tack and adhesion; the thick layer of adhesive conforms to uneven surfaces to provide a firm bond.
The advantages of MaxTab in terms of saving time and money compared to conventional solutions, such as the use of carpet glue. It is easy to use, creates less damage and offers greater flexibility for installation, repair or selective replacement.
Below we present you with different scenarios to show you in concrete terms what the use of MaxTabs can mean in terms of money and time saved.
