Hallo. Totally new here so excuse this daft question if it seems obvious to you , but it's a headache to me. I have to relay thin industrial carpet in a corridor in my school. The carpet is to be laid to concrete floor. Nothing I've tried seems to stick . Can anyone suggest a product which works. I have tried double sided tape ( lifts ) ; carpet adhesives ( won't bond to concrete ) . What do you experts use ? Bob
Which side of the double-sided tape lifts, the carpet or the concrete side? I suspect from what you say it's the concrete. Is the tape pulling away with concrete dust on it? And ditto with the adhesive - it comes away 'dusty' from the concrete? If so, I guess it's a case of sealing the concrete first. In which case I'd imagine that Everbuild 403 would be the one for the job. All guesswork of course...
When they did the office refurb a few years ago carpet tiles were stuck with one of the F product maybe F44? Ball Styccobond
Spot on Jit. F.Ball Styccobond F44, great stuff, very sticky. http://www.f-ball.co.uk/product_detail.asp?product=F44
###It's the concrete which is lifting , and is dusty as you say . It looks as if it is going to need sealing . I will check out Everbuild 403 as suggested. Thanks for your time D.A. Bob ###
##Thanks for the advice. The consensus is that it will need sealing . I'll check out Styccobond 44 ##
Suprise carpet spray adhesive don't stick it, got Evo Stick spray here, I spray to seal floor if needed, let it go off, then spray again & stick carpet down. Stuck carpet to concrete floor six years ago here, still stuck down. http://www.screwfix.com/p/evo-stik-carpet-spray-adhesive-500ml/84881
All depends on the area to be glued down. might be able gluing the edge & zizag of glue down the middle.
To everyone who offered advice , I've used a combination of your suggestions and relaid the carpet perfectly. Thank you all . Bob
