Double-sided Carpet Laying Tape Tesa tesafix 4944, 25 m × 50 mm, white

Tesa tesafix 4944 is a double-sided carpet laying tape in white, supplied on a 25 m roll with 50 mm width. Engineered for fixing carpets and textile floor coverings to subfloors, this tape creates a discrete seam with immediate tack and a low profile. The adhesive system is formulated for good initial grab and reliable holding power on a range of substrates commonly found in domestic and commercial interiors.

Advantages

The tape offers double-sided adhesion that allows quick and clean carpet joins without visible fasteners. Its white carrier provides a neutral appearance under light-coloured floor coverings and reduces show-through. The product delivers consistent adhesion over the full roll length and is designed to produce a flat seam that minimises edges catching. It is suitable for both short-term installations and longer-lasting fixes when applied to compatible surfaces.

Suitable for

• Securing textile and velour carpets to subfloors
• Creating discrete joins between adjacent carpet edges
• Temporary or semi-permanent carpet installations in homes and offices
• Repairing or re-laying loose carpet sections

Key specifications

• Roll length: 25 m
• Width: 50 mm
• Colour: white
• Double-sided adhesive construction for seam bonding
• Low-profile carrier for minimal edge build-up

How to use

Ensure both the carpet backing and the subfloor are clean, dry and free from dust, oil or loose debris. Cut a length of tape and apply it to the subfloor or carpet edge, pressing firmly to ensure full contact. Remove the release liner and align the adjoining carpet edge, then press along the seam with steady pressure to activate the adhesive. For larger areas, work in sections to maintain accurate alignment and avoid trapping wrinkles. Trim excess material if necessary and allow the bond to stabilise before subjecting the area to heavy traffic.

Usage recommendations

For best results on porous or rough surfaces, prepare the area by sweeping and, if appropriate, using a compatible primer or levelling compound. Test adhesion on a small inconspicuous area when using delicate or coated carpet backings. Avoid use on certain sensitive floor coverings and always follow flooring manufacturer guidelines regarding adhesive compatibility.
