Beaulieu Canada To Offer Glueless Carpet Tile

Acton Vale, Quebec, Sept. 28, 2010--Beaulieu Canada and TacFast Systems International said they have formed a partnership to provide a total adhesive-free, free-floating carpet installation system.

Beaulieu Canada will market and sell TacFast LocPlate products that feature a free-floating substrate and carpet products with a loop fabric covering the underside. The flooring surface attaches to the hook substrate by engaging the hooks and loops creating a mechanical bond that holds the flooring surface in place securely, yet is releasable.

The LocPlate product line is a modular floor that can be installed over any subfloor, without any attachment to the subfloor and supports the installation of a variety of flooring surfaces, making it a universal subfloor system, the companies said. 

"Adding a loop to the underside of our carpet broadens our product offerings as we will offer our entire commercial broadloom line with TacFast," said Marcel Poirier, Beaulieu Canada vice president of commercial business.

"We are particularly excited to be introducing our first ever made-in-Canada carpet tile, which will be available in early 2011. All of our TacFast-compatible carpet tiles will be up to 70% lighter than any other carpet tile on the market, making a significant contribution to our on-going environmental stewardship."

The product made its debut at NeoCon in Chicago.
