Just the facts about <strong>backings</strong><br />

Why is <strong>carpet</strong> <strong>tile</strong><br />

backing important?<br />

High quality backing is<br />

essential to the performance<br />

and durability <strong>of</strong> the product.<br />

It enables heavy wear without<br />

deterioration. Characteristics<br />

<strong>of</strong> a good backing include:<br />

• Flatness and stability –<br />

preventing <strong>tile</strong>s from moving,<br />

curling up or creating gaps over<br />

time<br />

• Dimensional stability –<br />

assuring <strong>tile</strong>s do not shrink or<br />

expand under varied conditions<br />

<strong>of</strong> humidity and temperature<br />

• Floor hugging capability –<br />

minimising or eliminating the<br />

need for adhesives
