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
