SEAMING TAPE AND METHOD FOR USING SAME

摘要

A seaming tape for joining pieces of floor-covering together, such as carpet or resilient floor covering material, and a method for using the same to join adjacent pieces of planar material is provided. The seaming tape can include an upper mesh tape portion and a lower blocking tape portion that is narrower in width than the mesh tape portion. The mesh tape portion can further include a pressure-sensitive adhesive to hold the blocking tape portion in position.

1. A method of seaming abutting side-by-side layers of planar material, the method comprising the steps of:
a) fitting abutting edges of the abutting layers of planar material to one another to form a line of abutment; b) placing a length of seaming tape underneath the planar material along the line of abutment, the seaming tape further comprising a mesh tape portion and a blocking tape portion disposed beneath the mesh tape portion, the width of the blocking tape portion being narrower than the width of the mesh tape portion; c) dispensing seaming adhesive along one or both of the abutting edges and dispensing adhesive onto a top surface of the seaming tape abutting the planar material; and d) pressing the abutting edges of the abutting layers of planar material against each other and against the tape until the adhesive has at least partially set so as to form a finished seam along the line of abutment.
