YYXLIFE Double Sided Carpet Tape for Area Rugs, Hardwood Floors, 2" x20YD

I bought this tape to secure some area rugs that kept sliding around on my hardwood floors, and I am honestly impressed by the grip. It anchors them down completely—even with my dogs running over them, the corners don't lift or shift at all. A helpful tip for application: This stuff is extremely sticky (which is good!), but it means you have to be careful when peeling the backing. I found it easiest to stick the tape to the rug first, press it down firmly, and then peel the paper liner off slowly just before flipping it onto the floor. If you try to do it too fast, it can stick to your fingers or itself. It’s also thin enough that you don't feel a "bump" under the rug, which was a concern of mine. If you need a heavy-duty hold for high-traffic areas, this is the one to get.

Trying to get my house ready to sell and decided to add rubber treads to my basement steps. When I calculated what I would need for 11 steps, 20 yards ended up being the right amount. I was able to put three vertical pieces on the rubber tread from the back up to where the tread begins to fold over. I added two smaller pieces on the back in between the vertical pieces. Next, I added a 24" piece to the rounded part of the wooden tread. I removed the top part of the tape and then carefully place the treads down. The tape is not permanent unlike a strong liquid adhesive so the next owners can remove by using a hair dryer to warm up with tape. The tape is not super thick yet durable enough to grab and hold onto everything. I just made sure I pushed down firmly when adhearing it to both sides. I used a sharpe razor blade to cut through the tape.

I’m going to give this 5 stars though I’d give it 4.5 if I could. I cut a half inch slice off the roll - just enough to put at the four corners of a rug to keep them from slipping on the tile. That works great. But because this tape is kind of thick and very sticky (as it should be) it leaves sticky residue on my scissors that I can only get off with rubbing alcohol and elbow grease. I wish they’d make this tape segmented so I could just take off a piece instead of having to cut it. Maybe I’m the only one that uses it this way thus the 5 stars. But, it works very well for keeping rugs from sliding on tile. I’ve used other grippers but they just don’t last long nor do they work nearly as well as this tape.

I got this to mount puzzles to boards for hanging. I believe it is going to work very well. If you want to stop a rug or carpet from sliding around I think this will work very well. If I have leftover I might try it on my living room area rug. It sticks to your fingers while trying to lay it out and if you touch the side you’re pealing the paper off of it will stick to your fingers again. Make sure you have the tape and item your taping down where you want it because it may be hard to remove and reposition.

The rug in my Home Office kept rolling up and bending up each time I rolled my office chair, so I brought this carpet tape and it is excellent. My carpet has not moved since placing it several days ago. It sticks sticks really well, and it appears to be good value for the money. Currently, I cannot speak about any residue with removal because I have not tried to remove it. It seems to be serving its useful purpose. The color of the tape is clear underneath the white paper. So far, I can attest to making a good choice.

After years of constantly straightening my area rugs they stay in place and the tape is quality so far sticking perfectly and not having to replace as it loses holding power in higher traffic areas.

Got this after many times my toddler would move are hallway rugs and occasionally would fall from the rugs slipping right from underneath her because we have LVP flooring. This tape is a miracle worker. Keeps the rugs in place and used it on 3 rugs already with plenty tape left. The tape is easy to put on. There is some difficulty cutting without it getting stuck to the scissors but that just shows how thick and strong the tape is. Great value and great quality. Definitely purchase if you want your rugs to be in place.

Excellent. Added to scatter rug and they don’t budge even during vacuuming.

This is good quality tape that is holding my carpets and rugs down perfectly. It was easy to cut using a knife as instructed and the backing paper was easy to remove. The only difficulty was removing the outer cellophane as it had stuck to the side of the roll. Very strong and good value

I’ve used this on a few types of rugs and it’s awesome!

Ziet er inderdaad niet heel sticky uit en je krijgt het makkelijk van het parket af. Echter, werkt het niet en heb je er dus vrij weinig aan

Ottimo per fissare efficacemente tappeti ai pavimenti in particolare bordi e spigoli. Indispensabile per le stuoie in paglia e similari che tendono ad arricciarsi sui bordi. Evita così anche di inciamparci. Da avere in casa !

Superó mis expectativas , la adherencia es perfecta a la superficie de la alfombra y el piso. Cumple su funcion
