UZIN Sigan® High performance adhesive tape

Yes, UZIN Sigan is a unique tape designed to install vinyl, linoleum, rubber, and carpet floor coverings over existing coverings such as vinyl and linoleum. It can also be used over compatible UZIN smoothing compounds, chipboard and metal subfloors.

Installing over a sound, suitable existing floor can reduce time, mess and cost by avoiding removal of the old floor covering and extensive subfloor preparation. Always ensure that UZIN Sigan, the existing floor and the new covering are compatible before installation. 

Most floor coverings are installed with an adhesive to prevent movement after installation, which typically take at least 24 hours to cure. However, with UZIN Sigan tape, floor coverings are ready for foot traffic and use immediately after installation. Unlike click or loose-lay floors, it does not rely on interlocking joints or carpet gripper to hold the floor in place, but firmly anchors the floor across the entire installation area. UZIN Sigan tape is therefore ideal for demanding commercial environments such as retail, healthcare, schools, hospitality and offices, where long-lasting durability is essential.

UZIN Sigan can also be subjected to loads straight away, and the new vinyl or lino floors can be welded immediately where the covering and installation specification require it. This can help businesses reduce closure times and is particularly valuable for fast-track refurbishment, repairs, reopening programmes and projects with tight handover deadlines. 

UZIN Sigan adhesive tape is designed to let you easily remove floor coverings later without leaving any residue. This feature is particularly beneficial for refurbishment projects that require flexibility, such as leased commercial spaces, retail environments, offices, and hospitality settings. The residue-free removal process can also reduce the work needed before the next flooring renovation, supporting a quicker turnaround for future projects. 

UZIN Sigan tape is ideal when flooring refurbishment projects need to be quick, clean and easy, without the downtime often associated with traditional flooring refurbishment. The tape enables you to install new floor coverings, such as vinyl, carpet, or rubber, over existing floor coverings like vinyl or linoleum. UZIN Sigan tape eliminates the need for extensive flooring removal and subfloor preparation, saving time, labour and money.

UZIN Sigan tape also lets you install new floors and use them immediately. The system can be installed over selected existing floor coverings and substrates, removed later without leaving residue, and used with hot-water underfloor heating. It also delivers heavy-duty performance for demanding commercial and industrial environments.

One of the cleanest ways to install a new floor is with a tape-based adhesive such as UZIN Sigan®, rather than a traditional wet adhesive. With no adhesive mixing, spreading, or drying time, it helps keep installation areas cleaner and reduces on-site disruption.

UZIN Sigan offers several key benefits. It supports quick installation and allows the floor to be walked on, loaded and welded immediately. UZIN Sigan is suitable for vinyl, linoleum, rubber and carpets, and can be installed over selected existing floor coverings and subfloors, including screeds with hot-water underfloor heating. When it is time to refurbish again, you can remove the flooring without leaving adhesive residue.

Floors can be renovated overnight by using a UZIN Sigan® adhesive tape. Where the existing floor and substrate are suitable, contractors can install new vinyl, linoleum, rubber, or carpet floor coverings directly over the old floor coverings. Unlike traditional wet adhesives, there is no mixing, spreading or drying time, helping contractors complete suitable installations quickly and cleanly.

UZIN Sigan’s also allows the new floor to be walked on, loaded and welded immediately after installation. This makes it a practical solution for fast-track refurbishments in retail, offices, and healthcare, helping minimise downtime and allowing businesses to install floors overnight and reopen quickly.
