Ø Avoiding VOCs and using recycled materials in our products wherever possible

Speed of Installation

Ø Simplifying processes with clever, hassle-free systems

Ø Minimising disruption to client operations

Design Flexibility

Ø Facilitating agile design for specifiers with removeable, reversible solutions

Ø Offering compatibility with different floor covering types and manufacturers

Operational Effectiveness

Ø Improving life-time value via reduced installation, repair and replacement costs

Ø Reducing labour and material costs


The Better Way for Flooring Installation


Flooring installation using traditional adhesive-based methods such as tackifiers, spray and contact adhesives can be problematic when it comes to uplift.


Flooring can be contaminated by not only adhesive residue but also some of the subfloor to which it was adhered, meaning it’s not suitable for recovery or reuse and can’t easily be recycled. 


This often results in contaminated floor coverings being sent for landfill after just one use.


Plus the sub-floor, often metal raised access flooring, is also contaminated, and has to be made good before the next installation, adding remedial costs for landlords and tenants.


Adhesive-free installation using IOBAC MagTabs and Ezy-Install means the flooring is held securely in place throughout its life, yet lifted quickly, cleanly and easily for repair, reuse or recycling.


A reversible connection that’s better for

  • the environment
  • design choice
  • lifetime value.
