When laying carpet tiles on a concrete floor does it need to be sealed first?

A:No, not necessarily. If the concrete is old and the surface flaky then it\'s good practice to seal the floor first to stop it from breaking up. In which case you can purchase an appropriate sealer or use a watered down coat of our Bond It CTT carpet tile tackifier adhesive before going over again with an undiluted coat prior to installation of the new carpet tiles. If the surface of the concrete is very poor or has craters or large divots in then we recommend you screed over with a self-levelling compound. Otherwise if the floor is clean, flat, dry and sound with no issues then you can either loose lay the tiles straight on top or use a \'low tack\' adhesive for large areas to keep the carpet tiles in place.
