Installation with Adhesive
With KangaBACK attached cushion carpets that are easy to handle, installation is easy and straightforward for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts.

Any high-quality multi-purpose adhesive can be used with Kanga products for adhesive installation. Be sure to provide proper ventilation, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and consider the following:

  • If possible, pre-cut the carpet 4”- 6” larger than the room’s size.
  • Only a 6” to 9” border of adhesive is required around the perimeter, and a path from one corner to the other forms an “X” shape.
  • Center the carpet piece in the room, allowing 2”- 3” excess to run up the walls.
  • Following the manufacturer’s instructions, apply the adhesive to the floor. Start by forming a perimeter, then a “V” in the center of the room.
  • Use a putty knife to crease the carpet between the floor and wall.
  • Use a utility knife to trim the excess carpet.
  • Clean any smears of adhesive on the carpet surface quickly with water and a clean cloth.
