CBS LE-Tab™ – Reversible floor fixings for use with lower energy backed carpet tiles
Doubled-sided dry-adhesive tab ideal for adhesive-free installation of lower energy backed carpet tiles, +4mm Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT), and woven vinyl tiles.
Protection of high value sub-floor assets – LE-Tab attaches to the subfloor via a releasable film that holds horizontally but allows vertical removal from subfloors including:
– Marble, wood, mosaic, concrete, plywood and chipboard
– Temporary overlay solution needed for the short term
2-Dimensional Hold – The tiles are held together horizontally and held to the subfloor with the weaker releasable film. The LE-Tab will grab to the lower energy backing of the newer, more sustainable floor backings and will protect the subfloor from any contamination.
Hard to shift, Easy to lift – Tiles can be uplifted cleanly and easily without damaging the sub-floor or flooring itself, supporting easier reuse and recycling and protecting building assets.
Trusted performance – Incorporates the same proven chemistry as our IOBAC MagTabs® which is used and/or approved by 16 leading flooring manufacturers, and proven across a wide range of high profile projects.
Industry Recognition
ENHANCED CIRCULARITY
– Flooring is more easily reused or recycled via manufacturer take-back schemes, eliminating landfill waste
– Material reuse contributes towards credits in sustainability assessment certifications such as BREEAM, SKA ratings and LEED – Embodied carbon reduced by up to 80% – independent testing demonstrates a lower upfront embodied
carbon vs adhesive, plus potential additional savings in Module D through material reuse
SITE EFFICIENCY
– Quick, odour-free installation with no drying/waiting time required – wet trades eliminated – More efficient programming as trades can work around each other more effectively
– Flooring can be trafficked immediately, minimising disruption to building operations
– VOCs associated with adhesive-based methods eliminated – improved Indoor Air Quality for contractors and occupants
ECONOMIC VALUE
– Asset value of sub-floor retained – Damage, mess, cleaning and remediation costs in between leases eliminated (typically £9-15 per sqm)
– Significantly reduced disposal and dilapidation costs – Material efficiency: 4% coverage vs full-spread materials
– Whole life cost comparison show installation with reversible fixings to be 40% less than traditional methods
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
– Universally compatible across brands and flooring types – not limited to one type
– Used and/or approved by 16 leading flooring manufacturers of carpet tile, LVT and woven vinyl tile – Seamlessly combine different flooring types and brands in the same space
– Easily deconstruct and repurpose spaces
Compatible Floor Covering Types:
– Lower energy backed carpet tiles – Luxury Vinyl Tile (4mm thickness and above)
– Woven vinyl tile
Compatible Sub-floors:
– Marble, wood, mosaic, concrete, plywood and chipboard
and can be used as an overlay system over existing flooring

VOC Emissions Testing
EN16516 tests construction products for emissions into indoor air of regulated dangerous substances such as VOCs, very volatile aldehydes.
1D-Tab uses the same proven chemistry as MagTabs. Independent testing has confirmed that MagTabs comply with the “Exemplary” criteria on VOC emissions for BREEAM and exceeded all points for LEED specification.
