Contractor Testimonials
Here’s what leading flooring contractors have to say about using our reversible floor fixings for their projects
Wrenalls
“Having helped Forbo with all the testing for the IOBAC products, I knew the value they could add to this project.
Using a dry-tack adhesion method, each Tab-It is placed on the subfloor with the carpet tile then securely attached in the normal way.
Not only does this mean the floor covering can be easily removed, ideal if individual tiles need to be replaced due to damage, but it also allows the flooring to be easily recycled as there’s no adhesive residue.”
Shaun Bradbury I Managing Director
Project: Lancashire Business Park
Commercial Flooring Company
“Thanks to IOBAC’s MagTabs, it took a team of three fitters around five days to install 900m2 of flooring in a herringbone pattern, which is challenging to install and would have taken much longer to do through traditional methods.
This provided a great time saving and allowed the other trades to work around us whilst we fitted the flooring.”
Daniel Hassan I Operations Manager
Project: Akoya House
Bramhall Flooring
“We have used MagTabs on a couple of installations now and can say we are very impressed. We fitters were skeptical at first but after using the product, are totally on board with the process.
MagTabs make the installation easier as there isn’t any waiting time for adhesives to cure. We don’t need full areas as we can move forward with little interference from other trades walking in adhesive.
As the product doesn’t contaminate the subfloor, clients can now take uplift materials when required with no damage to the subfloor. The raised access floor is clean and no further preparation is required before laying any subsequent floors.”

Westcotes Flooring Company
“Furthering its circular approach to floor installation, Westcotes Flooring is proud to use adhesive-free magnetic tab technology where possible for its carpet tile installations which covers only 4% of the floor, enabling quick and clean uplift of flooring with no adhesive contamination to either the floorcovering or subfloor. This means that the flooring can be either recycled or reused.” A Contractor’s View on Sustainability
“In the past year we have started using this technology as well. For example, a big benefit in, for example, the fit-out sector as it doesn’t contaminate the raised access floor, which is a significant cost benefit to the client.” CFJ – A matter of sustainable practice
“Westcotes Flooring Company really enjoyed installing the soft flooring at Manbre Wharf, all the carpet tiles on the raised access flooring were installed on Circular Building Solutions adhesive-free MagTabs to add to the circularity and sustainability values within the building.”

“I wanted to confirm that the use of MagTabs at Unilever has gone very well to date, we have not experienced any issues with the installation method and we are happy with the outcome.”
Nick Perkins I
Divisional Managing Director (Fit-out)
Project: Unilever
“This project proved to be a very good test for IOBAC MagTabs, as it was not just a standard straight lay design.
The MagTabs stood up to the mark well, and performed as well as or better than other installation methods I’ve worked with.
I’d be more than happy to use it again on other projects.”
