Advanced Vinyl Sealing Tape
“Engineered for Stronger Vinyl Floors.”
FuseMax® 2.0 — Advanced Vinyl Seam Tape
FuseMax® 2.0 is a patented (USA and Canada), next-generation, professional-grade vinyl seam tape engineered to float residential sheet vinyl installations from all major manufacturers.
Featuring a proprietary heavy-duty adhesive system and a precision-aligned silicone centre, FuseMax® 2.0 ensures accurate placement beneath the seam while delivering superior chemical and detergent resistance. This advanced design allows seams to be heat welded or chemically welded on the same day of installation.
With an integrated fluoro-silicone release liner for easy handling and controlled application, FuseMax® 2.0 delivers exceptional seam strength, long-term durability, and reliable moisture protection for high-performance vinyl flooring systems.
Why Choose FuseMax® 2.0
Traditional seam sealing methods can be inconsistent, time-consuming, and prone to failure. FuseMax® 2.0 provides a modern, engineered alternative that improves installation accuracy, reduces risk, and strengthens the most vulnerable point of sheet vinyl systems—the seam.
By reinforcing seams from below, FuseMax® 2.0 helps protect flooring, substrates, and long-term investments while minimizing callbacks and warranty exposure.

FuseMax® 2.0 — How does it work?
Surface Preparation:
Ensure the floor and edges are clean, dry, and free of dust, paint overspray, or
debris. Floors must be flat to ensure proper lay and adhesion.
Tools & Materials:
-
FuseMax® 2.0 Advanced Vinyl Seam Tape
-
Utility knife or shears
-
J-roller or hand roller
-
Tape measure and pencil
-
Clean cloth or shop vac
-
Rolls or Planks of Luxury Vinyl Tiles
* Installation Notes:
-
Apply at temperatures between 50–95°F (10–35°C).
-
Do not install on damp or dusty surfaces.
-
For long runs, install in continuous lengths without stretching.
Step 1 — Dry-fit and align vinyl sheet or panels.
-
Overlap: Lay your first sheet, then overlap the second sheet by roughly 2 inches.
-
Pattern Match: Shift the top sheet until the patterns align perfectly.
-
Double-Cut: Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge to cut through both layers at once. This ensures the edges meet with zero gap.
Step 2 — Position FuseMax® 2.0 centered beneath the seam.
-
Center: Fold back both edges of the vinyl (about 6–8 inches).
-
Placement: Apply the FuseMax® 2.0 seam tape to the subfloor, centering it exactly where the two sheets or panels will meet.
Step 3 — Remove the fluorosilicone release liner.
-
Peel: Remove the clear protective liner from the top of the tape to expose the adhesive.
-
Bond: Lay the first panel down onto the tape, followed by the second. Ensure the edges are butted tightly against each other with no "V-gap" or overlap.
Step 4 — Press flooring firmly into the adhesive.
-
Push the flooring on to the FuseMax Tape
-
Make sure there are no gaps between the panels or vinyl sheets
Step 5 — Roll the seam area for full contact.
-
Adhesion: Use a hand roller or a heavy steel seam roller to press the vinyl firmly into the tape.
-
Technique: Roll from the center of the seam outward to remove any trapped air.
Step 6 — Proceed with heat or chemical welding if required.
-
Seal: To make the joint waterproof, apply a thin bead of liquid seam sealer (chemical weld) along the joint.
-
Cleanup: Immediately wipe any excess liquid with a clean, damp cloth.
