Kinetex FAQs

How is Kinetex installed?

  • Installing Kinetex is as easy to install as traditional modular carpet,
    however special attention should be applied until installers gain
    experience with module placement. Installers should perform site and
    material conditioning, surface preparation, concrete pH and moisture
    testing as if the were installing carpet modules. Because it is such a
    light-weight material, the modules cut very easily, reducing
    installation time.
