Lok Dots

LokDots is a pressure sensitive adhesive for the installation of EcoWorx carpet tile. This odorless system provides an alternative to wet adhesive, virtually eliminating the issue of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and providing ease and versatility of installation.

LokDots is applied via a durable, lightweight handheld applicator; its triggerless design is ergonomically safe and intended for repetitive use. This intuitive system allows for flexible installation in regard to perimeter and interior cutting. Floor preparation is limited to clearing dust and debris.

A simple solution for even the most complicated installations:

  • Eliminates the odors, curing time and mess associated with wet adhesives
  • Product can be installed at 95% RH and at 12 pH up to 10 pounds, saving on remediation in high moisture applications
  • Efficient installation increases productivity and reduces costs
  • Installs over concrete, terrazzo, VCT, cutback, raised floors, pressure-sensitive and multipurpose adhesives and wood

Shaw Contract carpet tile installed with LokDots are moveable, 100% recyclable, and offer guaranteed reclamation and recycling, contributing toward LEED v4 (Commercial Interiors) Materials and Resources Credit 2, option 3.
