Lees Carpets introduces the PermaLink technology, a system designed to simplify carpet replacement by allowing new carpet installation over existing carpets without removal. This system is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and minimizes workplace disruption.

Facility Benefits
The PermaLink system offers ergonomic benefits by recycling old carpet into cushion, reducing leg and back fatigue, and extending the life of floor coverings. It is immediately accessible to foot traffic and comes with a lifetime warranty ensuring dimensional stability and permanent adhesion.

Performance Advantages
The system enhances floor performance by maintaining a Class I fire rating, providing dimensional stability, and allowing for the releasability of new carpet tiles. It is compatible with the Lees LIFT® system and can be reused for future installations.

Environmental Benefits
PermaLink diverts carpet from landfills, recycles old carpet, and is CRI Green Label certified. It eliminates indoor air quality issues associated with dust and debris during carpet removal and meets VOC limits set by regulatory bodies.

Economic Benefits
The system reduces costs by eliminating disposal and removal fees, mitigating asbestos abatement, and reducing floor preparation and cleanup costs. It speeds up installation and minimizes workplace disruption.

Common Issues in Carpet Replacement
Challenges include asbestos removal, carpet disposal, workplace disruption, and air quality concerns. The PermaLink system addresses these by stabilizing the existing floor and providing a new adhesive layer without the need for seam tapes or welders.

Product Engineering
The system consists of a permanent adhesive layer, a high-performance stabilizing film, a releasable adhesive, and a protective paper layer. This construction ensures stability, ease of use, and future reusability.

Conclusion
Lees Carpets' PermaLink technology offers a sustainable, efficient, and effective solution for carpet replacement, promoting better quality of life and environmental sustainability.
