TL;DR
- The UNIJOY Short introduces a sticker-based, glue-free carpet tile installation idea.
- The described approach avoids spreading adhesive over the floor surface.

- Confirm the selected tile, backing, substrate and current system instructions before specifying.
- Send UNIJOY the room and product details to discuss a sample installation.
Direct answer
How are installation stickers used with carpet tiles?
The Short presents installation stickers as a glue-free way to fix modular carpet tiles without applying adhesive over the floor surface. A project team should first name the carpet tile and backing, describe the substrate and intended use, and request the current instructions for that tile-and-sticker combination. Then make a small installation sample and check tile hold, layout and the planned replacement procedure before approving the method for the room.
What the installation sticker changes
A conventional adhesive-led carpet tile plan treats floor preparation and adhesive as part of the installation package. The sticker concept shown by UNIJOY instead focuses on fixing the modular tiles without coating the floor with glue. That can be appealing where the team values access to individual tiles and a clear replacement plan.
The video is a useful introduction, while the specification belongs to the actual tile, backing, substrate and sticker product. Keep those four items together when asking for installation information.

Plan a small on-site installation sample
Start with the carpet tile code and backing. Record the substrate condition, room use and intended laying pattern. Ask for the current sticker-system instructions and the recommended sample area, then have the installer demonstrate the sequence on site.
During the trial, check the appearance of tile joints, edge and transition details, tile security in the intended use, and how one tile is lifted and replaced. Record the agreed method in the installer brief rather than relying on the Short as a method statement.
Make replacement part of the purchase plan
A replaceable modular floor works best when the team also records spare tiles, colourway, batch and access responsibility. Note where spare stock will be kept and who will carry out a later tile exchange. That turns the video's replacement idea into an actionable facilities plan.

Choose the tile before the fixing method
The Short discusses an installation accessory, not a named carpet tile SKU. Browse current tiles, then ask UNIJOY for the suitable system information for the option you select.
Project details for a sticker-system enquiry
The video gives the installation concept. These are the project fields needed to discuss the matching system and a trial area, not claimed product performance values.
| Field | Product or project detail |
|---|---|
| Carpet tile | Current series, product code and colourway |
| Backing | Backing named on the selected tile's product record |
| Floor | Substrate type and current site condition |
| Use | Room, expected movement and maintenance plan |
| Layout | Tile dimensions, laying direction and transitions |
| Trial | Area, installer, approval owner and replacement demonstration |

Two ways to plan the fixing package
Compare the work package for the same tile and room. Obtain the current instructions for either system before specifying it.
| Planning question | Sticker-based concept | Adhesive-led plan |
|---|---|---|
| Floor adhesive | Video describes no adhesive spread on the floor | Adhesive selection and application are part of the package |
| Tile exchange | Plan to lift and replace an individual module | Check removal and reinstatement with the chosen adhesive |
| Site trial | Demonstrate fixing and removal with the named tile | Demonstrate adhesive, open time and tile placement |
| Documents | Tile/backing and sticker instructions | Tile/backing and adhesive instructions |
From idea to approved installation
What to send before requesting a quote
A specifier needs the selected tile and its backing. An installer needs the substrate, room layout and current method instructions. A facilities manager needs to know how an individual tile can be exchanged later. Putting these details in one enquiry makes the answer useful to all three.
Share the floor area, tile code, backing, site condition and target programme with UNIJOY. Ask for a suitable sample and current installation information for the proposed combination.
Installation sticker FAQ
What does a carpet tile installation sticker do?
The UNIJOY Short presents it as part of a glue-free modular carpet tile fixing approach, avoiding adhesive spread over the floor.
Can any carpet tile use this sticker method?
Select the tile and backing first, then request the current matching installation instructions for that combination.
Does glue-free mean no floor preparation?
No. The substrate condition and installation requirements still belong in the project plan.
How do I plan for replacing one tile?
Keep spare tiles from the selected colourway, record the installation method and demonstrate removal and reinstatement during the site trial.
What should I send UNIJOY for a sticker-system enquiry?
Send the tile code and backing, floor surface, area, room use, layout drawing and sample requirements.
Discuss a sticker-system sample
Tell UNIJOY which tile and backing you are considering, where it will be installed and how the room is used. We can help identify the right installation documents and sample route.
