Why Tred-MOR?

3 min read

The carpet cushion that has been the commercial and hospitality standard since 1985 — what makes it the choice for high-traffic floors.

Tred-MOR® has been a benchmark for commercial carpet cushion since 1985, with well over 250 million square yards installed. For high-traffic public areas, it is built to keep carpet looking and feeling good for longer.

Built from synthetic rubber

Tred-MOR is made from 100% synthetic rubber, which gives it the tensile strength and resiliency that keep a floor flat under load. Compared with direct-glue or carpet-tile methods, it dramatically reduces the loss of carpet pile height — so the carpet above it wears more evenly and lasts longer.

  • Comfort underfoot — Adds cushioning over the subfloor for a better feel underfoot
  • Longer carpet life — Can extend the life of the carpet above it by up to 50%
  • Quieter floors — Provides strong noise suppression
  • Spill protection — StainSTOP™ construction helps keep spills from reaching the subfloor

Designed for the Dubl-STIK® method

Tred-MOR is engineered for double-stick installation — the standard for commercial and hospitality carpet. The cushion is glued to the floor and the carpet is glued to the cushion, creating one unitary assembly that is safe for foot and wheeled traffic. Installed with releasable adhesive, standard Tred-MOR is straightforward to remove at the next carpet replacement, and faster still with the optional Quik-LIFT® backing. It is also well suited to conventional stretch-in installations.
