Tapes for roof, window & facades
Self-adhesive tapes are used in all parts of the construction. They can be used to weatherproof the roof, windproof the facade or even to create an airtight construction. Construction tapes are a great way to bond many different substrates and are used to join and seal different kinds of membranes for a lasting and high-quality construction. Instant adhesion without drying times and a lasting quality is crucial. Besides sealing, tapes offer a great way to fill out spaces within the construction and thereby reducing noise levels and increasing the comfort within a construction.

Proper surface preparation is crucial to ensure optimal adhesion and performance when applying self-adhesive tape. Here are some general steps to prepare the surface before applying self-adhesive tape:
- Clean the surface: Remove any dirt, debris, loose particles, or contaminants from the area where the tape will be applied. It's important to have a clean surface for the tape to adhere properly.
- Ensure dryness: Ensure that the surface is completely dry before applying the self-adhesive tape. Moisture or dampness can hinder the adhesive's effectiveness. If needed, allow the surface to dry naturally or use a dryer or heat gun to accelerate the drying process. Be cautious when using heat to avoid damaging other materials.
- Check temperature requirements: Check the temperature range as specified for applying the self-adhesive tape. Most of our tapes require specific temperature conditions for optimal adhesion. Ensure the surface and ambient temperatures fall within the recommended range.
It's like walking through an open door, but ensuring both the quality and making the right fitted choice are absolutely crucial. Unfortunately, history has repeatedly shown us that opting for a suboptimal option or following misguided advice often leads to disastrous outcomes.
However, it's important to note that the actual lifespan of the tape can be influenced by factors such as exposure to extreme temperatures, and UV radiation for instance through leakage, moisture, chemicals, and the overall maintenance of the roof. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure that the complete structure remains intact and functioning properly. All these factors determine our advice, but also our dedication to manufacturing quality tapes for the building industry.
Self-adhesive tapes have various applications in roof construction. Some common uses of self-adhesive tapes include:
- Seam sealing: Self-adhesive tapes are used to seal seams and joints in roofing materials, such as overlapping sections of membrane roofs, foils, or joining sections. They provide an additional layer of waterproofing and help prevent water penetration.
- Roof underlayment: Certain self-adhesive tapes are designed to be used as an additional layer of moisture barrier and protection beneath the primary roofing materials.
- Flashing repairs: Roof flashing is used to seal and protect vulnerable areas where the roof meets other elements like walls, chimneys, vents, or skylights. Self-adhesive tapes can be used to repair or reinforce flashing, ensuring a watertight seal and preventing leaks.
- Leak repairs: Self-adhesive tapes are often used as a temporary or emergency solution to repair leaks in the roof. They can provide immediate protection until a permanent repair can be carried out.
- Temporary repairs: In situations where a more extensive roof repair or replacement is required, self-adhesive tapes can serve as a temporary measure to prevent further damage or water intrusion.
