Foil tape is used as a vapour barrier between insulation panels that are foil-faced in roofs and walls. This is self-adhesive, heat and light reflective, and can be moulded to any profile, while also offering high strength and durability.

It can also be used to seal ducts on air conditioning and protecting wires and pipes from heat. Sealing edges of multifoil insulation with foil tape can also be beneficial to further increase the insulation levels.

When sealing overlaps between membranes and sealing membranes onto smooth surfaces, double-sided tape is useful and works well even when humidity levels are high.

Butyl tape is most often used to seal holes created when nails are used to attach underlays to the roofing structure, and for sealing underlays, air barriers or vapour control layers to smooth and rough surfaces without the need for nails.

Weatherproof tape is a great choice of flashing tape when looking to repair pvc or polythene sheets, repairing cracks in glass and acrylic, and more. It has aggressive adhesive to ensure strength and durability and can be purchased clear to prevent obscuring light or vision.

If installing a breather membrane, you will need breather membrane tape. This is hot melt, pressure-sensitive tape that can be integrated with breather membrane to affix it between sheets or to other surfaces to create an airtight and rainproof seal.

Duct tape and gaffer tape are great multipurpose, pressure-sensitive tapes that can be used in a range of ways across construction, commercial and home use, with fabric reinforcement to increase strength.
