Tuck Tape Construction Sheathing Tape, Epoxy Resin Tape, 2.4 in x 180 ft (Red)

Product Information

Without sheathing tape, all of those gaps between the exterior OSB panels destroy the integrity and efficiency of the building envelope, in some cases eliminating the envelope all together. Why Choose LP WeatherLogic ® Seam & Flashing Tape There is a reason why tapes are called pressure-sensitive. Applying pressure, usually with a J-roller, activates the adhesive. You have to roll the tape for it to achieve a full bond to the taped surface, and this pressure needs to be applied along the entire length of the tape. It’s so important that you’ll often find the rolling requirement printed right on the tape. Other manufacturers want the tape smoothed with constant pressure using a squeegee or similar smoothing tool. Fix fish mouths

The LP WeatherLogic ® Air & Water Barrier System includes one of the most effective sheathing tapes available to professional builders. When the outside of the sheathing is the WRB layer, as with some installations of rigid insulation and Zip System, these WRB components are not lapped shingle-style. Instead, the panels are butted together and the seams are taped. In these assemblies, the tape is a critical water-shedding component, so it must be installed flat and without “fish mouths”(gaps) or wrinkles that could funnel water into an assembly. They don’t have to be big to be a big problem. Cut out open fish mouths and install a new section of tape. It’s cheap insurance. Pay attention at corners Photo: Colin Russell With tapes that have a paper or plastic liner, the liner must be peeled off before the tape will adhere. Pulling the release paper takes more time, but there’s less risk of wasted tape and sloppy installation. Some tapes have a split liner, so a portion of the liner can be removed at a time; this simplifies taping corners and allows the tape to be integrated with other water-shedding materials after it is initially installed. Make sure that any seam or flashing tape is pushed tight into corners, because any radius in the tape complicates trim and siding so much that inevitably someone cuts the tape with a utility knife, allowing air and water into the corner. I like to tape corners using a tape that has a split liner. I cut the tape to the needed length, remove the liner from one side, then apply the tape from the top of the corner, working my way down, peeling and applying short sections at a time. Once one side is completely adhered, I repeat the process on the other side. Lap shingle-style A “loose” envelope lets air and moisture move easily from exterior to interior while a “tight” envelope prevents undesired air and moisture transmission. A “tight” envelope is typically the goal in North America’s climate, resulting in a high level of control over indoor air quality, temperature, energy consumption and humidity levels.

Construction Seaming Tape 8087cw is designed to seal seams on house wrap and insulated sheathing products. It can also be used to seam polyethylene vapour barrier products as well as to repair holes and tears in these building materials. Taping seams aide in reducing air infiltration, improving the effectiveness of insulation, and reducing heating and cooling costs. Note: The following technical information and data should only be considered representative or typical and should not be used for specification purposes. The LP WeatherLogic Air & Water Barrier System replaces both standard wall and roof panel installation as well as conventional wrapping methods.

Butyl is another common material for construction tape. These tapes tend to be slightly cheaper than the acrylics. Butyls are UV- and thermally stable. They can be applied in lower temperatures, but in my experience, the acrylics outperform most other types of tape in cold weather. Tyvek’s StraightFlash, used in window and door flashing, is a butyl tape. First, nail OSB panels to exterior studs, leaving a 1/8˝ space between each. Then, cover all the seams between panels with LP WeatherLogic Seam & Flashing Tape. All tape should be applied with the most current installation instructions using the squeegee provided in the box of tape . Unparalleled Strength Meets Ultimate Convenience Tyvek Sheathing Tape, PSA068B, is a solid cold-weather polypropylene sheathing / construction seaming tape. Its ultra-strong acrylic adhesive makes it ideal for house wrap or jointing Tyvek sheeting, seaming most major house wraps, and plastic sheeting.

Quality construction tape has two layers of acrylic, butyl, or rubberized asphalt adhesive. Tape must be rolled for the best bond. 3. Reinforcing layer Recently, we experienced problems with a high-performance tape bonding correctly in cold temperatures. At 14°F, the tape was applied at the bottom end of the manufacturer’s recommended application temperature. To determine if the problem was the tape or something we were doing wrong, I decided to apply several different tapes on different surfaces during cold weather. Some worked better than others; as it turned out, the tape we were using was one of the best overall performers. The low moisture vapour transmission rate does not compromise the performance of vapour barriers, making this membrane sealing tape suitable for insulated sheathing products where vapour is undesirable. It is a very cost-effective method and works extremely well. When using the tape, you can produce an item that is the same size as your product. It not only allows you to produce different shapes and angles but also retains the shiny appearance. Use correctly, then it can be used multiple times.The most popular tapes—and usually the most expensive—are acrylic. These tapes can be very elastic; one example is Zip System Stretch Tape. Many can be applied in lower temperatures, and they bond well with most surfaces. In some instances, it may take a few hours or even a few days for the adhesive to fully cure to the taped surface. Most importantly, LP WeatherLogic Seam & Flashing Tape is specifically designed to work with LP WeatherLogic panels to create a continuous exterior air and moisture barrier.
