Visqueen has launched a new range of high performance Vapour Tapes to ensure complete airtightness for building projects when used as an integral part of Visqueen’s Vapour Check system.
With a working temperature range from -40°C to 40°C, the Visqueen Vapour Tapes are designed for all weather conditions and actively displace moisture, creating an excellent bond to surfaces. Utilising advanced adhesive technology that is 20 times more aggressive than standard adhesive systems at low temperatures, the Vapour Tapes mount Visqueen’s vapour membranes to the building substructures, providing exceptional grip to both wood and metal surfaces whilst ensuring airtight jointing and detailing between membranes.
The tapes are available in two forms, Visqueen Doubled Sided Vapour Tape is 20mm x 50m and provides 250 metres of linear coverage, enough for at least one room, and is less than half the price of standard blue butyl tape per linear metre. The Visqueen Single Sided Vapour Tape is a flexible blue PE-Scrim tape and is perfect for sealing overlaps, detailing and pipe penetration.
