About Construction Tape
Flashing, butyl, and masking tapes are construction tapes used for sealing, waterproofing, and surface protection in construction and installation applications. These tapes help manage moisture intrusion, protect surrounding surfaces, and control coverage during finishing and surface preparation work.
This collection includes butyl tapes, flashing tapes, and masking tapes designed for use within waterproofing systems, underlayment assemblies, and general surface protection tasks.
Types of Construction Tapes
- Flashing Tape: Used to seal seams, penetrations, and transitions in waterproofing and weather barrier systems.
- Butyl Tape: Pressure-sensitive tape that forms a strong waterproof seal.
- Masking Tape: Used to protect adjacent surfaces during painting, coating, or finishing.
- Specialty Construction Tape: Tapes formulated for specific surfaces or environmental conditions.
How to Choose
- Application Type: Determine whether the tape is needed for waterproofing, sealing, or masking.
- Surface Compatibility: Confirm adhesion to substrates such as concrete, wood, metal, or membranes.
- Interior or Exterior Use: Verify the tape is rated for the environment.
- Temperature Range: Check installation and service temperature requirements.
Common Applications
Construction tape is used for window and door flashing, seam sealing, waterproofing transitions, underlayment seams, and surface protection during tile installation and finishing work.
Waterproofing & Surface Protection
Using the appropriate tape helps maintain continuity within waterproofing systems and prevents moisture intrusion. Masking tapes help protect finished surfaces and support clean edges during coatings and installation.
