Tape for sealing vapor barrier!

[Västerhaninge 17]

I can only agree with the chorus, do NOT buy the blue byggmax tape, totally worthless. It comes off after a while

T-flex is expensive but works

I've wrapped an entire house with 1.5 floors, the ventilation pipes cause a lot of problems when they go through the vapor barrier

NOTE do not use duct tape/fabric tape, the adhesive dries after a few years, I've seen it myself in other houses

Yep, I did, and will do it again today. Took about a week, Schenker lost the package the first time. But they quickly sent a new one after talking to Schenker, so customer service seems to work well.

Haven't gotten around to ordering yet, probably used up some roll of t-flex so far, but I guess it has to happen now. I'm wondering how you paid them, they have a lot of options that I haven't quite figured out (despite some German courses in ancient times)

OK, so Byggmax tape is completely out. I just placed an order for a bunch of rolls after RickeP's tip. The local XL-bygg wanted almost 300 kr per roll of T-flex and I consider that pure extortion.

I can only agree with the crowd, DO NOT buy byggmax blue crap tape, it's totally useless. It peels off after a while

I use a rörkrage for my pipes. I think it simplifies a lot.

Oh well, I've ordered now, so we'll see how it goes...

edit, at first I thought you had to register with moneybookers but you didn't need to (verified by visa did go through them, but without registration)

This should work for sealing around windows?

Or what have you used for sealant on the backer rod?

Well, you have to use Google Translate sometimes
I paid with PayPal, but it probably works just as well with card or bank transfer.
You get a small discount with a bank transfer.

Is it possible to see what is happening with the order? They have received the order and received the payment, that is still the only thing I can read with them since day one, when I log in at befestigungsfuchs.de

Now I have bought two rolls of T-FLEX at 249 kr plus two mounting adhesives TACK HTX at 159 kr from Beijer. A total of 816 kr, expensive yes, but I hope I can return half. Are these the optimal products?

T-Flex and Taco-Flex are made by the same company, D-Tack
I would say with 99% certainty that it is the exact same tape, even the names are not directly different

So just go ahead and order and tape on

On mine it says

I thought I’d mention that Tesa seems to have a tape that you can also stick to other materials tesa Seal Flex 60073
