Tape for sealing vapor barrier!

[Rowah]

First bought a box from befestigugs...... then recently some of the green ones from byggmax, not much difference really, not sure how many rolls you need to buy from Germany for it to be cheaper than byggmax per roll?

How many rolls were there in a box?

Reviving the thread again..

Since I have byggmax around the corner, their tape sounds interesting, but at the same time, I'm really paranoid, so I'm wondering if there are any experiences that speak against green byggmax tape?

The green one is awesome. Built two garages with the blue one, and a house with the green one. Tested both t-flex and byggmax green, and didn't notice any difference. The blue one, on the other hand, ended up being used as packing tape after I tested the green one.

The blue one is useless

Time for a new order. Has anyone of you ordered from Germany recently?

I can't find the one called TACO FLEX now, just this one. The question is if it's the same?

Have you ordered and tested that tape?
Please get back with a report.

Placed an order tonight. Will get back with a report. ;-)

Have you received the delivery?
How do you find the tape/quality?

 

[martinradbo]

Unfortunately, no tape has arrived yet. Maybe one should start getting a little worried, but it's probably stuck in Suez or something ;-)

 

[martinradbo]

The tape has arrived and been used quite a bit. I find it just as good as T-flex and similar ones. Maybe a bit more flexible, which is nice when going around corners on, e.g., window holes since you can fold the tape around the corner without having to cut it.

Can be recommended even though it's not super cheap. But it is somewhat better ;-)

Thank you for the report!

Do you go off-topic if you talk about tape versus vapor barrier instead?

I'm using T-emballage vapor barrier and taping according to instructions with t-flex (against the pp-surface... it's not mentioned in the instructions which is correct. The text is readable when the fabric is up.)

The tape sticks aggressively as heck at first and it feels just right. My buddy, who is currently working with the same material, calls and asks if I'm having any issues with the tape. No, I say, and check some taping I did 2-3 days ago, whereupon I regret my answer. It turns out that where there was the slightest wrinkle, the tape is coming off...

Would it be off-topic to talk about tape for steam brakes instead?

I'm using T-emballage steam brake and taping according to instructions with t-flex (against pp-surface... it's not mentioned in the instructions which is correct. The text is readable when the fabric is up.)

The tape sticks aggressively at first and it feels just right. My friend who is currently working with the same material calls and asks if I have any problems with the tape. I say no, and check some tapings I did 2-3 days ago, only to regret my answer. It turns out that wherever it has been even slightly wrinkled, the tape comes off...

Was it extremely warm when the tape came off?
These tapes are usually pressure-activated, did you apply pressure along the entire tape line?
I have used etabs green sealing tape with good results, however, the transparent cheaper construction foil tape can fall off.

Now the delivery seems to be faster.
I ordered 10 rolls on Tuesday and today I can pick them up at my agent.

Has it been extremely hot when the tape came off?

I've used etab's green sealing tape with good results, however, the transparent cheaper construction foil tape can fall off.

T-flex:


Tectis stiko flex:


It has been 20-25 degrees and properly pressed. If I were to try to remove the tape now, the membrane would delaminate, the tape is sticking really well otherwise!
The gaps are not big, but if I had built a passive house, these gaps would be unacceptable. The tapes behave the same on both sides of the membrane.
