Membrane Tape FAQs

What are building membrane tapes used for?
Building membrane tapes are used to seal overlaps, joints, and penetrations in vapour control layers, breather membranes, and airtight membranes. They prevent air leakage, moisture ingress, and thermal loss, ensuring the membrane performs as intended.

Do I need to use tape with a breather membrane?
Yes, to ensure the membrane remains windproof and water-resistant, all overlaps and junctions should be sealed with single-sided lap tape or double-sided butyl tape for a secure, airtight bond.

What is the best tape for vapour control layers?
For vapour control layers, use Novia Double-Sided Butyl Tape for lap sealing and Novia Aluminium Foil Tape for enhanced durability and airtightness. This prevents warm, moisture-laden air from penetrating insulation.

Can I use standard tape instead of membrane tape?
No, standard tape does not have the adhesion strength, moisture resistance, or airtight properties needed for construction membranes. Specialist butyl, foil, and lap tapes are designed to create long-lasting, high-performance seals.

What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided membrane tape?
Single-sided tape is used for sealing external overlaps on breather membranes, while double-sided butyl tape is applied between layers of membranes for a stronger internal seal.

Can I use membrane tape in cold weather?
Yes, but for low-temperature applications, use cold-weather foil tapes designed to maintain adhesion in freezing conditions. This ensures reliable performance in winter months or exposed environments.

How do I ensure a strong seal with building membrane tape?
Always clean and dry the membrane surface before applying tape. Use a roller or firm pressure to secure adhesion, and ensure all overlaps are at least 150mm wide for optimal performance.

Are building membrane tapes fire-rated?
Some tapes, like Novia AirSeal 310 FR High Tack Sealant, are fire-rated for use in high-specification projects. Always check product specifications to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.

How long does membrane tape last?
High-quality tapes, like those from Novia, are designed to last the lifetime of the building when properly installed. They provide a long-term, durable seal against air and moisture ingress.
