Increasingly, a phrase such as “perforated tape” began to appear in everyday life. If earlier this concept was mainly associated with computers, now it has firmly entered the terminology associated with the construction and repair of buildings and structures.
Material Overview
On sale there are a huge number of products called "perforated tape." Moreover, this product can be made from a variety of materials. The choice of building material directly depends on where and for what purpose it is planned to use perforated tape. So, on sale you can find products made of
galvanized steel and coated with a special polymer layer. Such a perforated tape is used to create suspension systems and the construction of fixing clamps. Most often, such materials are used in the installation of plumbing and
ventilation systems, as well as in
general construction works. This perforated tape has a width of 20 mm and its thickness is 0.5 mm. Rolls are sold in lengths of 10, 15, 25 m. On this tape there are main mounting holes for M8 screws, as well as additional ones for M3 screws. On sale you can find tapes of other sizes (width - 12-30 mm; thickness - 0.55-1 mm), which have not yet gained wide popularity.
Main characteristics
Perforated tape can be made from other classes and types of steel, but it must be galvanized (to prevent oxidation). It should have high strength, withstand increased tensile forces (not less than 100 MPa). The minimum term of such hardware materials is 10 years. The perforated mounting tape is attached to the structures using self-tapping screws or dowels. The main advantage of perforated tape is the presence of a huge number of holes of different diameters. This hardware carefully insures the fastening of structures. At the same time, there is no need to worry about a perfect insert, since there is no weakening of the strength of the main nodes. Mounted
perforated tape enables nail fasteners. It reduces labor costs, improves the appearance of structures, strengthens the strength of structures. Perforated mounting tape, the price of which is quite low (150 rubles / packing of hardware 25 m long), can be used in the manufacture of a variety of designs.
Perforated Polycarbonate Tape
In addition to
fasteners made of galvanized steel, one can find on sale a perforated tape with a microfilter, which is specially designed to seal and protect cellular polycarbonate from dirt and dust. This self-adhesive, durable and low-cost building material follows the temperature fluctuations of the panels. In this case, the tape creates the necessary microclimate inside the polycarbonate honeycomb. The service life of this material is 10 years. It tolerates
ultraviolet rays, low and high temperatures, and high humidity. This silver tape has an adhesive layer of high adhesion. There are several types of width of the punched tape for polycarbonate: for the panel 4-10 mm - 25 mm: 16-25 mm - 38 mm; 32-40 mm - 50 mm.
