In modern construction, mounting tapes are widely used. In the window industry, vapor barrier materials are used. They are made of butyl rubber with a cloth or of aluminum foil. Perforated products are made of polyethylene foam and coated on both sides with glue. They are used in the construction of pipelines, ducts and for a wide variety of fixtures in construction.
Mounting tape performs the function of external waterproofing. Using the sealing material, you can completely close all the gaps and get reliable protection against harmful climatic influences. The product is fully ready for use and expands when filled on its own. This happens faster at high temperatures.
The mounting tape is impregnated with a special composition, after which it becomes resistant to
atmospheric precipitation and ultraviolet radiation. Fungi, microorganisms and mold do not affect this material, and these properties do not change with the period of use. The temperature at which the polyurethane foam product is maintained has a fairly wide range.
Why do we need mounting tape, which is used for window systems? Foil tape (GPL) is used for steam, heat and waterproofing. The composition of this product includes foamed polyethylene, which is an excellent vapor barrier. Thanks to this component, moisture does not accumulate. During installation, insulating material is used wherever it is required to protect the window from contact with the external environment. The sealing tape protects and the vapor-tight membrane does not allow moisture to pass through. The waterproofing material is also glued to the slopes. Of course, the cost of such a design becomes much more expensive, but thanks to it, moisture does not get into the room.
The mounting tape, which is used for windows, has a constant thickness. Unwind and cut it right before installation. The window opening and the frame are previously well cleaned of dirt and degreased. The vapor barrier material is installed before applying the foam.
Mounted perforated mounting tape LM is fixed anywhere because it contains holes of different diameters. With its help reinforce brickwork and strengthen the rafter system. This product is made of galvanized steel, which allows it to be used for work not only indoors.
One of the most common fasteners is ventilation tape. However, it is used not only for ventilation systems, but also for fastening containers, when installing cable lines, when installing a warm floor, and so on. The mounting tape GOST 14918-80 is made of hot-dip galvanized steel 08PS.
Benefits of perforated hardware:
- quick grip;
- design durability is provided;
- the ability to work with drywall, which greatly facilitates installation;
- the ability to create hidden structures;
- thanks to the material, the surfaces are smooth;
- allows you to get strong and durable structures.
In some cases, builders recommend installing mounting tapes without fail. It depends on where the house is located and how the walls are insulated. But in any case, it saves heat in the winter season.
