Sealing tape is designed to prevent the penetration of gaseous and liquid substances into the premises. Measures to seal windows and doors contribute to the preservation of heat in the cold season.
Sealing tapes
Self-adhesive tape is used as the simplest and cheapest means of sealing doorways and windows. The grooves must first be thoroughly cleaned of old cracked paint, dirt and grease, since the sealing tape for windows is always fixed in the internal groove, thereby protecting the wooden part of the window from possible moisture. With a single frame, the tape is mounted on the window sash so that the narrow part is directed towards the room, otherwise, when the window is opened, the gaskets can be damaged. Sealing materials have good adhesive properties, therefore, remain invisible.
Types of tapes
Foam sealing tape is quite flexible, so it can be used to fill large grooves and uneven joints. The disadvantage is that the dust quickly gets wet and adsorbs, so it often has to be changed.
Sealing tape made of spongy cellular rubber has a smooth surface, is easy to clean, insensitive to moisture and does not require frequent replacement. However, cellular rubber is less elastic than foamy material, therefore, it compresses worse. Profile sealing linings are made in different shapes and sizes, they are easy to glue, screw, punch and insert. Fasten linings on the outside of doors and windows to protect the ends of the frames and fastenings from rain flows and slow down moisture evaporation from these places. It is not recommended to compress the profile gaskets during installation strongly, but they should not be installed freely, since in the first case they lose their elasticity, and in the second they do not maintain tightness. The sealing tape may be made in the form of a long sealing belt coated with a non-hardening adhesive layer. Such belts are attached to the outside of the products. Sealing end profiles are used in all modern designs of door and
window blocks. The profile overhead tires are made of profile shells or tires consisting of an elastic material and a special clamp made of aluminum or wood. Sealing tape is usually not used when installing and sealing profile tires.
Roof Seals
Roof sealing tape provides reliable protection of roofs and other flat surfaces from snow, wind, rain and other "whims" of nature. It is able to protect not only the roof from corrosion. Sealing tape is used when mounting piping systems, chimneys, drains. It is also indispensable for the treatment of ventilation systems and during construction work on fixing gutters and pipes. A competent choice of sealing tape guarantees high reliability and moisture resistance of structures. In addition to sealing windows and doorways, this material is used for insulated doors and refrigerator doors. Use tapes for sealing flange joints in ventilation and air conditioning systems.
