Installation Instructions
TAPE APPLICATION
- Ensure the surfaces to be adhered to are clean, dry and free from oil and other contaminants.
- Ensure tape is centred on join.
- Apply tape, ensuring that the maximum surface contact is achieved by allowing tape to conform to contours in product. Apply pressure with squeegee as you apply tape.
- For thicker foam core products such as Trade Select™ Ametalin ThermalBreak™, 72mm Reinforced Insulation/Ducting Tape is recommended and should be applied as deeply as possible into the perpendicular angle. (Refer to Figure 1.)
- Whenever possible, apply tapes to joins that have a firm backing (e.g. studs or rafters) to achieve maximum application pressure. If this is not possible, then provide support from behind with short pieces of steel studs or timber.
- Taping of joins is a method of sealing joins only, and is not a suitable substitute for mechanical fixing in situations where there may be stress or pressure on the join (e.g. wind loading, etc.). In such cases, a more secure method of securing the join must be considered.
- Store tape in a clean, dry place out of direct sunlight.
