Flashing Tape

Sealants and Tools Direct stock a selection of flashing tapes which are waterproof and weatherproof. Flashing Tape is a waterproof membrane that is used to form a tight seal around openings in exterior walls, preventing moisture from getting into the fabric of the building. This type of tape is suitable as a replacement for caulking which can deteriorate over time. It’s manufactured from aluminium foil and an adhesive strip which moulds itself to the surface, forming a watertight seal around pipes, joints, gutters and glazing. Many roofers will use flashing tape due to the excellent waterproofing properties before installing shingles. One of the benefits of flashing tape is that it’s lightweight so it can be conveniently carried by roofing and construction teams. It’s also easy to dispense offering a clean, quick method of sealing openings, around joints and glazing. Commonly used around roof windows, adjoining roofs and chimneys, flashing tapes will help to reduce water seeping into the building which, over time can cause damage. We offer customers an extensive range of flashing tapes for all types of waterproof sealing. The tapes are available in many different colours and sizes to suit and they can blend into the surroundings, so they don’t stand out. We hope that you can find everything you need on our website, but if you can’t or you want to find out more about our flashing tapes or to ask us a question about our products, please contact our team.
