Questions and Answers:

FAQs About Aquaseal Wet Room Waterproof Tanking Corner Tape 10m:

1. What is the primary purpose of the Aquaseal Tanking Corner Tape?
The Aquaseal Tanking Corner Tape is specifically designed to provide extra reinforcement at vulnerable points in waterproofing systems, such as internal corners, edges, and joints. Its flexible yet durable construction ensures that these critical areas are sealed effectively, preventing water ingress that could lead to long-term moisture damage or structural issues.

2. Can the tape be used with any waterproofing membrane?
Yes, while the tape is optimized for use with Aquaseal waterproofing systems, it is compatible with most tanking membranes and primers. Its versatility makes it suitable for integration with other waterproofing solutions, provided they are designed for similar applications.

3. How does the tape handle movement in the substrate?
The tape is designed to accommodate minor movements in the substrate, such as those caused by thermal expansion or slight settling. Its flexibility ensures the waterproof barrier remains intact, even in areas prone to movement, making it highly reliable for long-term use.

4. What is the best way to prepare surfaces before applying the tape?
Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles to ensure optimal adhesion. Applying a primer to porous substrates like concrete or plasterboard is highly recommended to enhance the bond between the tape and the surface.

5. Can this tape be cut to fit specific lengths or angles?
Yes, the tape can be easily trimmed to the desired length or shape using scissors or a utility knife. This makes it simple to customize for complex layouts or irregularly shaped corners and joints.

6. Is the tape waterproof on its own, or does it require additional materials?
The tape is not designed to act as a standalone waterproofing solution. It must be embedded within a tanking membrane system to create a fully watertight barrier. The membrane provides the primary waterproofing layer, while the tape reinforces critical areas.

7. Can tiles be installed directly over the tape?
Yes, once the tanking membrane is applied over the tape and has fully cured, tiles or other finishes can be installed directly onto the surface. This ensures a professional and seamless finish in wet rooms, shower enclosures, or other waterproofed areas.

8. How does the tape protect against long-term water damage?
By reinforcing corners and joints, the tape prevents weak points that can allow water to seep through over time. This protection ensures the underlying structure remains free from water damage, mould growth, and rot, significantly extending the lifespan of the waterproofing system.
