HughF Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm looking for a 2" wide air tightness tape to seal the corners joints of my cavity closers, and seal the front edge of the closer to the internal blockwork. From the numerous types available on greenbuildingstore, which one should I go for? It will need to live happily underneath d&d plasterboard reveals...

MikeSharp01 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I've got some which is coated in 3mm acrylic and about 100 wide. I will have a look and see what it is, its GBS. Sticks to anything / everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGP Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I’ve been using Pro Clima Contega Solido SL. It’s insanely sticky, especially when I’ve used the Tescon Sprimer sprayed on masonry. Not cheap mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I used Tescon Vana, available from a German supplier on ebay much cheaper than any UK supplier (but you might now have to pay VAT and duty when you import it. Siga Sicral (sp?) is another really good one but more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGP Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yes I buy it from Latzel in Germany, massively cheaper, and delivery is only €25 flat rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryfountain Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We have a German Build they used Würth Eurosol 60mm wide.The tape is brilliant but expensive. The air tightness test was .83 so obviously does the job . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughF Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Blimey this is tenacious stuff… anyway, it sealed where it needed to seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed an extra roll of airtight tape and bought this stuff to a) see what it's like b) didn't want to wait for tescon Vana delivery! it is very sticky and certainly does the job but, tbh, I prefer the Tescon Vana tape as I like the feel of the material type finish rather than the very plastic feeling AirGuard tape. but it seems to stick well.

HughF Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Ended up sealing all the cavity closers back to the inner leaf and all the corners. It’s horrible stuff to apply into a corner as the release liner is paper, so you can’t easily pull it out from between things without it tearing, and it’s not a split liner. I foamed all the windows inside and out with fm330, didn’t tape the windows back to the closers because I ran out of time before the builders came back and boarded. What’s done is done….
