Sealants tapes and profiles

Sealing the timber envelope
Tapes, sealants and profiles are what turn a collection of well-detailed membranes and panels into a genuinely airtight, watertight building. Airtightness tapes bond membranes to each other and to timber, concrete and steel at laps and junctions; EPDM gaskets and compression strips like the FLAT range seal moving or irregular joints; and structural sealants bond and weatherproof façade connections. On decks, joist tapes such as SNAP and DECK BAND UV protect joist tops from standing water, dramatically extending sub-frame life.

Detailing for airtightness and durability
The weak points in any envelope are its junctions: around windows, services, eaves and panel joints. The right tape or profile for each junction depends on the substrate, the movement expected and the exposure. UV-stable products are essential anywhere left exposed, while internal airtightness tapes prioritise long-term adhesion to the membrane system. Matching products to the detail, rather than using one tape everywhere, is what delivers reliable results.

Supply and support
We supply airtightness tapes, sealants and profiles to timber frame and mass timber contractors across the UK, with trade pricing and project quantities. For Passive House and low-energy projects where detailing is critical, our team can advise on the right product for each junction.
