Q: Do I need to apply joint compound before sticking the tape?
No! One of the biggest advantages of the fiberglass mesh tape is its self-adhesive backing. You can apply it directly to clean and dry drywall, cement boards and gypsum boards joints before applying your first coat of compound.
Q: Is this tape suitable for exterior applications?
Yes. Our fiberglass mesh tape is alkali and moisture resistant, making it an excellent drywall accessory for exterior grade cement board cladding when paired with the right exterior jointing compound.
Q: What sizes are available, and which one should I choose?
We offer two convenient sizes: 50mm x 45m and 50mm x 90m. The 45m roll is great for smaller home renovations and repairs, while the 90m roll provides excellent value for large-scale commercial drywall installations.
Q: Will this tape prevent my wall cracks from coming back?
Absolutely. The high tensile strength of the interwoven fiberglass distributes stress evenly across the joint, significantly reducing the chances of structural movement and recurring cracks.
Q: Can I use this on calcium silicate boards?
Yes, it is perfectly suited for high-performance boards like Fiber Cement Boards, Calcium Silicate Boards and Gypsum Boards.
