GIB® Paper Joint Tape 150m
$14.95 + GST
GIB® Paper joint tape can be installed using hand tools or mechanical tools.
Joint tape is an important component in a GIB® System, providing critical strength between plasterboard sheets to aid in resisting structural movement (e.g. frame movement).
GIB® Paper joint tape has tiny holes that are fired into the tape through an electrical charge. These holes are created through a process called spark-perforation. The perforations allow air to pass through the tape, reducing the chance of blisters. The small spark-perforated holes leave more of the paper’s inherent strength intact (as opposed to slotted perforations), resulting in better tensile strength and improved crack resistance. In addition, the sparked holes are cleaner, allowing for a smoother finish.
GIB® Paper joint tape is sanded on both sides to provide a high level of adhesion. The high level of adhesion is critical for the final joint strength. The back side that is adhered to the plasterboard is a slightly rougher finish to aid adhesion compared to the front, and the front side is slightly smoother to help create a smoother finish.
GIB® Paper joint tapes have great strength, a strong bond and a smooth finish, and this means less cracking which results in fewer call backs, saving time and money.
GIB® Paper joint tape is available in rolls of 75m and 150m.
