Tapes and seals for joints

Once the boards or sheets are laid, seams, laps and penetrations still need attention. These are the points where adjoining layers must connect. Tapes and seals help finish these details. SteelProfil can help choose an accessory for the surface and the function it must perform in a roof, wall or insulation layer.

Small components, different jobs

Tape for a PIR joint, a gasket beneath a flashing and a profile filler for a metal sheet do different jobs. Width alone is not enough to select them. Check the material, service conditions and compatibility with the substrate. A product matched to the detail lets you form the joint as specified.

The right tape seals the joints of boards with compatible aluminium facings. On a metal roof, shaped seals may fit between the sheet profile and a flashing. Other junctions call for a flexible seal. Describe the intended result so we can check which accessory works with the main material.

Seal the joints while they are accessible

Plan joints and service penetrations in a loft before fitting the internal lining. On a sheet metal roof, select seals together with the flashings. This avoids reopening work to reach missed details. In rooms with many services, measure the perimeter of each penetration as well as the straight seams when calculating the material allowance.

Prepare the substrate as directed for the tape. A clean surface and adequate pressure help the adhesive bond. For a gasket, match the shape and dimensions to the installation point. Check these requirements when ordering so the installer receives components suitable for the specified method.

Accessories are needed for industrial buildings, roof repairs and small interior insulation projects alike. Estimate quantities from the board or sheet layout, the joint lengths and the number of details. Building area alone will not tell you how much tape or sealing material you need.

Complete the materials list for the final joints

Selected tapes and seals are available from stock. SteelProfil’s wider range includes panels, sheet metal and insulation in first and second grade. Ask about current prices and promotions when comparing the full order. We can check that the accessories suit their intended use in the assembly.

Show us the board joint or flashing you plan to install. We can help determine the type of seal and length required. Ordering tapes and seals while the details are being planned makes it easier to finish the roof or insulation without improvised connections.
