Gyproc Paper Tape 50 x 90 mm

The tape is designed to bond tightly to plasterboard joints and edges, providing a stable backing for jointing compounds. It performs well in damp and humid conditions, helping maintain a strong seal and smooth finish over time.

Key specs: length of 150 meters, paper tape with embedded adhesive, designed for sealing plasterboard joints and edges, lightweight for easy handling, suitable for damp environments and cost-effective for both DIY and professional projects.

Yes. The tape is designed to be used in conjunction with jointing compounds. Apply the tape over the cleaned joint, press to remove air pockets, and then cover with the jointing compound. Let it dry, sand lightly, and finish with an additional coat if needed.

Steps: (1) Clean and dry the plasterboard joints. (2) Cut the tape to a suitable length. (3) Place the tape over the joint and press with a taping knife to smooth and remove air. (4) Apply the jointing compound over the tape in thin coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. (5) Sand to achieve a smooth finish.

Best use cases include internal plasterboard wall and ceiling joints, edges where panels meet, and areas exposed to higher humidity where a strong joint is required. It’s suitable for both renovations and new builds.

Yes. The Gyproc paper tape is designed for interior plasterboard work and uses standard materials common to gypsum board finishing. It is non-toxic and intended for indoor application as part of typical wall finishing systems.

Duration depends on joint length and width. For standard wall applications, a single 150m roll can cover many joints, especially when using thin coats of jointing compound. It’s best to estimate based on panel sizes and joint lengths for your specific project.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture to prevent adhesive deterioration. Recycle or dispose of any waste tape or packaging according to local recycling and waste guidelines.

Yes. Ensure the surface is clean and dry, cut the tape to appropriate lengths, and apply with even pressure using a taping knife from the center outward to smooth out air pockets. Take care not to stretch the tape and apply thin, consistent coats of jointing compound over the tape to minimize visibility.

For tight joints or corners, cut the tape to a length that allows full coverage of the joint without gaps. If needed, slightly pinch or crease the tape along the joint line to help it conform to the angle, then press it firmly into place before applying jointing compound.
