Seam and flashing tapes are one of those building products that are not widely known outside of the construction industry. Tapes are one of those professional use products that are not always in the foreground but play an essential part in both large and small projects. For commercial construction, their relevance and application makes a job complete.
Seam and flashing tapes remain the strong silent partner in building commercial projects.
So, what do contractors look for in tapes made solely to enhance the strength and viability of every project?
Reliability, dependability and built for purpose.
Can all these things be found in one product line?
We say yes.
Just say THICC.
For when you don’t need all the noise and talk, you just need the best. Let’s take a look at the benefits of seam and flashing tape for commercial projects.
Keeping out potential problems down the line is the main role of seam and flashing tapes. Avoiding damage from moisture and pollutants even excessive air means a higher level of protection all commercial projects need.
Consider the damage water does to any construction.
Moisture warps and lessens the strength of wood and other materials and causes corrosion. Water damage leads down a path of destruction unacceptable for commercial, or any other projects.
Seam and flashing tapes are a force field against moisture infiltration.
So, what can we expect from this superhero product?
That’s easy. All jobs in any construction project can benefit from the best seam and flashing tape
What else makes seam and flashing tape a builder’s best insurance policy?
So, we now know many of the attributes of what seam and flashing tape does for the strength of a building, the formidable qualities not found in other tapes, and the reasons for its use, but there’s one thing you might not have known about this unassuming product.
As we know, these tapes keep out moisture, unwanted air, dust particles and other nasties that will affect the build, but this tape has a lesser-known bonus.
For both home and commercial construction, seam and flashing tape helps with energy efficiency.
How?
Taping gaps and any openings ensure there is a tighter seal allowing a reduction in heating and air-conditioning costs.
Commercial buildings require a whole lot of energy and construction now has the added consideration of becoming more energy efficient.
It may seem like a little thing, but commercial construction now sees this energy cost saving as a part of the marketing of newer buildings. This is an enticement for property buyers now looking to meet the demands of companies wanting a 21st century social nod of approval.
