Dry Lining Tape

The key to achieving a smooth, professional finish on your plasterboard walls and ceilings lies in a hidden hero: plasterboard tape. This essential component reinforces joints between plasterboards, preventing cracks from forming and ensuring a seamless, ready-to-decorate surface. At MGN Builders Merchants, we offer a variety of plasterboard tapes to cater to your specific project requirements and preferences.

The Essential Role of Plasterboard Tape:

• Crack Prevention: By bridging the gap between plasterboards, plasterboard tape acts as a hidden reinforcement layer. This minimizes stress on the plaster finish, significantly reducing the risk of cracks appearing over time.
• Seamless Finish: Plasterboard tape creates a smooth transition between plasterboards, providing a flawless base for painting or applying decorative finishes.
• Easy Application: Most plasterboard tapes are user-friendly and can be applied quickly and efficiently during the plastering process.

Choosing the Right Plasterboard Tape:

• Paper vs. Scrim Tape:
• Paper Tape: A traditional and cost-effective option, ideal for low-stress applications and internal walls. Requires the application of jointing compound for secure adhesion.
• Scrim Tape: A stronger and more versatile option, suitable for both internal and external applications. Features a fiberglass mesh core for superior reinforcement and crack prevention. May be self-adhesive or require jointing compound for application.
• Size Considerations: Plasterboard tape comes in various widths, typically ranging from 50mm to 100mm. Choose a width that slightly overlaps the joint between the plasterboards.
