Marmox Self Adhesive Reinforcing Tapes - 20M x 50mm

Marmox Self Adhesive Reinforcing Tape is a high-performance glass fibre mesh scrim tape specifically designed to reinforce board joints and ensure the longevity of your installation. This product is essential for any professional or DIY enthusiast looking to cover all the joints between Marmox Multiboards or other insulation boards prior to finishing.

Constructed from a robust glass fibre mesh, this self-adhesive tape provides a strong bridge over the joints where Marmox boards meet. By bridging these gaps, the Marmox reinforcing tape adds significant tensile strength to the assembly. This reinforcement is critical as it helps prevent any movement in the substrate—such as thermal expansion or contraction—from transferring to the surface, which could otherwise cause cracks in plastering or tiling.

Key Features

• Optimal Dimensions: Supplied as a 20m / 90m long roll, this 50mm wide tape provides ample coverage for large projects, ensuring you can cover all joints where Marmox boards abut with a single purchase.
• High-Quality Material: Made from fibreglass mesh tape, it acts as a durable scrim that integrates seamlessly with tile adhesive or plaster.
• Self-Adhesive Application: This self-adhesive glass fibre mesh scrim backing allows for quick and easy placement on Marmox board surfaces without the need for an initial layer of bedding mortar, speeding up the installation process.
• Movement Protection: It is engineered to handle lateral movement and should be used to bridge gaps, helping to prevent hairline cracks in the final finish.
• Waterproof Compatibility: While the tape itself is a mesh, it is fully compatible with waterproof systems and performs excellently in wet areas (like bathrooms and wetrooms) when covered with the appropriate sealant or adhesive.
• Thermal Performance: Designed to work in conjunction with thermal insulation products like the Marmox Multiboard, maintaining the integrity of the insulation layer.

Applications

Marmox Self Adhesive Reinforcing Tape is primarily used to cover and reinforce the joints between Marmox boards, but its versatility extends to various construction scenarios:

• Joint Reinforcement: It is the standard solution for taping joints where Marmox Multiboards meet.
• Preparation for Finishes: You must apply this tape over joints where Marmox Multiboards abut before plastering or tiling. This creates a stable base that isolates the finish from the board movement. Allow 2 metre of tape per standard size Marmox Multiboard and 4 metre per long Marmox Multiboard.
• Installation: Simply unroll the tape, press the self-adhesive side firmly over the joints where Marmox panels connect, and cut to size. Once in place, tile adhesive or plaster can be applied directly over the mesh to embed it fully.
