For external wind protection as membrane/fabric tape width 60mm and for boards 75mm.
Cut to the appropriate length and remove the protective film during installation. Attach the tape to the surface carefully with pressure (hand or roller) from the center of the tape out towards the edges. For longer tape lengths, remove a little of the protective film first, attach and roll out while gradually pulling off the film. Cut to the desired length. With firm pressure over and along the tape, the best possible adhesion is achieved.
Ensure that the tape is secured to half the width on each side. The installation should be smooth and without gaps, wrinkles, or channels. Generally, the membrane should be fixed to the substrate and frame so that
movements are avoided in joints. In case of risk of subsequent movements, the membrane, over or
under, expand by adding some extra material before the tape joint.
Check beforehand to ensure that the disc fastenings will be covered by the joint tape or if this is a requirement from the disc supplier. Apply additional tape if necessary. Taping is done on fixed and fastened discs where one disc meets another. The tape is attached to half the width of each disc.
( 1 ) Always start with the vertical joints under the lowest horizontal joint (if horizontal exists).
( 2 ) Then, if there is one, it is taped horizontally.
( 3 ) Finally, if there is a vertical joint above a horizontal one, tape it with an overlap down onto the horizontal.
Overlap ( A ) = 35 mm ( B ) = 50 mm ( C ) = 35 mm
Connection of membrane/joint seam to window or door frame and insulation gap is done by taping around the installed door or window. (1, 2, 3) The conditions should ensure that the insulation (caulking) is installed and that it is internally airtight sealed correctly with the recommended suitable Sealing Tape T-Flex.
( 1 ) Start with the bottom tape. Depending on how wide the joint gap is and the surface available for taping on the frame (concealed taping and at least 10 mm) - cut the tape so that two drainage holes are formed in both lower corners and at least one in between (one per 600 mm). The drainage holes should be approximately 20 x 20 mm and ensure the evacuation of any potential and unforeseen penetrating running water in the gap! The tape should start and end at the bottom corresponding to the frame.
( 2 ) Then tape the right and left columns with angled cuts and finishes at the lower ends so that the drainage holes are not affected.
( 3 ) Finally, tape the upper tape and the gap
without customized cutting more than length.
Applies to pass-through in windproof fabric or board. Taping is done overlapping in two rounds around the square profile with one piece of tape per edge and round. The first round (A) is done with 1/3 of the width on the wall surface and 2/3 on the profile/beam according to the order A.1, A.2, and A.3. The second round (B) is performed the same as the first but with 2/3 of the width on the wall surface and 1/3 on the profile/beam (B.4, B.5, and B.6).
C. Cutting, folding, and overlapping
The tape pieces should, in each round (C), be completely overlapped in the corners and cut with a razor blade (or cut with scissors), about 5 mm from the innermost opposite corner and outward – diagonally (C.1). Fold out these two flaps towards the respective surface (wall and profile/beam) with pressure (C.2). Smooth and press the material carefully, especially in the inner corners. Then continue the same way around (C.3, C.4, and C.5). Finish by pressing and pushing once more around the completed seal (C.6).
(A) Damage is repaired by overlapping tape strips around the damage by approximately 150 - 200 mm. For horizontal taping, the placement of the strips should start from the bottom and overlap upwards! The joint between tape strips should be at least half the tape width. Smooth out the completed bandage carefully. Reinforce, if necessary, the bandage with one or more cross-tapings in the opposite direction depending on the size.
(B) Open clamp/fastening is taped if necessary. Membrane underlay can also, in case of major damage,
repaired and supplemented with an extra patch of the membrane. Use the same recommended
Overlap all around and tape the seam all around according to point 2.
Use as window sealing with protruding window (door) against solid frame with tape width 150 mm.
The surface of the frame is primarily cleaned by brushing to remove dirt, debris, and loose particles (1.1). The substrate should also be grease-free, and for more difficult surfaces such as porous materials, pre-treatment with primer is required. Test adhesion on the surface first if in doubt! Avoid installation on wet and damp surfaces or with frost coatings!
Measure and adjust the tape lengths for the four sides of the window and the connection with the expansion joints.
The tape (width 150 mm) is equipped with split protective film on the adhesive surfaces (1.2). A is the narrowest
as well as B and C, which are both wider. Fold the tape along the seam on A and B's protective film so that the adhesive side is facing up with the strip so that B and C can be turned in towards the facade/frame. Remove the protective film and expose A's adhesive surface. Attach this adhesive edge to the lower frame of the window and underside towards the outer edge. Smooth out and press the adhesive edge firmly and adjust so that the protruding measurement on each side is at least 100 mm (1.3).
Use rollers to finally secure the tape at all adhesive edge attachments!
(2.1) Continue by removing the protective film from adhesive edge B. Smooth out and press the adhesive edge firmly.
Finish and repeat previous steps with protective film and adhesive edge C. Ensure that the transition
with the tape between the frame and the fixed wall/structure, it occurs as tightly as possible into the corner at a right angle (90°)
as possible. Do not overload the material so that it gets damaged!
Use hands and rollers with pressure on all tape surfaces with gentle customized movements!
(2.2) Grab the corner tip of the loosely hanging edge. Carefully cut, with a razor blade, about 5 mm from the innermost opposite corner and outward – diagonally! Fold these two flaps up against the respective surface (wall and frame) with pressure so that it adheres evenly! Smooth out and press the material into the inner corner! Repeat the same steps for the opposite and other side/edge.
The technique for mounting the ends should be consistently applied to all the strips around the window!
Tape strips are attached to the left and right side of the window
in the same step as items 1 and 2! However, protruding
measurements at the top of the window and for the panels to be
smaller, approx. 70 mm.
Finally, the top strip of tape is mounted on the upper part of the window in the same way as steps 1 and 2. Finally,
feel – press – roll around the window. Any damage or leaks are repaired/taped over with an extra and new strip!
