Gapotape eliminates gaps spoiling insulation performance

Gaps can spoil the performance of your insulation by up-to 80% – this can be eliminated by the use of Gapotape.

The Multi Award winning unique combination of foil and foam tape which is specially designed to be used with rigid insulation boards. Not only that - with the recent amendments in Part L of the building regulations, Gapotape allows you to address the stringent changes that are coming into play in June and make you fully compliant.

The recent amendments to Part L which come into play at the end of June is definitely a step in the right direction, with a stronger focus that is cracking down on the poor built quality that happens on site - it is also focusing on getting the building fabric correct, more of an 'Insulate before you generate' approach which is an absolute no brainer. A greater focus on materials being installed correctly, the need for photographic evidence of critical junctions at install, with a real focus on eliminating gaps and increasing the building fabric standards are all going to help dramatically improve the build quality and help save you energy - what's not to like!!

As we now know - Gaps in insulation are known to have a major impact on heat loss and thermal bypass. It also can result in risks of condensation and mould; two things you want to avoid at all cost with a new dwelling. For that reason, a keen eye for detail at both the design and construction stages is essential. Remember that while the new Part L amendments relate to new dwellings, the general principles are relevant to all building types so don't be afraid to install to the same standard. Simply use Gapotape along the cut edge of the boards gaps when insulating roofs, walls and floors. The Gapotape will take out all inaccuracies of the cuts in the board, the unevenness and movement in the rafters & is proven to eliminate air leakage and thermal bridging.
