Tapes

Our wide range of tape types covers all your needs, from foil tape for installing or insulating air ducts to multi-purpose duct tape, drywall joint tape, double-sided tape, mounting tape, and much more. Whether you're patching, hanging or repairing, we've got the tape you need to get the job done.

Is there a difference between masking tape and painter's tape?

Yes. The adhesive used on masking tape is stickier and designed not to come off. Painter's tape is made with a low-tack adhesive that is easier to remove and leaves less residue.

What is painter's tape used for?

Painter's tape marks off areas of a surface that you do not want to paint and makes painted lines straight and sharp. Use it around baseboards, edges and fittings to keep them clear of drips.

Will painter's tape damage surfaces?

It shouldn't. Painter's tape typically features a lower degree of stickiness than other kinds of tape, but exercise caution when removing it just to be safe.

How do I remove painter's tape safely?

Wait until the paint is completely dry, then score the edge of the tape with a putty knife. Then, carefully peel the tape off at a 45-degree angle and clean the area when finished.
