Tapes

Tapes you can rely on for daily fixes 

Tape is great for holding, sealing, or patching up things. A good roll of tape sticks well, lasts, and works across different surfaces without peeling off too soon. Whether it’s a quick repair in the house, bundling cables in the garage, or sealing boxes for storage, having the right tape nearby saves time and hassle. At Biltema, you’ll find tapes suited for everyday tasks. 

All the tapes you could need 

Having the right tapes ready makes everyday repairs and projects much easier. At Biltema, you’ll find tapes for marking, fixing, sealing, and securing – covering most common jobs around the home, workshop, or workplace. 

Tapes for general repairs and fastening 

For quick fixes, patching, and holding things in place, these tapes handle a range of everyday repair jobs both indoors and out.  

• Cloth tape for strong, all-round repairs and bundling 
  A tough, versatile tape that grips well on rough surfaces. It is often used for patching, bundling cables, and temporary fixes indoors and outdoors.  

• Tarpaulin tape for fixing and reinforcing covers outdoors 
  Designed to stick to tarps and similar materials. Handy for patching holes or strengthening weak points in outdoor covers.  

• Double-sided tape for mounting and holding surfaces together 
  Useful when you need two surfaces to bond without visible screws or nails. Works well for light fittings, trims, or decorations.  

• Adhesive pads for hanging light items without drilling 
  Pre-cut pads with good adhesion for hooks, signs, or smaller objects on walls.  

Tapes for sealing and insulation 

When you need to stop leaks, insulate, or protect cables and pipes, these tapes provide a tight seal and durable protection.  

• Aluminium tape for insulation and ventilation repairs 
  Withstands heat and sticks to metal. Used for sealing pipes, ducts, or insulation sheets in heating and ventilation jobs. 

• Thread seal tape for sealing pipe threads and preventing leaks 
  Thread seal tape/PTFE tape is used for sealing pipe threads to prevent leaks.  

• Self-fusing tape for waterproof, airtight sealing on hoses and cables 
  Bonds to itself without glue, creating a tight seal. Suitable for pipe repairs or cable protection. 

• Electrician’s tape for insulating wires and electrical connections 
  Flexible and easy to wrap around electrical wires to protect and insulate connections. 

Tapes for marking, painting, and packaging 

For safety marking, neat paint lines, or packing boxes securely, these tapes make the job faster and more organised.  

• Masking tape for clean paint edges and protection 
  Easy to remove without leaving residue. Used to cover areas during painting to create sharp lines.  

• Packing tape for sealing boxes and parcels securely 
  Strong adhesion makes it ideal for packaging, moving, or storing items safely.  

• Anti-slip tape for adding grip on smooth or slippery areas 
  Improves safety on steps, ramps, or other areas prone to slipping, indoors or outdoors.  

• Caution Tape for marking hazardous or restricted areas 
  Helps improve safety by clearly identifying danger zones, construction sites, or off-limits areas, both indoors and outdoors. Keeps people out of potentially hazardous spaces.

FAQ

What can tapes be used for?

Different tapes can be used for many different tasks, from quick home repairs and sealing packages to insulating electrical wires and marking off work areas. Some types are made for heavy-duty outdoor jobs, while others are better for light fastening, painting, or creating non-slip surfaces.

What is tape made of?

Most tapes are made from a backing material such as cloth, plastic film, aluminium foil, or paper, coated with an adhesive layer. The combination determines the tape’s strength, flexibility, and stickiness, making some tapes better for heat, moisture, or long-term bonding than others.

Which tape should I choose?

It depends on what you need to do. Cloth tape is strong for general repairs, masking tape is best for painting, and PTFE thread seal tape suits plumbing. Aluminium tape is effective for heat and ventilation applications, while anti-slip tape enhances safety on stairs and ramps.
