Why do you need G-tape?

Who needs G-tape roof protection tape?

In this review, we want to introduce you to a wonderful product and explain in detail why you need G-tape roof protection tape?

We could praise the G-tape product a lot: excellent parameters, made in the country of quality in Japan, No.1 product in its field in America, etc. But we want to approach from the other side – from the root of the problem.

The team of MDS terrace experts, working for many years and concentrating on the narrow niche of terraces, noticed that the “Achilles heel” of wooden terraces is the node between the lag and the board. In many cases, when customers asked to replace old terraces, arguing that the boards were rotten, because they were already “sag”, we found even worse roofs under the boards – a picture of the terrace structure or what was left of them.

We have seen how some manufacturers tried to solve this problem with “snakes” or some other accessories that form a gap between the board and the lag for ventilation and blowing, but most of the terraces have covered sides, so the ventilation is minimal there, water still accumulates on the lag and creates a comfortable environment for pests to breed.

The G-tape adhesive protection tape for the lags prevents moisture from getting on the lag and forming a dew point under the tape. Because it adheres extremely well to the whole plane, the lage is always dry, and the water drains down the vertical part of the lage. Therefore, by protecting the “Achilles’ heel” of the terrace, you will significantly extend the lifespan of the entire terrace.

G-tape or other adhesive tapes are also used for the metal frame, but they have another function – sound insulation and cushioning.
