Strait-Flex® Tile Tape®

Tile-Tape® prevents leaks caused by common grout cracks. Tile-Tape is applied over seams and corners formed by tile substrate and mold resistant boards in wet areas. Tile-Tape is manufactured from a composite material giving the tape strength and mold-resistant qualities. Two times stronger than paper or mesh tape, it will not cut or snag when applying tile setting compound with a notched trowel.

• Produces straight, strong, and water-proof inside, outside and off-angled corners
• Prevents leaks caused by common grout cracks
• Mold and alkali resistant
• Watertight seams
• Will not cut or snag with notched trowel when applying tile setting compound
• Apply over fiber cement board, green board, mold-resistant board, or water-resistant board in wet areas (tubs, showers, tile counter tops, tub deck, and steps)

• Cut Tile-Tape to desired length.
• Fold in half at center crease for inside or outside corners.
• For inside corners, print-side faces out.
• For outside corners, print-side faces wall.
• Using a 5” or 6” taping knife, apply a liberal coat of tile-setting compound such as latex-fortified mortar or Type 1 organic adhesive to flat joints or inside corners. Press Tile-Tape into wet compound.
