In below-ground waterproofing installations, the flat membrane provides the main protective layer, but joints, overlaps, cut edges, wall-to-floor junctions, internal corners and service penetrations all require additional detailing to keep the waterproof layer fully continuous. Platon Corner Strip Tape is applied across these vulnerable areas to create a watertight connection between adjoining membrane surfaces, meaningfully reducing the risk of water passing through gaps, cuts or changes in direction within the membrane system where standard sheet coverage simply cannot achieve a complete and reliable seal on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eFlexible Heavy Duty Butyl Rubber For Corners Protrusions And Irregular Shapes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tape is manufactured from a heavy duty butyl rubber compound, a material widely trusted for waterproofing details because it remains adhesive, flexible and resistant to moisture over extended periods of service. This allows the tape to bond securely to clean, dry membrane surfaces and conform closely to small irregularities in the membrane profile or underlying substrate detail. Its flexibility proves especially important around corners, protrusions and uneven shapes, where the membrane may need to be cut, dressed or formed around the structure during installation. By sealing over these interruptions, Platon Corner Strip Tape helps maintain a continuous and dependable waterproofing detail within Platon basement waterproofing, cellar conversion and cavity drain membrane installations of all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003ePractical 150mm Roll Format For Wall-To-Floor Junctions And Membrane Transitions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaton Corner Strip Tape is supplied in 150mm wide by 10m long rolls with a thickness of 1.0mm, giving suitable coverage for more demanding sealing details such as wall-to-floor junctions and membrane transitions throughout the installation. For corner work, the tape is normally folded along its length with the crease set tightly into the wall and floor angle, before the self-adhesive butyl face is pressed firmly onto both membrane surfaces to link them into one sealed detail. On cavity drain installations, a heat gun is often used carefully to dry the membrane surface and assist bonding before application. The tape is not suitable as a direct plaster or render key, so where a plasterable surface is required, \u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Mesh Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e should be used instead or applied over

Corner Strip Tape is used to create watertight seals within \u003cstrong\u003ePlaton cavity drain waterproof membrane systems\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly where membrane sheets cannot form a complete sealed detail on their own. It is commonly used at membrane joints, overlaps, wall-to-floor junctions, internal corners, service penetrations and areas where the membrane has been cut or shaped around obstacles. In below-ground waterproofing, these areas are often the weak points that need extra attention. The tape bridges adjoining membrane surfaces and helps maintain continuity of the waterproof layer. This makes it especially useful in basement waterproofing, cellar conversions and retaining wall membrane installations where reliable joint and junction sealing is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How does Platon Corner Strip Tape work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platon Corner Strip Tape works by bonding over vulnerable membrane details to form a continuous butyl seal. The tape is manufactured from a heavy duty butyl rubber compound, which provides strong self-adhesive performance, flexibility and resistance to water, air and chemical exposure. Once applied to clean, dry membrane surfaces and pressed firmly into place, it helps seal gaps, laps, cut edges and changes in direction within the membrane system. Its flexibility allows it to follow internal corners, wall-to-floor angles, protrusions and minor irregularities in the surface. This helps the waterproof membrane installation remain continuous where flat membrane sheets alone would leave exposed or difficult-to-seal detailing points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Where should Platon Corner Strip Tape be used?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platon Corner Strip Tape should be used anywhere a \u003cstrong\u003ePlaton waterproof membrane\u003c\/strong\u003e installation needs additional sealing at joints, junctions or awkward detailing points. Typical areas include wall-to-floor junctions, internal corners, membrane overlaps, butted joints, pipe entries, cable routes, service penetrations and cut membrane sections. It is particularly useful in basement and cellar waterproofing, where below-ground conditions can expose membrane systems to moisture and water ingress risk. The tape helps connect separate membrane sections into one continuous waterproof layer. It should be used as part of a properly designed \u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Cavity Drain Waterproof Membrane System\u003c\/strong\u003e, not as a substitute for correct membrane installation or drainage detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What size is Platon Corner Strip Tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platon Corner Strip Tape is supplied in 150mm wide x 10m long rolls with a thickness of 1.0mm. This gives it a robust format for demanding waterproofing details, especially wall-to-floor junctions and internal corners where a narrow tape may not provide enough coverage. The 150mm width allows the tape to overlap both sides of a joint or junction with a generous contact area, helping improve the reliability of the seal. The 1.0mm thickness provides a durable butyl layer that can conform to membrane profiles and small surface irregularities while maintaining a strong waterproof barrier. This makes it suitable for professional cavity drain membrane detailing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How do you apply Platon Corner Strip Tape at a wall-to-floor junction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) To apply Platon Corner Strip Tape at a wall-to-floor junction, the tape is normally folded along its length so the crease can be pushed tightly into the internal wall\/floor angle. The backing paper is then removed gradually, and the self-adhesive butyl face is pressed firmly onto both the wall membrane and floor membrane. This links the two membrane surfaces into one sealed waterproof detail. The surfaces should be clean and dry before application, and a heat gun is often used carefully to dry the membrane and assist bonding. Firm pressure should be applied across the full width of the tape to avoid loose edges, air pockets or poorly bonded areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Can Platon Corner Strip Tape be used around pipes and service penetrations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Yes, Platon Corner Strip Tape can be used around pipes, cables, ducts and other services passing through a waterproof membrane, provided the detail is formed carefully. Service penetrations interrupt the membrane layer, so they need additional sealing to reduce the risk of water movement around the cut edge. The tape can be dressed around the service and pressed onto the surrounding membrane to help reconnect the interrupted area into the waterproof layer. The surface must be clean, dry and stable before application, and the tape should be firmly bonded with no loose edges. More complex penetrations may require careful shaping, overlapping or additional detailing to achieve a reliable seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Can you plaster or render directly over Platon Corner Strip Tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platon Corner Strip Tape is not suitable as a direct plaster or render key. Its purpose is to create a watertight butyl seal, not to provide a textured or reinforced surface for finishing materials to bond to. If a sealed joint also needs to receive plaster or render, Platon Mesh Tape should either be used instead of Corner Strip Tape where appropriate, or applied over the top of the Corner Strip Tape to provide a suitable key. This is an important installation detail because plaster or render may not bond properly to a smooth butyl surface. Using the correct finishing tape helps protect both the waterproof seal and the final surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the main limitations of Platon Corner Strip Tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platon Corner Strip Tape should not be treated as a complete waterproofing system on its own. It is a detailing tape used to seal joints, laps, corners, penetrations and cut membrane sections within a correctly installed Platon membrane system. It must be applied to clean, dry surfaces, as dust, moisture, grease or loose debris can reduce adhesion and weaken the seal. The tape should not be stretched excessively, left bridging unsupported gaps, or applied loosely over uneven details without firm contact. It also cannot be plastered or rendered over directly unless Platon Mesh Tape is used to provide a suitable key. Correct preparation and application are essential for long-term performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Isola","offers":[{"title":"(W) 150mm x (L) 10M","offer_id":31423081414755,"sku":"TT25","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/platon-corner-strip-tape-w-150mm-x-l-10m-waterproof-membrane-ancillaries-118.webp?v=1781007786","url":"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/platon-corner-strip-tape-butyl-membrane-sealing-tape","provider":"Platinum Chemicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
