Key Features of Wykamol Mesh Tape
✔️ Self-adhesive butyl tape seals and reinforces meshed membrane joints before direct plaster or render finishes.
✔️ Textured polypropylene fleece face provides a key for plaster or render to bond across seams.
✔️ Butyl backing bonds securely to clean membrane surfaces, sealing butted joints, overlaps and local repairs.
✔️ Suitable for Wykamol CM3 Mesh and CM8 Mesh where direct wall finishes are required.
✔️ 115mm wide rolls in 25m or 12.5m lengths cover seams, protrusions and detailed repairs.
Plasterable Membrane Tape For Meshed Waterproofing Systems
Wykamol Mesh Tape is a specialist self-adhesive membrane tape designed for use where meshed waterproof or damp proof membranes are being finished directly with plaster or render. In these systems, the joint between adjoining membrane sheets must be sealed, but it must also provide a surface that allows the finishing material to bond correctly across the seam. Wykamol Mesh Tape achieves this by combining a butyl rubber sealing backing with a textured polypropylene fleece face. The butyl backing bonds to the membrane and helps seal the joint, while the fleece surface remains exposed to receive the plaster or render finish.
Textured Fleece Key For Direct Plaster And Render Finishes
The textured fleece face is the main feature that separates Wykamol Mesh Tape from plain butyl sealing tapes such as Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape or Wykamol Corner Strip Tape. Plain butyl tapes are suitable for sealing membrane details, but they do not provide a surface that can be directly plastered or rendered over. Wykamol Mesh Tape is used where the joint needs to be integrated into the finished wall surface, helping plaster or render continue over the seam without losing its key. This makes it particularly useful in habitable internal areas where Wykamol CM3 Mesh or Wykamol CM8 Mesh membranes are installed and a direct plaster or render finish is required.
115mm Tape For Seams, Repairs And Overtaping Details
Wykamol Mesh Tape is supplied in 115mm wide rolls, available in either 25m or 12.5m lengths, giving suitable coverage over membrane seams and detailing areas. The width allows the tape to bridge butted joints while providing sufficient contact area on each side for the butyl backing to bond securely to the membrane. It is commonly used to seal joints between adjoining meshed membrane sheets and can also act as an overtape where a joint has already been sealed with Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape, Wykamol Sealing Rope or Wykamol Corner Strip Tape. In these situations, it reinstates the plaster or render key over the sealed detail and can also support finishing around protrusions, surface damage and failed fixing plug areas.

-
Failed Or Poor Fixing Plug Areas: Can be used where a fixing plug has failed to locate securely or where the membrane surface has been disrupted and needs to be sealed and prepared for a plaster or render finish.
Q) What is Wykamol Mesh Tape used for?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape is used to seal and reinforce joints in meshed waterproofing and damp proofing membrane installations where plaster or render will be applied directly over the membrane. It combines a self-adhesive butyl backing with a textured polypropylene fleece face, giving it both sealing and finishing functions. The butyl backing bonds to the membrane and helps seal the joint, while the fleece face provides a key for plaster or render to grip. This makes Wykamol Mesh Tape especially useful over butted joints, sealed overlaps, protrusions, local repairs and areas where the plasterable or renderable surface needs to continue across the membrane seam.
Q) How does Wykamol Mesh Tape work?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape works by sealing the joint with its butyl backing while leaving a textured fleece surface exposed for the finishing material. The self-adhesive butyl side bonds to clean, dry membrane surfaces and helps create a sealed connection over the joint or repair area. The polypropylene fleece face then provides the texture needed for plaster or render to bond properly. This is important because smooth butyl tapes can seal membrane details, but they do not provide a suitable direct finishing key. Wykamol Mesh Tape allows the joint to be sealed and then integrated into the finished plaster or render build-up without creating a weak or smooth seam.
Q) Which membranes can Wykamol Mesh Tape be used with?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape is designed for use with Wykamol meshed membranes, including Wykamol CM3 Mesh and Wykamol CM8 Mesh. These membranes are used where the internal wall finish is applied directly over the membrane face, usually with plaster or render. In these systems, the membrane joints need to be sealed, but they also need to remain suitable for finishing. Wykamol Mesh Tape helps achieve this by bridging the seam with a fleece surface that supports the direct finish. It is suitable for both Wykamol Waterproof Membrane System and Wykamol Damp Proofing System installations where a plasterable or renderable joint detail is required.
Q) Where should Wykamol Mesh Tape be used?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape should be used anywhere a meshed membrane joint, repair or detail needs to be sealed while keeping a plaster or render key. Typical uses include butted joints between adjoining Wykamol CM3 Mesh or Wykamol CM8 Mesh sheets, sealed overlaps, protrusions, failed fixing plug areas, damaged mesh patches and local membrane repairs. It can also be used as an overtape above joints already sealed with Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape, Wykamol Sealing Rope or Wykamol Corner Strip Tape. Its purpose is to reinstate the textured surface across the detail so the finishing material can continue properly over the joint or repair area.
Q) Can Wykamol Mesh Tape be used over Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape or Corner Strip Tape?
A) Yes, Wykamol Mesh Tape can be applied over joints or details already sealed with Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape, Wykamol Sealing Rope or Wykamol Corner Strip Tape. This is useful because those products create a waterproof seal, but they do not provide the textured surface needed for direct plastering or rendering. Wykamol Mesh Tape reinstates the surface key above the sealed detail, allowing plaster or render to bond more reliably over the joint. This is particularly important on meshed membrane systems where the finish must continue across seams, corners, repairs or service details without creating a weak line, smooth patch or potential debonding point.
Q) How do you apply Wykamol Mesh Tape?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape should be applied to clean, dry membrane surfaces. The tape is positioned over the joint, repair or detailing area, then pressed firmly into place so the self-adhesive butyl backing bonds properly to the membrane. The tape should bridge the seam evenly, with enough contact area on both sides to create a secure bond. The textured fleece face must remain exposed, as this is the part that provides the plaster or render key. Avoid applying the tape over dust, moisture, loose debris or poorly seated membrane, as this can reduce adhesion. Once applied correctly, plaster or render can be carried across the taped area.
Q) What size is Wykamol Mesh Tape supplied in?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape is supplied in 115mm wide rolls, available in either 25m or 12.5m lengths. The 115mm width provides generous coverage across membrane seams, allowing the tape to bridge the joint while leaving enough contact area on each side for the butyl backing to bond securely. The 25m roll is practical for larger membrane installations where multiple joints need taping, while the 12.5m roll is useful for smaller projects, repairs and local detailing work. This sizing makes the tape suitable for meshed membrane jointing, overtaping sealed details, repairing disturbed mesh areas and sealing around protrusions where the finishing key needs to be maintained.
Q) What are the main limitations of Wykamol Mesh Tape?
A) Wykamol Mesh Tape should not be treated as a replacement for every sealing tape within a Wykamol membrane system. Its main role is to seal and restore a plasterable or renderable fleece surface over meshed membrane joints, repairs and detailed areas. For internal waterproof lap joints, products such as Wykamol Membrane Sealing Tape, Wykamol Sealing Rope or Wykamol Corner Strip Tape may still be needed underneath, with Wykamol Mesh Tape applied above to reinstate the finish key. The tape must be applied to clean, dry surfaces and pressed firmly into place. The fleece face must remain exposed, as contaminating or covering it can reduce plaster or render adhesion.
