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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eTextured Fleece Key For Direct Plaster And Render Finishes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe textured fleece face is the main feature that separates Wykamol Mesh Tape from plain butyl sealing tapes such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-membrane-sealing-tape-double-sided-butyl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol Membrane Sealing Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-corner-strip-tape-butyl-membrane-sealing-tape\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol Corner Strip Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Plain butyl tapes are suitable for sealing membrane details, but they do not provide a surface that can be directly plastered or rendered over.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How does Wykamol Mesh Tape work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Which membranes can Wykamol Mesh Tape be used with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Mesh Tape is designed for use with Wykamol meshed membranes, including \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-cm3-mesh-membrane\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol CM3 Mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/wykamol-cm8-mesh-membrane\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWykamol CM8 Mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/a\u003e These membranes are used where the internal wall finish is applied directly over the membrane face, usually with plaster or render.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How do you apply Wykamol Mesh Tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What size is Wykamol Mesh Tape supplied in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the main limitations of Wykamol Mesh Tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Wykamol Mesh Tape should not be treated as a replacement for every sealing tape within a Wykamol membrane system.
