What are drywall joint tapes used for?

Drywall joint tapes are used to reinforce plasterboard seams, stop cracks from forming and help create a smooth, even surface before plastering or painting.

What types of drywall joint tape are available?

The most common options are paper joint tape and fibreglass mesh scrim tape. Each type is suited to different jointing methods and installer preferences.

When should I use fibreglass mesh scrim tape?

Scrim tape is ideal when you want quick application and strong crack resistance. It is especially useful on joints that may experience movement over time.

Can drywall tape help prevent cracks in plasterboard joints?

Yes. When applied correctly and covered with joint compound, drywall tape strengthens the joint and greatly reduces the chance of future cracking.

Is self adhesive scrim tape easier to apply than paper tape?

Self adhesive scrim tape can be faster and simpler to use because it sticks directly to the plasterboard. Paper tape can provide a flatter finish when it is embedded properly.

Do I need joint compound when using drywall joint tape?

Yes. All types of drywall joint tape should be used with a suitable joint compound or plaster to achieve a strong bond and a smooth, professional finish.
