Door & Window

Our Glazing and Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) tapes create a seal between the insulated glass panel and window or door material, preventing air, water, moisture, and dust from entering. Typical applications include internal, structural, and window glazing on vinyl, aluminum, and wood.

Our products have been tested with major window manufacturers and passed DP50 requirements and are AAMA/FGIA certified. They are available in double and single-coated blue poly release liner configurations. Available in rolls and spools.

One-Piece Duct Gaskets

Polyethylene (PE) foam material makes our pre-cut gaskets ideal for air-tight seals in the ductwork. Circle gaskets are available from 4” to 24” inside diameters (ID); contact us for squares, rectangles, or other configurations. For your convenience, products are packed individually by size; custom sizes are also available upon request. Duct gaskets are coated on one side or both, with a high tack adhesive to eliminate the risk of delamination and our release liner removes quickly, easily, and efficiently.
