Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this tape fix an active roof leak?
A: This tape works best on clean, dry surfaces. For active leaks, wait for dry weather, clean the crack area thoroughly, dry it completely, then apply the tape with firm pressure. For severe leaks during monsoon, use it as a temporary fix and apply proper waterproofing treatment when the surface dries.
Q: How long does waterproofing tape last on a roof?
A: When applied correctly on a clean dry surface, bitumen-based waterproofing tape lasts 3-5 years on Indian rooftops. The aluminum foil layer reflects heat and protects the adhesive from UV degradation.
Q: What width tape should I use for roof cracks?
A: For hairline cracks, 3-4 inch width is sufficient. For larger cracks or joints, use 6-8 inch width. Always extend the tape at least 2 inches beyond each side of the crack for proper sealing.
Q: Where exactly do I use fiber mesh during plastering?
A: Apply fiber mesh on wall joints where two different materials meet (brick-to-concrete), around window/door frames, over repaired cracks, and on entire walls prone to hairline cracking. It reinforces the plaster and prevents future cracks.
Q: What is the difference between fiber mesh and chicken mesh?
A: Fiber mesh (fiberglass) is lighter, rust-proof, alkali-resistant, and easier to work with — ideal for interior plastering and waterproofing. Chicken mesh (metal wire) is stronger but can rust over time and is heavier — used for thick external plaster and structural reinforcement.
