What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape is a standard, medium-tack tape designed for general use, including securing boxes when moving small items during renovation. On construction sites, it’s useful for securing surface protection materials in place like polythene sheeting and dust screens. It holds in place but peels away easily when the work is done.
KEY FEATURES
- Adhesion: Provides a medium tack that holds materials securely during work yet allows clean removal without damaging surfaces.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of tasks such as holding surface protection, bundling light items, and basic masking during painting or renovation.
Good for:
- General masking tape use
- Securing packages and boxes
- Securing floor protection in place
BENEFITS
- Improved dust control: Masking tape can be used to seal plastic sheeting or covers to reduce dust spread during sanding or renovation.
- Simple project labelling: This masking tape accepts writing from markers or pens, ideal for quick notes or surface marking during projects.
OTHER GENERAL NAMES
Sellotape (as genericised from a brand name) or general-purpose tape.

FAQ
Is masking tape suitable for marking measurements on walls?
Yes, it can be written on with pens or markers, and it peels away clean without damage, so it is useful for temporary measurements or layout guides.
Can masking tape stay on glass for weeks without damage?
No, leaving masking tape for weeks can cause residue to build up or the tape to harden, making removal difficult.
