Questions & Answers
How thick is this?
Hi there, This backer board seam tape is very thin—it’s a fiberglass mesh, not a material that adds thickness (Typical thickness: ~0.01 mm (about 0.0004 in.). Approximate thickness: extremely minimal (virtually no buildup) What this means: It will not raise the surface height of your installation It is designed to be embedded into thinset mortar, which provides the strength When properly installed, it will not create a noticeable ridge Bottom line: The tape is for reinforcement only and does not affect floor height or leveling.
Can you use this to tape in bed sheetrock
No, this tape is not meant for taping and bedding drywall joints. It is designed for cement board or backerboard installations (such as around showers, tubs, or tile areas). It's made to resist the alkaline materials in thinset mortar-not just compound. For sheetrock or drywall, we would recommend drywall joint tape instead. Customer Care
Is it paintable
You may paint over the Backerboard Seam Tape. However, we would recommend to apply a coat of joint compound over the tape first which will help fill the gaps and create a smooth, level surface. Customer Care
If it has to be removed, will this tape leave a residue on latex or oil paint?
The Board Tape does not leave behind any sticky residue or debris. Customer Care
Could you use this to support insulation in a ceiling prior to hanging drywall?
No, this tape is not considered "load baring" and may not meet expectations when attempting to support insulation in a ceiling. Always follow the insulation manufacturers specific install guidelines.
Aren't you supposed to let the thinset in the Hardiboard Joints dry first, before you apply the Tape to the Hardiboard Joints?
QEP joint tape has special adhesive coating allowing this drywall tape to outperform other joint sealing methods, particularly in areas of high humidity. Always follow specific install guidelines.
Can this be used to cover the gap between wood panels? And be painted over?
No. This tape is a reinforced fiberglass mesh specific to seaming cement backer board.
Can you join drywall and cement board with this?
I have and will do it again as long as the joint will be covered with tile. I usually do this on the last tile(s) of shower walls where tile meets drywall. I plan that joint to be just a few inches inside the tile area so it is hidden.
