EZ Glaze Foam Tape for Roof Rafters
Reduce friction and silence the creaks!
Easy-fit, noise and friction-reducing foam tape, designed for the EZ Glaze polycarbonate roof system. Fitted on the timber rafters, this 20mm wide, one-sided tape minimises the effects of thermal expansion, enhancing performance and comfortability.
Changes in temperature can cause significant expansion and contraction of roofing materials, which can create friction and noisy creaking. Foam tape acts as a flexible gasket between the two, allowing free movement without noise.
Features & Benefits
- Easy to install – simply peel the backing and press down
- Self-adhesive backing – no need to staple or nail into rafter
- No creaking – eliminates the noise of material friction
- Acts as thermal break – can reduce heat lose and condensation
