Types of Construction Tapes
As a construction tape manufacturer, we offer tapes for different phases of building projects, with various backings and adhesion levels available. Our construction tapes are designed to protect finished surfaces like windows, flooring, countertops, and trim from dust, paint, scratches, and debris during construction and renovations. Each tape removes cleanly without leaving residue, so surfaces stay damage-free from rough-in through final walkthrough.
Blue Painter’s Tape
Blue Painter’s Tape is a crepe paper tape that creates clean edges on drywall, glass, hardwood floors, and wood trim. It is used around baseboards and window and door frames during construction applications, and it can stay in place up to 21 days with clean removal.
Green Masking Tape
Green Masking Tape is a high-tack adhesive crepe paper tape for textured and rough surfaces. In construction environments, it is used to mask off areas during painting, particularly on surfaces that require higher adhesion, such as exterior walls. It is also used to protect surfaces during sandblasting applications. Green Masking Tape can stay in place up to 14 days, and it does not rip, peel, crack, or leave residue during removal.

Types of Protective Films for Construction Surfaces
Protective film is used to protect finished surfaces while work is completed around it. Our construction films are made from polyethylene with a solvent-free, water-based acrylic adhesive.
Floor Protection Film
Floor Protection Film covers LVP, laminate, ceramic tile, and stairs on active job sites. It is blue, low tack, and comes in 2.1 mil and 3 mil grades. Our Floor Protection Film is used to prevent tracking in dirt and germs, as well as preventing damage to newly installed flooring before renovations and building are complete.
Window Protection Film
Window Protection Film is used to cover and protect windows from overspray, plastering, damage, and debris during construction. It can be used for up to 90 days, indoors or outdoors. Our Window Protection Films feature UV inhibitors that allow for clean removal after sun exposure. The film is applied to the window frame but also guards glass against damage, paint, and mortar splatter.
Counter Protection Film
Counter Protection Film is a clear polyethylene film for natural stone, engineered quartz, solid surfaces, and tile. It is available in 2.1 mil or 3 mil film and protects against scratches, contamination, and paint.
Carpet Protection Film
Carpet Protection Film is a reverse-wound film for easy unrolling, designed for synthetic carpet fibers, including nylon and polyester. It protects against germs, dust, and debris during construction and can stay down for up to 45 days.
Building Panel and Roofing Protection Film
Building Panel and Roofing Protection Film protects metal roofing and siding panels through installation until building is complete. It includes a 6-month UV additive and is available in various mil thicknesses and adhesive levels depending on the texture of the panels and roofing requirements.
Duct Protection Film for HVAC
Duct Protection Film closes off open ductwork and HVAC fixtures until they are installed. The film protects ductwork from debris and particle contamination before use.
Cabinet Protection Paper
Cabinetry Protection Paper is a low-tack paper, not a film, that protects cabinets and woodworking projects. The paper removes clean without leaving residue. It can be used on painted wood and laminate surfaces.
