Installation Guides

PHS Reflecta is a reflective aluminium tape suited to bonding and sealing foil-faced membranes and insulation boards. It is a durable, flexible and effective windtight and airtight reflective membrane joining tape that ensures a long-lasting bond with common construction substrates.

PHS Reflecta provides an effective airtight seal at joints and penetrations. It also allows for sequencing of more vapour permeable materials externally when used internally. Due to it’s metallised, low emissivity surface, it reduces convection heat loss and is ideal for jointing and sealing foil faced insulation boards and reflective membranes. When used to tape foil faced insulation externally, it achieves a windtight layer. It prevents wind-washing, increasing the thermal performance of insulation.

Applications:

Joining reflective vapour control membranes.
Bonding and sealing foil-faced membranes and insulation boards.

Application

Application Guide:

Reflecta tape provides a simple, airtight, self adhesive and reflective surface. When applying Reflecta tape, a clean and dry surface is required.
We recommend using a suitable cleaner to prepare the surface, this will clear all dust and grease away, and create a good quality application surface.
Measure out the Reflecta tape against the application area or measure the area to get a view of how much reflective tape is needed. This will help during application and minimize the chance of waste material.
The tape can be cut easily with a utility knife. To apply, peel away the backing layer and proceed to stick it to the application area, while running your hand against the material, pressing it down. By slowly applying the reflective tape to the application area like this, you can be sure of a good quality application with minimal air bubbles or creases in the material.
Once applied, the Reflective tape will create a good quality, airtight and vapour control layer.
The tape and/or membrane should not be exposed to any mechanical strain
