Batten Tape
Vinyl batten tape provides a quick fastening method for stapling plastic film to wood framing. Just staple every 4 inches through the tape and the plastic film into the wood. The tape will act as a batten strip to hold the plastic film in place. The tape is very flexible and easy to use -- unroll, hold in place, and staple. It is white and contributes to a neat and attractive structure.
To remove the plastic film, pull on the tape and the staples will come out. Batten tape is a white vinyl strip 3/4" wide and 1/329' inch thick. It is formulated to resist cold cracking.
Our Batten Tape is available in rolls of 500' and 1000' in cases of 4 rolls.
