Specificity of the construction industry
In the construction industry, the soundness of workmanship and the proper protection of materials and surfaces are of vital importance, both for the responsibility of the facilities under construction and for the image of your company.
That’s why it’s so important to use high-quality products, such as expansion joint straps, edge tapes, stretch film and painter’s tape.
They make construction work go more smoothly, and the end results are more durable and aesthetically pleasing. In this section you will find a wide selection of materials that are ideal for construction, guaranteeing quality and safety in the implementation of various projects.
Expansion joint belts for the construction industry
In large buildings and long structures, such as production halls, warehouses or multi-story buildings, it is crucial to use expansion strips to help distribute stresses evenly. Expansion joints allow the structure to move freely under the influence of external factors, reducing the risk of deformation and surface cracking. As a result, buildings remain stable for years of use, which is especially important in demanding climatic conditions.
In the case of floors, expansion joint belts also act as sound and thermal insulation. They prevent the transmission of vibrations and noise between different parts of the structure, which is important in both residential and commercial buildings.
Edge tape for floor insulation
Floor insulation Edge tape is an indispensable building material that provides proper thermal and acoustic insulation and increases the energy efficiency of buildings. The use of edge tape is particularly important in projects where it is important to separate the floor from the walls and to provide room for expansion of the material under temperature changes. This is a simple and effective way to improve thermal and acoustic comfort in buildings.
Thanks to its elastic properties, the edge tape makes it possible to compensate for movements and stresses resulting from the expansion of flooring materials under temperature changes. This is crucial for underfloor heating, where the floor is subject to expansion and contraction. The edge tape allows you to create an expansion gap that eliminates the risk of floor cracks and ensures the long-term durability of the floor.
Stretch film in the construction industry
Stretch film provides excellent protection during transportation and storage of a variety of construction materials, such as
- bricks
- drywall
- metal
- wooden components
Its flexibility and strength make it easy to use, while effectively protecting products from adverse external conditions.
On the construction site, the stretch film acts as a protective barrier against dust, dirt and other contaminants that may settle on the construction materials. This is especially important for components that must be kept clean before installation, such as gypsum board, aluminum profiles or other finishing components.
Painting tapes for the construction industry
Products such as painting tape make it possible to accurately separate surfaces during finishing work. Thanks to them, you can avoid accidental staining of other elements, which greatly improves the aesthetics of the final finish. As a result, the renovation work is done with precision, increasing the quality of workmanship and customer satisfaction.
We can provide you with various types of tapes – paper tapes (yellow and blue), high-temperature tapes, with different widths and windings.
Corrugated cardboard in construction
Corrugated cardboard is ideal as a protective material during construction and renovation work. It can be used to protect surfaces such as floors, stairs, windowsills or countertops from scratches, dirt and mechanical damage.
Corrugated cardboard is an environmentally friendly product made from recyclable paper. After construction work is completed, it can be collected and reused or recycled, reducing waste.
Thanks to its corrugated structure, the cardboard acts as sound insulation, which can help dampen noise generated during construction work. It also absorbs bumps and shocks, protecting sensitive surfaces from accidental damage.
Strapping (banding) tapes for the construction industry
Strapping straps perfectly stabilize the load, which is crucial in the construction industry, where transported materials are sometimes heavy and have irregular shapes. Banding tapes prevent materials from shifting and tipping over, which prevents damage and minimizes the risk of accidents during transportation. This makes it possible to safely and efficiently transport structural components to the construction site.
Strapping tapes range from polypropylene (PP) tapes to stronger polyester (PET) and steel tapes. In the construction industry, where materials are sometimes heavy and voluminous, steel and polyester tapes perform best because they have high tensile and breaking strength.
Choosing the right type of strap allows you to match the specific requirements of the cargo, ensuring maximum protection and stability.
In addition to strapping tapes, you can also order from us materials such as strapping cart, wire and metal fasteners and tensioner.
Accessories and tools for the construction and renovation industry
You will also find many products that will facilitate the daily operations of your employees like:
- ladders,
- platforms
- storage carts (which allow for the transportation of materials),
- waste bags and racks to make proper segregation for later disposal
- pallet nets
We will prepare an offer tailored to your needs!

FAQ
What types of painter's tape work best in the construction industry?
Different types of painter’s tape are used in the construction industry, depending on the type of surface and finishing needs. Tapes with higher adhesion like blue paper tapes are great for outdoor work or longer indoor painting jobs. Yellow paper tape will be sufficient for short interior painting jobs.
What is the difference between edge tape and expansion joint tape and when is it worth using?
The edge tape is mainly used for thermal and acoustic insulation of floors. It is installed along the walls to separate the floor from the wall, preventing thermal bridges and improving sound insulation. Expansion tapes, on the other hand, act as an expansion joint, compensating for structural movements due to temperature changes. Both products are indispensable for construction work, especially in energy-saving projects and buildings with high thermal requirements.
What are the advantages of using expansion joint strips in construction?
Expansion joint strips are crucial in preventing surface cracks and distributing stresses in structures such as floors, walls and foundations. They make it possible to increase the durability of buildings, prevent stress damage and protect against deformations resulting from temperature changes and building settlement.
What are the available sizes and thicknesses of stretch film for construction applications?
Stretch films used in the construction industry come in a variety of thicknesses – typically from 17 to 30 micrometers – and widths from 10 cm to 50 cm, allowing them to fit a variety of needs and types of construction materials. Thicker films work better for securing heavy materials and larger loads, while thinner films are sufficient for smaller items and less demanding protections.
How to properly apply painter's tape on a construction site to avoid leaving marks?
To avoid leaving traces of painter’s tape, remove it before the paint is completely dry – preferably within an hour of painting. It is also worth choosing a tape with the right adhesion for the type of surface. On smooth and delicate surfaces, low-adhesion tapes are recommended, which can be easily peeled off without leaving adhesive residue.
What thicknesses of corrugated cardboard are available and which one will work best in the construction industry?
Corrugated cardboard comes in a variety of thicknesses – from thin, single-layer to multi-layered, thicker sheets. Two-ply cardboard is most often used to protect building surfaces, providing adequate strength and cushioning. Single-ply cardboard will work well in less demanding applications, such as for light protection during small painting jobs. Thicker, multi-layered cardboard is ideal for securing heavy materials or larger areas, where solid impact protection is required – in such a situation, if some tools such as a hammer fall out of your hand, it will not cause damage, unlike securing floors with foil alone.
What strapping is best for securing heavy loads?
For heavy loads in the construction industry, steel and polyester (PET) tapes are best suited, with high tensile and breaking strength. Steel straps are ideal for securing very heavy items such as steel beams or precast concrete, while PET straps are often used for lighter but still demanding loads.
