Product Information
Full details
The WALTHER STRONG HD Aluminium Foil Tape is a high-performance solution designed for professional HVAC contractors, insulation specialists, and DIY enthusiasts working on loft conversions or industrial ductwork. It provides an exceptional vapour seal that prevents cold bridging and maximizes thermal efficiency; however, users should ensure the substrate is completely clean and dry to achieve the maximum bond strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of oils, dust, or grease. Cut the tape to the required length using standard utility scissors. Apply the tape firmly to the joint, using a smoothing tool or gloved hand to ensure full contact and remove any air pockets. Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the life of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Do not apply in temperatures exceeding the manufacturer's thermal limits.
