Glazing Tape

Material: Double Coated Polyethylene Glazing Tape
Description: Glazing Tape is used to seal glass into wood, aluminum and vinyl frames. The closed cell foam seals against air, moisture, dust and light penetration while serving to fill any irregularities in the sash extrusion. Glazing Tape also provides cushioning, vibration and shock absorbtion, thermal insulation, and sound deadening properties. This product also features good UV resistance. All versions of our Glazing Tape have been AAMA* tested and approved by an independent testing lab. Copies of this approval, as well as test results, are avaialable upon request.
