Description
Where joint tape holds boards to each other, edge tape holds them to the building. SupaBord 150 Day Breathable Edge Tape secures temporary floor protection to floors and walls for up to 150 days, which covers most of a fitout programme rather than just the messy fortnight.
It uses a crepe paper backing with a natural rubber adhesive, giving instant attachment across a wide range of surfaces and a low to medium tack that comes away cleanly at the end.

Rated for the Length of a Programme
Most protection tape is sold on initial tack. What actually matters on a construction site is whether it is still holding, and still removable, five months later. This tape is rated at 150 days, which covers the protection phase of most fitouts without needing to be re-taped partway through.
The crepe paper backing and natural rubber adhesive are chosen for that combination. Low to medium tack releases from finished floors and painted walls cleanly, while the crepe backing conforms to the surface rather than bridging it.
Where to Use
- Taping floor protection edges down to the floor
- Securing protection up against walls and skirtings
- Long construction programmes where protection stays down for months
How to Apply
- Unroll — Peel back the edge of the tape and begin to unroll along the protection edge.
- Tape to the surface — Run the tape along the edge of the protection board and onto the floor or wall.
- Press down — Apply firm pressure and smooth the tape down as you go.
- Cut and store — Cut cleanly with a utility knife and fold the edge back against the roll to use later.
- Remove — At the end of the programme, roll the tape up and discard it.
Important Notes
- Rated for up to 150 days, longer than the 90 day joint tape.
- Low to medium tack is deliberate, so it releases from finished surfaces without lifting them.
- Test on any delicate or freshly painted surface before running a full length.
Ordering and Coverage
Each roll is 48 millimetres wide and 50 metres long. A typical room needs tape along the full perimeter where protection meets the wall, so estimate on the room’s perimeter rather than its area, then add the run along any doorway threshold.
The five roll pack is the practical buy for a whole-floor fitout. A single roll suits one room or a small job, and folding the cut edge back against the roll keeps the remainder usable for the next one.
