Tape and jointing

Smoothcoat offer both hand and machine tape and jointing. Both styles ensure a perfectly smooth surface ready for decoration. Whether it be a flat wall, curved features or shapes, we can deliver your requirements.

What is tape & jointing

Originally designed as an alternative to plastering, tape and jointing is the process of re-enforcing (or strengthening) the seams between plasterboards. Joint tape is applied to the gaps between the plasterboard, followed by 3 coats of jointing compound which can be applied as a smooth finish, meaniing only a light sanding is required before decoration.

Advantages of tape & jointing

Time management – plastering often requires a clear unused workspace. However, tape and jointers can work in unison with other tradesmen, ultimatley allowing the job at hand to be done at everyones convenience for a quicker completion.

Cleanliness – tape and jointing uses only a fraction of the material a plasterer would use, leaving less mess onsite. This teamed with the use of our festool sanding machine & dust extractor means reduced mess & dust onsite.

Speed – tape and jointing is a much faster process than plastering. As only the joint is filled it allows more meterage to be covered in less time. Also, with joints drying much quicker than a plastered wall, decoration can commence much sooner.
