Question 1

Which surfaces work best with painter's tape?

Accepted Answer

Painter's tape works best on smooth, clean surfaces where it can adhere well and remove cleanly without damaging the finish. The best surfaces for painter's tape include ceramic, glass, and paper.

Question 2

How much tape do I actually need for what I usually do?

Accepted Answer

The amount of tape you need depends on room size, tape width, and project type. For painting a room, measure the linear footage of edges you need to tape, and select either a standard tape width for trim, walls, and ceilings, or a wider tape for more coverage at a slightly higher cost. Expect to use two to three rolls to repaint a bedroom, one roll to paint an accent wall or stripes, and five to six rolls to paint multiple rooms. We offer a wide range of tape lengths and bundles so that you can enjoy less waste and more convenience.

Question 3

How do I choose the right specialty tape?

Accepted Answer

Specialty tapes are designed for tackling specific tasks. Select painter's tape for painting clean edges, duct tape for general repairs and sealing, and gaffers tape for securing cables. Whatever the goals for your next project, we've got the specialty tape you need.

Question 4

What are some must-have features for tape?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to versatile and project-ready tape, there are some features you can't do without. Think about the task at hand and look for features like tread, peel back design, and moisture resistant to tackle your next home improvement project.

What are some popular tape brands?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Why are there different colors of painter's tape?

Accepted Answer

In certain industries, different colors have different uses. However, the primary purpose of color variation is for visual distinction. Switch things up when using multiple tapes for the same project or for specific color-coding purposes. We carry painter's tape in a variety of colors, including metallic, brown, and blue.
