10M x 24mm Breather (Vent) Tape for 6 & 10mm Polycarbonate Sheets

Protect Your Polycarbonate Sheets with High-Performance Ventilation Tape

Our Ventilation Tape for Polycarbonate Sheets is specifically designed to seal the lower edges of multiwall polycarbonate sheets while allowing moisture and condensation to escape. This specialist breather tape helps prevent dirt, dust, insects and debris from entering the internal flutes of the sheet, ensuring your roofing installation remains clean and performs effectively for years.

Suitable for a wide range of polycarbonate thicknesses, this professional-grade vent tape is an essential accessory for conservatory roofs, canopies, pergolas, carports, lean-tos, greenhouses and covered walkways.

Manufactured with a breathable membrane, the tape allows airflow through the sheet channels while preventing contamination, helping to reduce algae growth and maintain a clearer appearance.

Why Use Ventilation Tape?

Multiwall polycarbonate sheets naturally experience temperature changes that can create condensation within the sheet structure. Without proper protection, the open ends of the sheets can collect dirt, insects, mould and moisture, affecting both appearance and performance.

Ventilation tape seals the sheet ends while maintaining airflow through the internal chambers. This helps prevent contamination and allows trapped moisture to evaporate naturally.

For best results, ventilation tape should be used at the lower end of the sheet in conjunction with appropriate polycarbonate end closures or glazing systems.
