The Building Performance Hub has partnered with Gapotape to offer a specialised PIR insulation tape designed specifically for use with rigid insulation boards.
Gapotape is a multi-award-winning product that combines foil and foam in a unique format. It is the first foil and insulation tape proven by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) to eliminate air leakage and thermal bridging where rigid boards are installed between rafters in roofs, walls, and floors.
Gapotape represents a breakthrough in foil and insulation tape technology. Its innovative design delivers airtight and thermally efficient sealing for rigid insulation boards, making it an essential component in modern construction focused on energy efficiency and sustainability.

Using foil and insulation tape offers a range of benefits that contribute significantly to the performance and efficiency of rigid insulation systems. By sealing gaps between insulation boards, it helps maintain a continuous thermal layer, which reduces heat loss and enhances overall thermal performance.
The airtight seal created by the tape also prevents air leakage, which is essential for maintaining indoor air quality and lowering energy costs associated with heating and cooling. The tape’s effectiveness has been independently validated by organisations such as the British Board of Agrément (BBA), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and the National Renewable Energy Centre (NAREC), confirming its reliability in real-world applications.
Additionally, the use of foil and insulation tape supports sustainable building practices by improving the efficiency of insulation systems and contributing to reduced energy consumption, making it a valuable solution for projects aiming to meet high environmental and energy standards.
