Fibre Glass Tapes

Fibreglass tapes. Woven and double bias

. Woven Glass Fiber Tapes come in widths from 38mm to 150mm and are made from 155gsm plain weave glass fribre, with a selvedge on both sides of the tape. These tapes are often laid along the chine of smaller boats and over the fillet on the inside of the chine.

Double Bias Glass Fiber Tape is cut from a full width roll of 420 gsm double bias glass fiber cloth. We stock these in widths from 50mm to 200mm. The double bias tape is often used to provide strength on the join between two panels of plywood, for example along the outside of a chine.

Exotic Tapes - Kevlar, Aramid, Innegra, Carbon and Basalt and combinations both woven and unidirectional are listed under surfboard fabrics.

  • Double Bias Tape 150mm wide, 420 gsm, per lineal meter
    This tape is MUCH stronger than the woven tape when it is used to reinforce joints between sheets of ply, especially at chines and next to the keel. The reason is that ALL the glass threads cross the joint. It would take more than 6 layers of the 155 gsm woven tape to give similar strength. It is sold by the metre. Rolls are 82 metres long.

The tape is 65mm wide (2 1/2 inches approx) and is 200 grams per square metre which is about 6oz per square yard. On surefboards it is normally used around the edges of the board to increase the...
