Corner sealing tapes at wet-area changes of plane
Corner sealing tape belongs in a coordinated wet-area detail, particularly where walls, floors and penetrations meet. It should connect with the selected waterproofing layers rather than sit as an isolated strip.
Selection considerations
Draw internal and external corners and identify pipe or fitting penetrations. Confirm tape dimensions and the compatible embedding or bonding material. A straight-length quantity does not account for every shaped connection or termination.
Inspect the substrate and the continuity of the applied system before covering it. Keep the approved lap and corner instructions with the installer. Avoid assuming that a tape solves structural movement beyond its documented scope; distinguish wet-area sealing details from larger movement-joint assemblies.
Before you specify or order
- Map corners and penetrations
- Confirm compatible waterproofing layers
- Inspect continuity before covering

Common question
Can corner tape replace a structural expansion band?
Not automatically. Their intended movement and installation details may be different.
