Professional-Grade Acrylic Flashing Tape for Decks, Beams, Windows, Doors & Exterior Waterproofing
The Flashing Tape Contractors Ask For By Name
Not all flashing tapes are created equal.
Many traditional flashing tapes become messy in hot weather, difficult to work with in cold weather, and can shrink, crack, wrinkle, or lose adhesion over time.

Made in Japan and trusted by deck builders, framers, roofing contractors, waterproofing professionals, and window installers throughout North America, G-Tape 3040BK delivers permanent waterproof protection with unmatched ease of installation.
Whether you're flashing windows, protecting deck beams, sealing ledger boards, waterproofing door openings, or creating a moisture barrier around critical structural connections, G-Tape 3040BK delivers long-term protection in virtually any weather condition.
