The New Office

As we chisel away at the construction of our new office, we’re not just piecing together bricks and mortar; we’re sculpting our commitment to providing excellent service, but this time, just to ourselves. Perched at the apex of this lofty ambition is the fine art of tape and jointing.  Beyond just making the walls and ceilings look dapper, it’s about ensuring they’re smooth, seamless, and structurally sound, creating a finish that’s as polished as our professionalism.

And let’s be honest, in this process, we’re also showing off a bit – demonstrating our knack for quality and precision.

The Tape and Jointing Saga: More Than Meets the Eye

Tape and jointing might sound like a snooze fest to most people, but to us it’s the secret sauce in the drywall installation world. We use an assortment of tapes – from the paper variety that’s a bit like the reliable friend who’s always there to mesh tape, the sturdy mate for those stress-prone corners and door frames. And let’s not forget Fibretape, the unsung hero of the tape family who pops their head around whenever the big guns are needed.

This isn’t just about sticking tape on walls. Oh no, it’s an art form. Imagine layering a three-tiered cake – that’s our three-layer jointing system. First, the tape nestles into a cosy joint compound, and then we lavish it with two more coats, ensuring each layer is as flawless as the last.

Beyond the Wall: It’s Not Just About Looking Pretty

Here’s where it gets really interesting. Tape and jointing aren’t just pretty faces; they’re the brains behind the operation, too. This method is like the Swiss Army knife of wall finishing. Faster than the traditional plastering, it leaves walls looking smoother than a jazz saxophone solo.

But wait, there’s more! It’s also a superhero when it comes to insulation. It helps keep our office toasty in winter and cool in summer, cutting down on those ever-rising energy bills and making Mother Nature smile. Plus, it’s a bit of a damper against noise pollution – keeping the outside world where it belongs, outside.

Why We Call in the Cavalry: The Pros of Going Pro

Now, we could try doing this ourselves, but let’s be honest, that’s like trying to cut your own hair – it’s possible, but it’s not going to be as pretty. Hiring the contractors we usually use for our other jobs means we get a finish so smooth you’d want to swipe right on it. They’ve got the skills, the tools, and the know-how to make sure our walls don’t just look good but last longer than diamonds.

And in this era of advanced tape technology, especially with the whole air-tight construction trend, you really want to ensure you’re using the good stuff. Today’s high-end tapes are not just sticky; they’re as reliable as death and taxes.

Conclusion

So, as we eagerly await the grand unveiling of our office, the role of tape and jointing in bringing our vision to life is crystal clear. It’s a harmonious blend of art and science, a reflection of our dedication to not just quality and sustainability but also a bit of pizzazz. Stay tuned for more updates as we stride ahead in creating an office that’s not just a workspace but a true showcase of the work we do around the UK.
