New-look pro tapes for Synseal’s popular Shield and SynerJy PVC-U profiles are being introduced during 2015.

An online survey was conducted to test installer perceptions of a number of different pro tape options including a plain white design, a multi-lingual design featuring the six most popular languages used by tradesmen working on British construction projects (English, Welsh, Gaelic, Polish, Punjabi and Gujarati) and an eco-friendly ‘remove and recycle’ design.

“The research gave us an undisputed winner” says Mark Schlotel, Synseal’s Head of Marketing. “The dual-colour design with ‘remove and recycle’ messaging was clearly the favourite and there’s no doubt that these new pro tapes, featuring our distinctive Shield and SynerJy logos, will be a big improvement to replace the existing mono-colour designs.  Pro tape is an important element in our offering, protecting the extruded PVC-U profiles through the processes of despatch, fabrication, delivery to site and installation where it is viewed by the homeowners and only removed as a final fit operation.”

Printed with the messages ‘Lead-free PVC-U profile / Remove this protective foil immediately after installation / This protective foil is recyclable’ these eye-catching new pro tapes will be introduced in phased fashion during the year as existing stocks of the old Shield and SynerJy pro tapes are exhausted.
