About this product
Description
Reinforcing plasterboard joints is the essential first step in a lasting finish. Stuk Plasterboard Scrim Tape gives tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts the reinforcement they need to prevent cracking at joints, corners, and repaired areas. The open-weave fibreglass mesh design allows jointing compound or plaster to bond through the tape and directly to the board, creating a mechanically interlocked layer that resists movement cracking far better than butted joints alone.
Key features
- 75mm width: Wider than standard 50mm scrim — better coverage on butt joints and wider gaps
- 90m length: One roll covers an entire room of plasterboard joints, reducing roll changes mid-job
- Self-adhesive backing: Press and stick directly to board surface — no staples or clips required
- Open-weave fibreglass mesh: Allows compound to key through the tape for a stronger, crack-resistant bond
- White colour: Blends under finishing compound or plaster skim
- Stuk brand: Professional plasterboard accessories brand, stocked by hardware merchants across Ireland
Stuk scrim tape is used by plasterers, drylining contractors, and skilled DIYers throughout Ireland. Apply over butt joints (the non-tapered edges) where plasterboard sheets meet end-to-end, and over any repaired holes or cracks before applying jointing compound. The 75mm width is particularly useful on butt joints where standard 50mm tape can leave the edges uncovered. Press the tape firmly before applying the first coat of compound for the best adhesion.

On modern Irish new-builds and renovations, drylining with plasterboard has largely replaced wet plastering. This means the quality of jointing at panel edges directly determines whether hairline cracks appear around doorframes, at ceiling-wall junctions, and across butt joints within two heating seasons. The Stuk 75mm roll, combined with a compatible jointing compound and correct drying time between coats, provides the foundation for a crack-resistant finish that decorating contractors expect from a quality install.
