Description
Polycarbonate vent tape is the breathable, vented tape that seals the bottom edge of twin-wall polycarbonate panels on greenhouses and high tunnels. It lets condensation drain and the panel flutes vent while keeping dust and insects out of the channels, so the lower edge of your panels stays clear instead of clouding with trapped moisture.
Each roll measures 1" wide by 110' long, enough to seal a full run of panel ends. Vent tape is one half of a two-tape system: run this breather tape along the bottom edge and solid aluminum foil seal tape along the top, then finish both edges with a profile or U-channel that holds the tape and sheds water. It fits 8mm twin-wall polycarbonate and is also sold as vented tape, ventilated polycarbonate tape, breather tape, or anti-dust tape.
Polycarbonate vent tape is the breathable tape that seals the bottom edge of twin-wall polycarbonate panels. Also called vented polycarbonate tape, ventilated polycarbonate tape, breather tape, or anti-dust tape, it lets condensation drain and the panel flutes vent while its fine perforations keep dust and insects out of the channels. That keeps the lower edge of your panels clear instead of clouding with trapped moisture and debris.
This is one half of a two-tape system. Vented tape goes on the bottom edge so moisture can escape, and solid aluminum foil seal tape goes on the top edge to keep water and dirt out of the channels. Each roll is 1" wide by 110' long, made by Gallina USA, so you can seal a full run of panel ends without splicing in extra tape. The tape installs under your edge profile or U-channel, which holds it in place and adds weather protection once the panels are trimmed out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is polycarbonate vent tape used for?
A: It seals the bottom edge of twin-wall polycarbonate panels while still letting them vent. The breathable tape lets condensation drain and air move through the flutes, and its fine perforations keep dust and insects out. It's also sold as vented tape, breather tape, or anti-dust tape.
Q: Does vent tape go on the top or bottom of the panel?
A: The bottom edge. Use breathable vent tape on the bottom so moisture can escape, and solid aluminum foil seal tape on the top to keep water and dirt out of the channels. Sealing the bottom with solid tape instead would trap moisture and cloud the flutes, which is why the breathable tape goes there.
Q: How long is a roll of polycarbonate vent tape?
A: Each roll is 1 inch wide and 110 feet long, which covers a long run of panel ends without splicing. The tape installs under an edge profile or U-channel, which holds it in place and adds weather protection.
