PE Film, PPE Foam Sheet and Expansion Tape for Construction

PPE foam sheets and expansion tape are construction materials made from expanded polyethylene. They are used in floor installation, screed applications and other construction processes to create separating, insulating and compensating layers.

The Teknosel online store offers expanded polyethylene foam sheets in different thicknesses and expansion tape with a protective film for floor screeds and self-leveling floors.

Expanded Polyethylene Foam Sheets (PPE)

PPE foam sheet is a roll material made from expanded polyethylene with a closed-cell structure. It is used in construction as an auxiliary insulating and separating material.

Expanded polyethylene sheets are suitable for various floor installation and construction applications. Different thicknesses allow customers to select the material according to project requirements.

Teknosel offers PPE foam sheets in 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10 mm thicknesses, supplied in rolls of different sizes.

Expansion Tape for Floor Screeds

Expansion tape is an elastic expanded polyethylene material installed around the perimeter of a room along walls and other vertical structures before installing a floor screed.

Its main purpose is to create a compensating gap between the screed and surrounding walls. This gap allows the screed to expand due to temperature changes, helps reduce internal stresses and limits the transmission of structure-borne sound.

Expansion tape is commonly used for cement-sand screeds, concrete screeds and self-leveling floor systems.

Teknosel offers expansion tape with a protective film, 150 mm wide and available in 5 and 8 mm thicknesses.

How to Choose PPE Foam Sheets and Expansion Tape

When selecting materials, consider their intended application, thickness, width, roll coverage and floor construction requirements.

• 2–3 mm PPE foam — thin material for separating and insulating layers where specified by the construction system.

• 5–10 mm PPE foam — thicker material for applications requiring a greater foam layer.

• Expansion tape — for creating a perimeter expansion gap around floor screeds and self-leveling floors.

At Teknosel, you can buy PPE foam sheets and expansion tape for floor screeds, self-leveling floors and various construction applications.
