The CGC Sheetrock® Drywall Paper Joint Tape is engineered to deliver long-lasting, crack-resistant drywall seams on residential and commercial projects. Trusted by drywall professionals throughout Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area, this tape provides superior joint reinforcement while maintaining a smooth, flat surface ready for paint.

Unlike generic paper or mesh tapes, CGC Sheetrock® tape uses a special cross-fiber paper construction that delivers consistent strength in every direction. As a result, joints remain stable even as buildings settle or experience seasonal temperature changes.

Key Features

• High-Tensile Cross-Fiber Paper resists stretching and tearing

• Chemically Treated & Buffed Surface ensures superior compound adhesion

• Precision Center Crease folds easily for clean inside corners

• Excellent Crack Resistance strengthens drywall seams long-term

• Thin Profile Design prevents joint “humping” and uneven finishes

• Professional-Grade Performance trusted on job sites across Canada

Additionally, the buffed surface allows joint compound to grab the tape effectively, reducing air pockets and minimizing finishing defects.

Technical Specifications

Each roll measures 2-1/16 inches wide and 500 feet long (152.4 m), making it ideal for large drywall installations. The tape works seamlessly with both drying-type and setting-type joint compounds, ensuring flexibility across different finishing systems.

Because the paper thickness is carefully controlled, installers achieve flatter joints with fewer coats of compound, which ultimately reduces sanding time and labor costs.

Benefits for Contractors & Homeowners

For contractors and builders, CGC Sheetrock® Paper Joint Tape delivers predictable results, faster finishing, and fewer callbacks. Since the tape reinforces joints effectively, it reduces the risk of cracks appearing after paint.

Meanwhile, homeowners and renovation companies benefit from smoother walls and ceilings that maintain a professional appearance for years.

Key benefits include:

• Strong, durable drywall joints

• Cleaner inside corners with minimal rework

• Reduced sanding and finishing time

• Reliable performance in renovations and new builds

Installation & Usage Guide

Apply a thin layer of joint compound directly to the drywall seam. Next, embed the tape into the compound using a joint knife, pressing firmly to remove excess compound and trapped air. Then, allow the joint to dry before applying subsequent coats.

Pro-Tip: Always ensure full compound coverage under the tape. Proper bedding prevents “tape blisters” and ensures long-term crack resistance.

Why Choose CGC Over Big Box Store Alternatives?

Big box retailers sell drywall tape as a commodity. CGC Sheetrock® tape is engineered for professional performance. Unlike lower-grade alternatives, CGC controls fiber strength, paper density, and surface treatment to deliver consistent results.

Additionally, CGC products meet Canadian building standards and are trusted by drywall professionals across the GTA. Therefore, contractors choose CGC when finish quality, durability, and reputation matter.
