Water Tanks
A leak-free seal is essential when constructing water tanks – our butyl tapes are WRAS-approved and meet the Water Supply Regulations to ensure a compliant, durable installation with leak-proof joints.
Balmoral Tanks, the UK’s primary water tank design and manufacture company uses bespoke, WRAS-approved tapes to seal its range of potable water tanks:
–Our Water Tank Tape is used in sealing flange joints of sectional water tanks. It ensures potable water tanks comply with the Water Supply Regulations, guaranteeing a compliant and resilient installation with leak-proof joints that are designed to last.
