Abstract
A dry wall tape for use with a panel system includes a mesh having a plurality of width strands, and a plurality of length strands which traverse the plurality of width strands, wherein the length strands are more resistant to a pulling force than the width strands and wherein the tape is configured to be applied to the panel system.
Claims24
A dry wall tape for use with a panel system, comprising:
- a mesh having:
- a plurality of width strands, and
- a plurality of length strands which traverse the plurality of width strands, wherein:
- the length strands have a tensile strength greater than a tensile strength of the width strands,
- the length strands are longer than the width strands,
- the tape is configured to be applied over a panel joint between two panels of the panel system and then covered with a compound, and
- the tensile strength of the length strands is sufficient for the length strands to not break when the tape is pulled off of the panel joint from underneath the compound that has cured.

A dry wall tape for use with a panel system, comprising:
- a plurality of width strands;
- a plurality of length strands which traverse the plurality of width strands;
- an opening defined between two adjacent width strands and two adjacent length strands;
- and
- an adhesive disposed on at least one side of the tape,
- wherein at least one length strand has a cross-sectional area larger than one of the width strands,
- wherein the plurality of length strands are arranged under the plurality of width strands such that the plurality of length strands are closer to a surface to which the dry wall tape is applied, and
- a tensile strength of the at least one length strand is sufficient for the at least one length strand to not break when the tape is pulled off of the surface and from underneath a joint compound that covered the tape and has cured.
