Membrane Seam and Junction Tape Order calculator.

Order rolls from measured seam runs, specified end allowances and separate junction patches, with explicit joining rules.

MEMBRANES

Your inputs

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Use the actual usable quantity or dimensions of the product you intend to buy. Check the label and the unit shown here.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Order rolls from measured seam runs, specified end allowances and separate junction patches, with explicit joining rules. Tape length = Σ(run + 2 × end allowance) × count + patch count × patch length. Pool only if joins are permitted.

Tape length = Σ(run + 2 × end allowance) × count + patch count × patch length. Pool only if joins are permitted.Calculated with normalised units

Continuous-piece packing uses decreasing-length first fit. It is feasible for the stated pieces but is not guaranteed optimal. No cut kerf, damage or end trim is assumed; include these in your supplied piece lengths.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.

All product dimensions, coverage, density, allowances and joining rules must come from your supplied plan or selected product. No building-code values are inserted.

Method: dimensional arithmetic and user-supplied specifications. Software checks: 2026-10-05. Calculation and review policy.
