There’s no better way to enhance your home’s aesthetic than by painting your interiors or creating a fun feature wall, but hiring a painter isn’t always in the budget. With the right Scotch painters' tape for your surface, it’s easy to get a professional finish even when you D.I.Y.
If you’re working on smooth plasterboard walls, masking off areas of trim or painting tiles, glass or even metal, ScotchBlue Original Masking Tape can help you get crisp, clean lines as you paint. It stays in place for up to 14 days without leaving any residue, so you can take the time to get the job done right.
To protect deeper skirting boards, furniture and floors from paint splatter while you work, ScotchBlue Pre-taped Masking Film is an easy solution that’s conveniently pre-taped with Scotch Original Painter’s Tape. Suitable for most surfaces, it has a wider coverage than masking tape to protect larger areas. An inbuilt cutting mechanism in the dispenser makes this film even easier to use, and it can also stay in place for up to 14 days while you work.
ScotchBlue Sharp Lines Masking Tape can help you to create clearly defined accent walls on multiple surfaces, including plasterboard, wood, trim, glass and tiles. Its Edge-LockTM technology helps to eliminate bleedthrough and ensure the crispness of your design. Remove this tape within 21 days of application to ensure no sticky residue is left behind.
Painting your home’s exterior is easier too, even when working on textured surfaces like concrete, brick, render and rough wood. All you need is Scotch Rough Surface Masking Tape and proper preparation, and you’ll be amazed at the neat lines and clean finish you can achieve. When used outdoors, this tape should be removed within three days.
If working on recently painted walls, wood floors, veneers and cabinets, use Scotch Delicate Surface Masking Tape. It features a gentler adhesive that will even work on wallpaper without causing damage. This tape is ideal for creating accent walls with decorative stripes or patterns and, with clean removal for up to 60 days, you will really have time to work your creative magic.
Also suitable for use on plasterboard, wooden architraves and skirting boards, windows and tiles, Scotch General Painting Masking Tape can give you excellent definition for your interior painted surfaces. It’s best to take this tape off your painted surface within eight days to ensure clean removal.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
