Why are Q1 Tapes different colours, and what does each colour mean?

Q1 Tapes are colour-coded to help decorators quickly choose the right tape for each surface and application, ensuring clean lines and professional results:

  • Blue – Outdoor Tape: Designed for exterior surfaces, UV-resistant, and weatherproof for long-lasting outdoor projects.
  • Yellow – All-Rounder / Multi-Purpose Tape: Versatile tape suitable for general masking and a wide range of surfaces.
  • Pink – Sensitive Tape: Extra-low tack for very delicate surfaces, such as freshly painted walls or delicate trim, preventing paint lift.
  • Purple – Delicate Tape: Low-adhesion tape for lightly painted or fragile surfaces, ensuring clean removal without damage.
  • Gold – Precision Tape: High-quality tape for sharp, crisp paint lines, ideal for professional finishes and detailed decorating work.

This colour coding ensures decorators — whether trade or DIY — can select the correct tape for their task, reduce mistakes, and achieve a professional finish every time.
