Collection: Masq Tapes

Masq Tapes

Masq is a specialist brand supplying professional masking tapes and surface protection solutions for painters, decorators, and trade professionals. Designed to help achieve clean paint lines and protect surrounding surfaces, Masq tapes are trusted on both interior and exterior decorating projects.

At Haverhill Paint Supplies, we stock a selected range of Masq masking tapes suitable for a wide variety of applications. From general-purpose masking to more specialist uses, Masq tapes are designed to provide reliable adhesion, clean removal, and consistent performance across different surfaces.

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

Masq masking tapes are colour-coded to indicate their adhesion strength and intended surface type, making it easier to select the correct tape for each decorating job:

  • Red – High Tack: Strong adhesion for general-purpose masking on walls, wood, metal, and tougher surfaces where a firm hold is required.
  • Gold – Superior: Premium masking tape designed for sharp, clean paint lines and professional-quality finishes.
  • Purple – Low Tack: Reduced adhesion for delicate or lightly painted surfaces, helping prevent paint lift during removal.
  • Violet – Sensitive: Extra-low tack tape for very delicate surfaces, such as freshly painted walls or fragile finishes, ensuring clean removal with minimal risk of damage.

This colour system helps decorators quickly match the tape to the surface, reduce mistakes, and achieve cleaner, more professional results on every project.
