Jointing & Taping Knives

Take a look at our array of jointing and taping knives right here and find the ideal accessory piece to help you carry out your drywall or plasterboard project. Jointing and taping knives are crucial pieces of any handyman’s tool collection, and can help out in a number of situations, proving outright indispensable in the majority of drywall applications.

While they are very similar in design and purpose, the big difference between jointing knives and taping knives is that jointing knives are typically much bigger than taping knives. These larger variants benefit from a wider blade that is better able to spread compounds over any given surface to smooth out joints between plasterboard sheets.

Taping knives are also crucial, as Drywall does not cope well in conditions with plenty of moisture present. Avoiding or missing out taping can lead to serious issues such as mould growth and warping, which can both lead to structural damage. In a climate as humid as the UK, taping is extremely important. These knives can also be used to cover up and/or smooth out defects and imperfections. Successfully hide and seal cracks and holes with ease.
