Masking tape is an adhesive tape used in painting and decorating projects to protect areas that should not be painted, such as trim, glass, or adjacent walls. By creating clean, defined edges, masking tape helps prevent paint bleed and ensures precise, professional-looking finishes. The tape can be applied to various surfaces, and once the painting is complete, it’s removed, leaving a sharp, clean line.

Available in different widths and adhesive strengths, masking tape is easy to apply and remove without leaving residue. Its adaptability makes it useful for a range of applications, from interior home painting to craft projects and automotive detailing.
