Joist Tape is used on floor joists to eliminate squeaks caused by the friction between the floor joist and subflooring.

Joist Tape is applied directly to the top of the floor joists with the adhesive side down. For best results, follow the instructions on the Noiseproofing Joist Tape installation guide. Additional resources and video can be found on the Noiseproofing Joist Tape page.

For large and recurring jobs, a joist tape applicator is available for purchase from many of our distributors.

Joist Tape is sold in widths to fit standard joist sizes: 1-7/16, 2-1/4, and 3 in, and are 1/8 in thick and typically around 100 feet in length (3.6, 5.7 and 7.6 cm and 30 m in length).

Joist Tape can be applied by hand. For large and/ or recurring jobs, a joist tape applicator is available for purchase from many of our distributors.

Joist Tape is meant to reduce squeaky floors and is not effective at reducing impact noise from footfalls or airborne noise. Instead, consider Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound to reduce noise from the floors above.
