What is masking tape used for?

Masking tape is most often used when painting to prevent paint from getting onto a particular area. For example, you might use painters tapes when decorating to prevent wood paint on a door frame from getting onto the surrounding wall, or on a light fitting.

Masking tape is regularly used as painters tape when spray painting cars or UPVC window frames for the same purpose.

Using masking tape has several benefits, including helping you save time, preventing mistakes and allowing for a clean, high-quality finish.
