Hi there RV and trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at Alpha Systems butyl tape. This butyl tape does come in various lengths and sizes. We have lengths from 20 to 45 feet. The width of the strips can come between 3/8" up to one and a half inches. And the thickness of the strips can be anywhere from 1/16" of an inch, up to 3/16" of an inch.
These are also available in two different qualities. You can get the Q130 and the Q180. The Q130 is the slightly heavier duty butyl tape. And it's a considered to be non trimable by Alpha Systems. And it's going to be more for your, your rail pieces and kind of the things that you don't want to see cause it's a little bit heavier duty and it's considered non-trimable.
It's what we use today for our antenna up here. Cause we wanted to ensure we got a good seal here on the roof and we knew we we're going to be covering it with self-leveling sealant, so having the nicer trimable, better looking trimable butyl tape of the Q180, really isn't necessarily up here. The Q180 though is really ideal for your windows and your doorframes, areas where you want to keep it nice and clean and be able to trim that butyl tape very smoothly and easily with a plastic knife so you don't end up messing up any kind of paint surfaces and things like that. Then the Q80 is going to be the more appropriate option. But otherwise their properties are going to be very similar and you can, you can get those in various lengths, depending on the applications of what you're working on, the width of the surfaces you need to seal, maybe for your windows and door frames, maybe you're a little thicker than what you would need for something like your roof antenna or a like a solar panel or something like that.
This butyl tape that we're going to be using is 3/4" wide by an 1/8" thick. That's going to give us a nice protective layer that we can put along the whole bottom to seal it to the roof. And so very kind of putty tacky sealant, that's going to stay like this and squish around and really fill in the gaps. And I highly recommended it in areas when you're screwing things to the roof, because it can actually, when you go to screw the screw in, you thread it through the butyl tape here, it actually wick down the screw to help it seal even the threads down inside your roof to prevent any moisture from wicking down your fasteners and causing damage and deterioration to your roof here, cause it is made of wood so water will rot and deteriorate that over time. So we want to keep all that moisture out of there and buytl tapes one of the best ways to do so.
And we're going to be showing you, here are a couple of different ways that butyl tape is going to save this roof from future issues. We're replacing the TV antenna on us. We've got our new antenna here. And one of the things you're going to notice is that our old antenna was quite a bit different shape than our new antenna. When we go to put this in place in roughly that location, we've got all these screw holes that are exposed around the outer perimeter of our new antenna base. We can't have screw holes in the roof. That's not going to work. That's going to cause issues with moisture contamination and causing rot and things like that. Now self-leveling sealant is a great sealant that we're going to be using with this as well to help seal this up. But the self-leveling sealant is just kind of your top protective layer and we want to get down inside of the, all these holes and that's where the butyl tape here is going to
