FrogTape Advanced(TM) Painter's Tape and T-Rex(R) Waterproof and Repair Tape Selected as Good Housekeeping 2026 Home Reno Award Winners

FrogTape Advanced(TM) Painter's Tape and T-Rex(R) Waterproof and Repair Tape selected as Good Housekeeping 2026 Home Reno award winners. Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the parent company of FrogTape(R) and T-Rex(R) Tape brands, announced today that FrogTape Advanced(TM) Painter's Tape and T-Rex(R) Ferociously Strong(R) Waterproof and Repair Tape were named winners in Good Housekeeping's 2026 Home Reno Awards. The full list of awards can be found at goodhousekeping.com/homereno2026. Both new within the past year, each product earned recognition in the publication's "Handy Tools & Accessories" category. An ultra-premium painter's tape, FrogTape Advanced(TM) is treated with exclusive PaintBlock(R) Technology to seal tape edges and prevent paint bleed. The washi paper backing is thin, yet two times stronger than traditional crepe paper painter's tape* for better conformability around challenging curves and contours, shred-resistance and tear-free removal - ensuring the tape comes off cleanly in one piece. And while it's always best to remove painter's tape while the tape is still wet, Nano Technology on FrogTape Advanced(TM) absorbs and scatters penetrating UV light to protect the adhesive from degradation, offering 28-day indoor clean removal and the ability to withstand direct outdoor sunlight for up to seven days - so you never have to worry if your job takes longer than planned. Formulated with Flex-to-Fit Technology(TM), T-Rex(R) Ferociously Strong(R) Waterproof and Repair Tape uses a highly conformable, multi-layer film engineered with a solventless UV acrylic adhesive that is repositionable, yet ferociously strong, providing maximum stretch around objects and the ability to fit in tight spaces. Whether patching a leaky gutter or making a quick repair to a ripped tent, this waterproof and repair tape offers easy application and extreme weather performance - instantly sealing out water, air and moisture and even working under water, making it the most versatile and reliable tape for fast fixes. "We are incredibly proud of the innovation behind FrogTape Advanced(TM) and T-Rex(R) Ferociously Strong(R) Waterproof and Repair Tape, and we're so honored that Good Housekeeping has recognized them this year," said Shelley Price, Vice President of Marketing, Consumer & Craftsman at Shurtape Technologies, LLC. "At Shurtape, we understand that the best home projects start with the best tools. Our tapes are crafted to blend top-shelf quality with maximum usability so that every DIYer and professional alike can see their inspiration come to life and get the job done."
