Why color-coded tape

The end of the brick ruler and pencil

Marking off courses with a brick ruler and a pencil is slow, and the marks wear away by mid-afternoon. QuikCourse draws its inspiration straight from that hassle. Lay the tape once and your spacing is fixed, repeatable and easy to read all day long.

  • Raise your standard of measure and your productivity
  • No more worn-out rulers or unreadable markings
  • Works on corner posts, speed leads and story poles
  • Follows any surface — arches, curves and straight edges

From the inventor

Built on the scaffold, not in a lab

KwikTape comes from Accurate Color-Coded Masonry Concepts — a small Massachusetts shop founded by Mike Cahalane, an experienced mason. The whole idea grew out of the daily hassle and confusion of marking off courses by hand.

It's a simple, honest tool made by someone who has stood behind the line and wanted layout to go faster. That's still who you reach when you call.

Frequently asked questions

It's a color-coded tape you apply to corner posts, speed leads, story poles, straight edges — or directly to your work surface. Each color marks a fixed joint spacing, so every course lands in the same place without re-measuring.

Each color is a joint-spacing scale based on standard 2-1/4″ brick: Yellow (#2) is 2-1/2″ on center, Red (#3) 2-9/16″, Green (#4) 2-5/8″, Blue (#5) 2-11/16″, and Orange (#6) 2-3/4″ on center.

Standard rolls are 1″ wide × 105′ (about 101 uses). A 2″ wide × 105′ roll is also available in red, green and blue for inside and outside 90° story-pole corners.

Yes. The tape will follow any surface — masons use it on arches, curved openings, corner posts and straight edges alike.

Choose a single roll or a pack, then set your quantity — shipping and handling are calculated at checkout. Prefer to talk it through? Call (508) 520-3301 and we'll sort it out.
