Housewrap tape for garden office

Hi, we are building a garden office and have wrapped a housewrap around the outside of the shed and want to use a tape to seal the wrap. Is there an alternative tape that can be used other than the Dupont tyvek tape. I want to pick it up tomorrow from Screwfix or toolstation before the builder installs the cladding. Any links? Thank you

Tapes for membranes come in a variety of qualities. Cheap tape breaks down (or the glue does) over time and stops doing what it should. Buy a quality tape. There is no saving in buying a cheap tape.
Look at Dupont, Protect (Multidesif not Isodesif) and Siga. Make sure you buy the external membrane tape as there are internal tapes which won't be adequate.
There are a handful of others (Wurth isn't specifically for membrane but they do excellent tapes slightly cheaper) but I would not buy anything from Screwfix or Toolstation and the like.2
