PASSIVLUX WINDOWS SPECIFIES ISO CHEMIE FOAM SEALING FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE SEALING SOLUTIONS

A leading South East supplier of high-performance windows and doors has specified ISO-Chemie’s advanced window sealing tapes to provide improved levels of acoustic, thermal and energy insulation.

BLOCO ONE foam tapes are among various products supplied to support the installation of windows and doors designed and fitted by Whitstable-based Passivlux across all sectors of the commercial and residential construction industry in Kent.

Providing long-term protection against wind-blown rain ingress as well as an effective acoustic and thermal seal, ISO Chemie’s sealant tapes have been used on a number of Passivlux projects over the years to comply with stringent sealing and quality requirements for triple glaze units and bi-fold doors installed in houses, apartments and conversion projects.

The use of ‘smart’ foams impregnated with different substances to create a measurable U-Value as low as 0.6w/m2k, offer superb thermal insulation and can contribute to acoustic sound reduction by 63dB. As these installation tapes are completely weather tight against driving rain up to hurricane force wind speeds, installers can quickly apply them around the frame during initial fitting. This provides the assurance that they have completed a comprehensive ‘A’ rated installation rather than just supplying an ‘A’ rated window.

Furthermore, BLOCO ONE enables specifiers and installers to seal windows from inside the building and avoid the need to use time consuming and costly scaffolding and ladders among other external access systems.

The tapes offer a single product ‘fit and forget’ solution for fast and effective sealing based around the European RAL principles of three level sealing - the inside seal area is more airtight than the external one, allowing any trapped moisture inside the joint, or within the wall, to escape outwards rather than into the building.

Tom Holmes, business development manager at Passivlux, which is investing in a new Brighton branch this year to extend its range of windows and doors to a wider region, said: “ISO-Chemie tapes and sealants are specified to complement the window and doors high standards of quality and energy saving attributes. We ensure the products we use during our installations meet our stringent in-house testing procedure and offer our clients value for money without sacrificing quality or performance'.

Andy Swift, country director at ISO-Chemie, said: “Passivlux use only the best thermally performing windows and our tapes and sealants ensure the installation is as good as the frame itself, as well as offering acoustic reduction, air-tightness and weather resistance. By working in partnership with ourselves, we create a perfect window with a highly efficient installation.”
