NEW INITIATIVE OPENS THE NATIONAL WINDOW ON ENERGY EFFICIENT FOAM TAPES

August 2025

Our advanced foam sealant tapes are featuring in a new Passivhaus initiative designed to showcase the energy saving benefits of modern window systems.

Our ISO-BLOCO foam sealant tape has been installed by Wealden Joinery around the frames of Gutmann windows currently featuring in a full-scale, two-storey sustainable Passivhaus mock house, which was centre stage at the recent NEC InstallerSHOW.

Following HAUS’s premiere at the Birmingham event, it’s relocating to London and then Cambridge as part of an education drive to highlight to local authorities, housebuilders and commercial developers the latest energy efficiency solutions such as foam sealant tapes, which can be used in sustainable development and modern methods of construction.

Up to 70% cost savings can be achieved when using ‘fit and forget’ ISO-BLOCO high performance foam tape, enabling installers to quickly and effectively seal windows from inside the building during the construction phase. This avoids the requirement to use time consuming and expensive external access systems, which together with associated health and safety issues, can contribute significantly to a project’s overall costs.

Moreover, because the foam sealant can be applied in the wet and rain, the installation of windows can be undertaken regardless of external weather conditions, avoiding further time consuming and costly delays. This can add up to potential savings of hundreds of pounds per day, ISO-Chemie estimates.

ISO-BLOCO ONE provides a longer lasting seal for window and door joints up to 30mm wide and installation compliance to BS8313-4:2016. It is impermeable to driving rain at a minimum of 750 Pa - 66% higher reliability than most conventional joint sealing tapes.

Once installed, the tape ensures structures are better protected from elemental factors like wind, dust and moisture ingress by accommodating the changes in structural movement caused by environmental, cyclical and settlement factors. Product complies with Building Energy Act on windows and doors as well as the RAL quality assurance association and can accommodate extremes of temperature changes, from -30°C to + 80°C.

Andy Swift, our UK sales and operations manager, said: “The HAUS provides a focal that showcases the quick-to-install, energy saving benefits of modern foam sealant tapes - and the important role they can play in reducing heat loss from buildings. This initiative is part of our strategy to educate specifiers, housebuilders and the wider construction sector about energy efficient improvement solutions in the UK - up to 70% cost savings can be achieved when using our tapes for high performance window sealing, rather than alternative traditional systems such as silicone sealants.”

FE STUDENTS GIVE OUR TRAINING A SEAL OF APPROVAL

March 2025

We has linked up with an FE college in a new initiative to help current students understand foam sealant tape technology and the need to better seal doors and windows.

Our experts provided a group of masters’ students on courses at Abingdon & Witney FE College’s Construction Skills Academy, with an overview of foam sealant tapes. We also explained why it’s important to ensure windows are properly and effectively sealed to prevent energy loss and protect property against the elements.

The move, an extension of our skills development and learning programme, saw our UK sales and operations director Andy Swift, cover the benefits of using the latest foam sealant tapes and how to install them with a Q&A at the end of the session.

Doors and windows account for almost a quarter (21%) of the total air loss of the average house, and adding the joints between walls, floors and ceilings brings the figure up to 50%. Andy Swift explained that while airflow is desirable, you can eliminate 50% of heat loss while still retaining some natural air flow.

Statistics reveal that in most residential properties, heat losses are overwhelmingly replaced by artificial heating rather than through solar energy or internal warmth. This means that reducing heat losses in the home is paramount in the battle to lower energy consumption.

The initiative reflects the wider moves to help young people in the UK looking to pursue a career in construction, building design and architecture related sectors, understand the types of products available and how to specify them.

Following the success of the first event, further events at other technical colleges could be on the cards in the next 12 months to support UK construction and building training syllabuses.

Andy Swift said: “We had a good number attend as the initiative was scheduled into the students’ timetable. Developing links with academic facilities is important in securing the company’s current and future workforce needs and helping those taking up specification and design roles to understand better what’s involved in protecting properties against the elements and energy loss.

“It also helps us to tap into the fresh insight and academic prowess that students bring as part of our commitment to supporting skills development and learning. We have a strategy to grow and increasing our engineering capabilities through nurturing strong academic links, is a beneficial part of our plans.”

One of the students said: “The session was extremely useful, providing a thorough understanding and insight into important window installation processes, the products and how they can improve efficiencies. This helps us to boost our own core skills and development, which we can then take forward in any future job.”

Guidance on the latest airtightness products and sealing solutions, which included details our range of gap sealing solutions ISO-BLOCO WIN2WALL and ISO-BLOCO ONE, also featured. Up to 70% cost savings can be achieved when using these tapes for high performance window sealing, rather than the current three component systems.
