Plug the gap
TP652 Compriband Trio Plus sealing
tape is designed to meet the onerous
demands of even the Passive House
standard in new-build constructions,
as well as outperforming other
products in refurbishment projects.
»»COMPRISING AN OPEN
cell, pre-compressed impregnated
soft polyurethane foam, TP652
is ideal for the perimeter sealing
of window and doors against
wind and driving rain. At the
same time, the tape provides
thermal insulation for the entire
depth of the installation and
ensures an airtight barrier is
formed. TP652 is also suitable
for sealing panel joints, including
those in offsite construction
systems.
As the name indicates, TP652
Compriband Trio Plus replaces
three sealing products with
just one. Before the window is
installed, the tape is easily fixed
to the frame with its integrated
self-adhesive peel off strip.
The window is then installed
into the opening and fixed
in the normal manner. Once
installed, the TP652 expands to

provide weather, air and thermal
resistance between the frame
and the structure. By fitting
in this way, TP652 can deliver
up to 80% timesavings during
assembly, compared with the
three separate products otherwise
needed.
In windows with a depth of
70 mm, TP652 Compriband
Trio Plus can deliver U-values
down to 0.8 W/m²K while in
80 mm windows a U-value of
0.6W/m²K can be achieved.
The product also has acoustic
attenuation properties and will
deliver sound insulation of up to
51 dB in a 15 mm joint.
TP652 Compriband Trio Plus
is available in a range of sizes
to suit joint gaps from 6 mm
to 30 mm and is suitable for all
window types.

PERFECT CHOICE FOR
A ‘NO GO’ AREA
»»CONSERVATION AREAS
are ‘No Go’ zones for most
window companies, and with over
8,000 of theses areas across the
UK and a further 150 new areas
being added annually, it’s a growing
problem.
Resident 9, the super-premium
composite window system, is
designed to match the drawings
found in Article 4 directions, the
Planner’s bible for conservation
areas. The directive focus’s on the
look of the windows and how
they work, not the material.
Dan Gill, R9 MD says: “I
spotted a gap in the market for
high performing windows in
areas restricted by conservation

rules. R9 is foiled inside and out,
and with a range of 42 colour
combinations and homeowners
can select the colour
combinations that sets off their
home.
“Properties in conservation
areas and homes with character
are no longer limited to replacing
old timber windows with new
timber windows,” adds Dan.
“R9 gives homeowners the
choice to enhance the look
and performance of their home
with beautiful long-lasting
low-maintenance windows and
doors.”
