Advanced foil technology seals winter installations

»»
WITH THE ONSET OF WINTER , rapid and effective onsite sealing of windows in temperatures as low as - 10 ° C is provided by advanced sealing foil technology from foam tape manufacturer , ISO-CHEMIE .
The flexible humidity variable sealing foil ISO- CONNECT VARIO SD is now available in full surface self-adhesive variants , COMPLETE and COMPLETE DUO , providing high performance sealing of window and door frame connecting joints in cold conditions .
This enables onsite installation work to continue even in poor weather or wintry environments , saving time and securing a high quality joint sealing solution , even if the foil remains exposed to the elements for up to six months due to construction work delays .
ISO-CONNECT VARIO SD is part of a new generation of window sealing products that not only adapt to seasonal variations but also provide an excellent external weather seal that surpasses UK Building Regulations and airtightness in domestic and commercial buildings when used as an internal seal .
The COMPLETE and COMPLETE DUO variants enable the sealing foil to be located in place and repositioned if necessary after initial application before the full strength of the adhesive develops and takes effect .

TRICKLE VENTS MEET RECENTLY REVISED SCOTTISH REGULATIONS

»»
TITON HAS UPDATED ITS RANGE of trickle ventilators to include additional versions which comply with the recently revised Scottish Technical Standards .
The Scottish Technical Standards were amended in 2016 to alter the method of measuring background ventilation from the traditional ‘ Free Area ’ unit ( the geometric area of a ventilation device ) to the more widely recognised ‘ Equivalent Area ’ ( EA ) unit ( based on the rate of air flow through the ventilation device ). As a result , all background ventilators in the UK now use the same EA unit , as determined using BS EN 13141-1 , ensuring a simpler system can be employed throughout the supply chain .
However , the Scottish Technical Standards stipulate more background ventilation is needed per dwelling ; this means a higher number of ventilators are required in Scotland than in England & Wales . This has led to Titon redesigning its trickle ventilator sizes where possible , ensuring the ranges have denominations of sizes , which comply with the average EA totals stipulated in the revised Technical Standards . These changes have been made throughout the company ’ s mainline plastic and aluminium ventilator ranges – including its newest and high performing SF Xtra model .
