SEALING THE DEAL
Self builders can take advantage of ISO-Chemie’s
ISO-BLOCO One multi-purpose foam sealing
tape, which comes with a 10 year performance
guarantee and provides up to 70% cost savings when
compared to other three component systems.
ISO-BLOCO One tape enables windows and doors to be quickly and
easily sealed from inside the building, avoiding the need to use time
consuming and costly external
access systems like scaffolding and
ladders, and provides guaranteed
high performance sealing for the
lifetime of the window.
“Twelve years on, I no
longer work for Avocet, but
it’s exciting to see Roto’s
TSL espag lock is still
going strong. A simple, but
extremely effective window
lock still offerings reliability
and enhanced of security
on regular side-hung or
top-hung casement windows and a shame so many
new build properties are
still being constructed and
fitted with basic espags. If
only the customers knew
how easily and low cost
their windows could have
been made so much more
resistant to intruders by
fitting the TSL.
“I recently met up with
one of Roto’s technical sales
managers, intrigued about
how this unique product,
which on all accounts, had
given me the ultimate challenge convincing customers
to move back to an espag
locking system, asked, ‘So
what’s happening with TSL
nowadays?’
“He advised that there
was no point trying to reinvent the wheel, but Roto
had improved the way the
product was put together.
The new TSL faceplate had
been brought in line with
the Roto NT and other
modular hardware systems in the manufacturer’s
range and as well as being
designed for maximum
stability, the new faceplates
have a ‘premium’ look and
feel to them.”
He continued to explain
that, the faceplate is now
coated with the latest
formulation of the Roto
NanoSil coating, which uses
nano technology to make
the surface ‘self-healing’. It
is therefore more resist-
ant to scratches as well as
corrosion.
“Fabricators still get the
same advantages than
previously: a range of sizes
to suit sash rebates from
305mm up to 1600mm;
two different cam heights
and backsets depending on
profile; fine adjustment in
the cams to ensure a firm
weather seal; and a range of
profile-related strikers, with
the added advantage that
the TSL is designed to give
maximum flexibility with
the lowest possible number
of different components.
“What the Roto TSL TwinCam lock has given the marketplace over these last 12
years is choice! Choice to be
confident, when offering an
espag locking system that
