ISO-CHEMIE ’ S WIN2WALL SEALS IT FOR ALUMINIUM WINDOW INSTALLER
»»
ISO-CHEMIE ’ s new ISO-BLOCO WIN2WALL has been specified for the first time by one of North of England ’ s leading aluminium window and door installation specialists .
Leeds-based Aluminium Frame Co Ltd turned to the improved thermal and acoustic benefits provided by WIN2WALL to complete a Schüco residential windows ’ installation and has been so impressed by the multi-level tape ’ s performance that it will be specified for future work .
WIN2WALL combines excellent performance with competitive cost and is specifically designed for sealing the perimeter joint between windows , doors and walls in the UK .
The product enables quick and easy sealing from inside the building of gaps ranging from 2mm to 8mm , accommodating the vast majority of UK window installations . It is supplied in
two widths to provide the extra thermal insulation equivalent to A Rated ( 40mm tape ) or A + and A ++ windows ( 65 mm tape ).
Paul Clarke , owner of Aluminium Frame Co Ltd , said that WIN2WALL provided demonstrable
installation improvements when compared to an alternative mastic sealant , and added :
“ WIN2WALL is not only quick and easy-to-use but clearly offers improved all round airtightness and acoustic performance . It ’ s a good
quality product that also delivers a neat finish to complement the good looks of the aluminium windows . We ’ ll definitely be using on future installations .”
WIN2WALL is weather tight to 600 Pa and has excellent acoustic insulation properties . Installing a window or door using the tape will give the window an equivalent or better thermal property than the window unit itself .
Even the smaller 40mm size tape will give the joint between the window and wall a U-Value of 1.2 , equivalent to an Energy A-rated window , while the larger version will provide an A-Value of 0.7 , which is better than a triple glazed Passivhaus standard window .
Product also complies with the Zero Carbon Hub project by using materials that fill the gap between ‘ designed performance ’ and ‘ built performance ’ to give a guaranteed on site performance . This makes WIN2WALL beneficial for new build developers who are looking for consistent performance across potentially large installation projects .
