With the onset of
winter, rapid and effective onsite sealing of window or door frame connecting
joints in minus degree temperatures or in wet conditions, is provided by
advanced external* sealing foil technology from foam tape manufacturer,
ISO-CHEMIE.
The flexible
humidity variable sealing foil ISO-CONNECT VARIO SD, available in full surface
self-adhesive COMPLETE and COMPLETE DUO variants, enables onsite installation
work to continue even in poor weather or wintry environments.
Developed for the
extreme cold of the Scandinavian market, the foil adheres quickly, even to
rough surfaces such as hemp blocks, down to - 8°c when wet seal would freeze at
zero. This saves time and provides 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
not only adapts to seasonal variations but also provide an excellent external
weather seal, which exceeds 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.
Furthermore, the
risk of leaks from poor or patchy adhesive application can be avoided while the
foil can be plastered over immediately after installation, providing further
time and cost saving benefits.
The risk of soiling
on windows, surrounding construction work and on the building itself due to
residual adhesive is also significantly reduced.
COMPLETE and
COMPLETE DUO variants of ISO-CONNECT VARIO SD also comply with the
specifications of the plastering guideline ‘Plastering
window sealing foils', which recommends a minimum bonding surface area
of more than 75%.
