ISO-CHEMIE, a leading European foam sealant producer, has won an international quality award for its advanced thermal insulating and load bearing bracket system.
ISO-TOP WINFRAMER, which is based around a 1,200mm length pre-fabricated composite frame, has received the RAL quality mark.
RAL is recognised in Germany and internationally as a symbol for superior product quality and ISO-TOP WINFRAMER is the first product in the revised ‘Joint sealing components and systems’ category to gain the coveted seal of approval.
The system, which can be cut to size on-site and secured in position using an adhesive, enables installers to quickly fit windows into the insulation area between the inner and outer walls.
This avoids the need to use metal brackets which can cause non-repeating thermal bridging and give extensive problems when the windows need replacing.
Presented at Fensterbau 2016 in Nuremburg, Peter Thompson, ISO Chemie’s UK general manager, said:
“ISO-CHEMIE has a strong commitment to providing customers with high quality innovative product, so gaining the RAL seal of approval is a natural progression for us.“
ISO-TOP WINFRAMER can be used with a range of ISO-Chemie foam tape sealant systems to provide effective and high performance window sealing.
These include ISO-BLOCO One, ISO-BLOCO One Control, ISO-BLOCO 600, the ISO-CONNECT Vario range of self-adhesive foils and fleeces, and ISO-TOP Flex Adhesive WF for bonding and sealing to masonry and joint/corner sealing
One of the major end-user benefit of the new system is that when a window needs to be replaced at a later date it is not necessary to remove the internal plaster finish of the reveal wall to remove the old metal brackets and fit new ones, saving further disruption, refurbishment time and costs.
Another is the initial speed of installation and that the product supplies a continuous flat and level base to work from.
Resistant to temperatures between -50ºC – +100ºC, ISO-TOP WINFRAMER offers excellent acoustic insulation performance (up to 50dBA), high humidity resistance and can be over plastered for decorative finishes. More at www.iso-chemie.co.uk
