tremco illbruck heads West as next-generation window tape comes to Eurocell
Posted on 13/04/2018
Best-in-class sealant products from market-leading tremco illbruck are heading to Eurocell depots across the South West.
While thousands of installers across the UK still rely on silicone when fitting windows, more and more are turning towards a new generation of high-performance sealant products – of which tremco illbruck’s TP650 Trio is one of the most advanced.
TP650 Trio is a pre-compressed, multi-functional polyurethane tape that’s impregnated with flame retardant resin. Designed for new-build and replacement installations, it’s quick and simple to apply, and is vapour-permeable while still offering driving rain resistance of up to 600 Pa.
What’s more, it’s fully compliant with BS8213-4:2016 CoP for the survey and installation of windows and external door sets, and the Glass and Glazing Federation’s Guide to Good Practice.
David Naylor, tremco illbruck Product Manager, comments: “We’re absolutely delighted that Eurocell, one of fenestration’s biggest and most respected brands, has decided to start offering TP650 Trio in its West Country depots.
“We’re adamant there’s always going to be a place for silicone. We produce significant amounts of it ourselves. But we’ve also recognised the need for a new generation of sealing products, capable of offering the most outstanding weather resistance and thermal efficiency. And that’s why we’ve developed TP650 Trio, our best-in-class window installation tape.
“Trio has been designed and engineered to excel in every respect – offering outstanding thermal efficiency, sealing and protecting corner joints from mould and fungi, and significantly improving acoustic insulation.
“And, most importantly of all, it’s a breeze to fit. A lot of other non-silicone sealant solutions on the market are flawed. They’re incredibly difficult to align, or they crease around corners. Trio has none of these problems – and can be measured and applied in a matter of minutes.”
TP650 Trio is coming to Eurocell’s West Country branches and if it proves successful, will see the product rolled out across other areas of the UK.
Founded in Germany, but now with over a thousand employees in 30 locations around the globe, tremco illbruck is the world’s leading supplier of high-performance sealants, tapes and adhesives.
