TAPE HAS NEW LOW CARBON HOMES SEALED
»»
ISO-CHEMIE’ S EXPANDING FOAM sealing tape has been specified for a low carbon housing project, which incorporates the latest developments in sustainable building technologies.
More than 240 properties at Little Kelham, on the banks of the River Don in Sheffield, feature ISO BLOCO ONE tape, which provides a high performance airtight, acoustic and thermal seal for hundreds of new doors and windows. Developed by sustainable urban developer, Citu, in collaboration with Historic England, the houses have been built combining Scandinavian design and renewable construction materials to lower the carbon footprint of the occupants.
Andy Swift, ISO-CHEMIE’ s national sales manager, said:“ Developers like Citu are looking at new ways to deliver low carbon homes, which use sustainable technologies. Involvement in this and other ground-breaking projects reinforces our strong environmental credentials and showcases the long term airtight, acoustic and thermal benefits of sealing tapes.”
ISO-BLOCO ONE offers a‘ fit and forget’ solution based around the European RAL principles of three level sealing. The inside seal area is more airtight than the external one, allowing any trapped moisture inside the joint, or within the wall, to escape outwards; meanwhile a building is better protected from elemental factors like wind, dust and moisture ingress.
