Fit Show Preview Latest innovations and best-sellers bound for Birmingham as CRL exhibits at FIT Show 2019 Leading glazing hardware specialist CRL will be at the FIT Show 2019 when it returns to Birmingham’s NEC in May, with a whole range of innovative and best-selling products to showcase to visitors. Taking up 88 square metres of floor space within the exhibition, the CRL stand will be showing its latest range of easy-to-install, frameless glass hardware for railing, façade, shower, and interior door and office partition applications. NEW 3D BIM SERVICE LAUNCHED BY ISO CHEMIE Foam tape sealing company ISO CHEMIE has extended the scope of its specialist services with the launch of new 3D BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology. The move will enable architects and designers to integrate high quality scaled digital information around window and door sealing solutions as part of their 3D visualisations and client presentations. BIM is playing an increasingly significant role in the design and delivery of large and complex fenestration projects and installations in the UK. Product information and specification data from the company’s joint sealing tapes, multi-function joint sealing tapes and in-front-of-wall installation systems such as Winframer will be available initially for downloading free as BIM-ready items via www. portal.iso-chemie.eu or an external database. One of the many highlights will be the CRL’s Langle Office Partition System. Available for monolithic and laminated glass, the dry-glazed system is easy to install and provides a maximum transparency thanks to its thin profiles for ceilings, floors, walls and door frames. They present many benefits such as reducing sound and closing the gaping joint between glass door, side panel and top light.

Also on show will be a selected range of glass and glazing tools and accessories, including suction lifters, adhesives, Toyo® cutters and CRL’s popular Glasstrax glass transport system.
