Fantastic air-tightness
and energy efficiency
Noise reduction
Poor quality installations leave
your customers at risk from one
of the biggest and fastest-growing
bugbears of modern life – noise.
Blaring TVs, pounding stereos,
busy roads and barking dogs
can all make life a misery – and
there’s mounting evidence it can
have long-term impacts on health,
too. Tapes like our TP653 Trio X
can offer noise reduction of 50dB
– that’s the difference between a
rock band and a conversation.
Usable in all winds
and weathers
All it takes is a bit of rain, and,
if you’re using silicone, the instal-
lation has to stop. In a country
with a climate as unpredictable
as ours, that’s a major problem.
Rain is an inescapable part of
British life – but our TP tapes can
be used in almost weathers. That
means no more rain stops play.
Our range of installation tapes
offer world-class energy efficien-
cy and air-tightness – meaning
they’re a perfect fit for an era
when going green is more urgent
than ever. The higher the rate of
compression a sealant product
offers, the better it is at keeping
the heat in, and the elements
out. Our installation tapes offer
exceptional rates of compression
thanks to their thicker con-
struction, equalling outstanding
performance.
“The guide is over 100 pag-
es and contains everything
you need to know about all
systems and products within
the VEKA, Halo and Imagine
brand ranges. From in-depth
technical data, technical
drawings, and performance
results, to information about
our technical support servic-
es.
“And, for those that prefer
a ‘pick and mix’ approach, in-
dividual pages can be down-
loaded by product through
the new veka.co.uk site, so
customers can effectively put
together a bespoke reference
guide for their most-used
systems.
“The specification guide
itself is a joy to read. I’m really
proud of how we’ve man-
aged to fit so much valuable
content into such a clear and
straightforward document.
And, I believe the support that
complements the spec guide
is second to none. Our tech-
nical team are only a phone
call or an email away and can
assist with CAD design, as
well as BIM, and wind load or
energy calculations (to name
just a few of our services),
in order to help you specify
the perfect system for your
project.
“The new specification
guide comes following the
launch of SPECTRAL; the in-
novative ultramatt finish, un-
veiled at this year’s FIT Show
and shortlisted for ‘Product of
the Year’ at the G19 Awards.
This means details can be
found throughout the guide
of all systems that can be
specified with the new finish,
as well as full details of SPEC-
TRAL on page 14-15. This
extraordinary product can be
used to elevate the look and
even feel of a window or door
frame.
“VEKA UK systems of-
fer immense yet intelligent
choice. In developing the Var-
iations colour range, we not
only focused on getting the
colour and texture of every
foil just right, we also looked
at how we could deliver these
choices with swift lead times
that work for your project. It
may be a small detail - but
one that means we carry the
largest UK stock holding cov-
ering 4000 SKUs.
“The guide’s combination of
line drawings, photographs of
products in situ, test reports
and results, alongside foil
options, specification and
sizing - with real life case
studies - mean the reader
has the information and the
inspiration needed to perfect
every project.
“Putting together such a
comprehensive guide was a
challenge to say the least,
but one that was well worth
it; this ‘specification Bible’ is
the ultimate reference guide
to everything VEKA. It is both
exhaustive and easy to use,
and I’m looking forward to
hearing what customers have
to say about it.”
