TIME AND
MONEY SAVER
The Glazpart trade counter range has a new alternative innovation for
fitting windows – in the shape of TruFit®. This product is a pre-compressed
expanding foam edge tape that replaces expanding foam and sealants
providing an effective thermal barrier around the window and door.
Because the expansion
happens gradually over
the following 24 hours,
it finds all the nooks
and crannies that
instantaneously expanding foam doesn’t
reach. This ensures
true energy rating performance and a longlife weather seal.
Thermal imaging analysis
has shown how much heat
can be lost at the edge of
windows installed using
standard methods. When
the same windows were
fitted using TruFit® sealing
tape, an average of 23%
less heat was lost.
Whether it’s a Chartwell
green or golden oak window, going into brickwork, blockwork, render
or natural stone, TruFit®
looks good. It fills the gap
around the window and the
wall perfectly which adds
a defined shadow-groove
to the installation. No trims
are needed which make it
ideal for specialist windows
including sliding sash and
flush sash where trims
detract from the more traditional look.
And it’s not just the installation that looks good.
It’s also really clean to use.
There’s no messy silicone
which means clothes stay
cleaner and that helps in-
‘with TruFit®, it’s just fit and forget.
You get a perfect, straight line
that’s really pleasing to the eye.’
stallers look more professional.
The costs for using TruFit® are easy to work out
- it’s an amount per metre
and that’s it. Looking at the
numbers, it can actually
work out cheaper to use
TruFit® than using screws,
foam, silicone and covering
with plastic trims. On foiled
and coloured windows the
savings are even bigger,
because no expensive
coloured trims are needed.
It’s quicker to install too
even in the rain, with virtually no waste.
Glazpart customer and
user of Trufit® West Country Windows said TruFit
made a real difference.
