45 PRO INSTALLER MARCH 2016 FIT SHOW 2016 TRUFIT FOR FREE Edgetech UK, the leading voice for energy efficient windows, goes live at FIT Show. “It’s a busy stand,” says Marketing Manager Charlotte Davies, “with lots of action to make it really interesting and interactive for visitors.” »»At the centre of the action is TruTruck, Edgetech’s mobile demonstration van, where live demos of all the products will be performed every day. Visitors will see windows installed using TruFit® professional expanding foam installation tape and the glass protection system TruShield® being applied and tested. Manufacturing insulated glass units with Super Spacer® will be shown too demonstrating how easy and cost effective the flexible foam system is. “Edgetech’s tongue-in-cheek gun amnesty is on the stand. Here installers can swap their old silicone guns for a FREE roll of TruFit. It will be great to see how many pioneering installers will take the opportunity to give this alternative fitting method a try.” Also on the stand will be Dealership Plus experts to go through the benefits of the awardwinning scheme. It’s often easier to discuss things face to face, and the FIT Show is a perfect opportunity to do this. Visitors can discuss their individual requirements to see how much time and money they can save on crucial services from the most comprehensive support initiative the industry has ever seen. “We are really excited about this year’s exhibition. Edgetech has something to offer for every part of the supply chain from IGU manufacturers, to fabricators and installers. We want to show visitors the expanded range of valueadding products and services,” adds Charlotte. “And being able to demonstrate how everything works on the stand should make it an interesting and worthwhile part of their FIT Show experience.” You can find Edgetech in Hall 3 on Stand 336 TAPE HELPS TO ACHIEVE PASSIVHAUS STANDARD IN AWARD WINNING BUILDING »»High performance foam sealing tape has helped a specialist timber frame building achieve Passivhaus low energy standards. Bespoke fenestration and composite windows company, JLH Bros of Kenilworth, used ISOCHEMIE BLOCO-ONE tape to seal doors and window installations in the awardwinning Whitwell House scheme on the north shore of Rutland Water. Constructed using a mix of traditional and modern STAND 380 building materials, JLH used high quality doors and windows from an Austrian supplier, with the excellent U values of the super insulated frames being matched by the innovative thermal, sound reducing and weatherproofing properties of ISO- Chemie BlocoOne. Iso-Chemie Bloco-One tape, which comes with a 10 year performance guarantee and provides up to 70% cost savings when compared to three other component systems, enables windows and doors to be quickly and easily sealed from inside the building. This avoids the need to use time consuming and costly external access systems like scaffolding and ladders and provides guaranteed high performance sealing for the lifetime of the window. Quick and easy-to-apply, the self-adhesive ISO- Stand 150 Chemie Bloco-One provides a high performance seal for window and door joints up to 30mm wide and is impermeable to driving rain at a minimum of 1,000 Pa, 66% higher reliability than most conventional joint sealing tapes. JLH Bros continue to use ISO-Chemie tapes on all window installations to create a perfect, energy rated seal, even in uneven Cotswold stone constructions, for example. Passivhaus or ‘Passive House’ is the fastest growing energy performance standard in the world and is based on achieving excellent thermal performance and exceptional airtightness with mechanical ventilation. The success of the Whitwell House project in achieving these aims was recognised when it was awarded the prestigious ProCon 2015 Sustainable Development Award. www.iso-chemie.co.uk STAND Suppliers of Hand Tools, Consumables & 237 T: Machine spares to the Window Industry 0844 880 0430 E: [email protected] T: www.wicuk.co.uk
