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.
A listed north Devon home, built
around 1550, has been given a
contemporary look thanks to its
redecoration with Earthborn paints.
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.
It can also be used in CAD software
such as ‘Autodesk Revit, while an
electronic CAD product catalogue
will be available as a supplement
to this as more products are at the
planning stage.

The previous owners limewashed
it inside and out, but current
owner Simon Clarke said: “The
house is built of Devon cob, a clay
soil based building material. It’s
important that these old, natural
walls can breathe, to prevent
damage caused by moisture build
up. So I needed breathable paints,
but I didn’t want to use limewash
again. I wanted to create a more
contemporary feel, use a wider
palette of colours and avoid the
regular repainting that’s needed
with limewash.”
Simon’s research drew him to
Earthborn paints, which can
be used straight over existing
limewash.
He selected Earthborn’s Ecopro
Silicate Masonry system for the
external walls.
The Ecopro Silicate Masonry
System offers a durable, easy to
use alternative to limewash and
conventional masonry paints.
The result is a very hard wearing,
water and weather resistant barrier.
It offers the same high levels of
breathability as limewash but
is easier to use and lasts much
longer.
Useful for any porous mineral
surface, Ecopro Silicate Masonry
Paint gives a classic matt finish
that will not yellow with time. It
even helps prevent algae growth
and mould.

RONSEAL ADDS PIONEERING PRODUCT
TO BBA CERTIFIED WOODCARE RANGE
Ronseal has expanded its bespoke trade
range of BBA accredited wood care
products to include the new Ronseal
Trade 10 Year Woodstain.
Mark Pereira, Trade Product Manager at
Sherwin Williams, said: “We’ve had a wonderful
response from trade channels since we re-
launched these products in April 2017, and
we’re certain the 10 Year Woodstain will be just
as welcome for our trade customers.
The range of Ronseal Trade products
was launched in April 2017 following
research with merchants and end users
that identified an increased demand
for Ronseal’s well respected woodcare
products in the trade segment.
“The product has been designed to help
make the lives of professional builders and
tradespeople that much easier. The decade
of protection it provides, as well as its BBA
certification offers added assurance of quality
from an independent body.”
The innovative new 10 Year Woodstain
product helps professional tradesmen
protect exterior wood for even longer.
Rainproof in only one hour and with added
protection to resist cracking, peeling
and blistering, its unique formulation
means you only have to paint exterior
windows and doors once and they will
stay protected and looking great for the
next ten years.
The revolutionary product - the only one
promising a decade of weatherproofing
on the UK market – has been created by
Ronseal’s Research and Development team
using new resin technology to provide a barrier
against whatever the great British weather tries
to throw at it, including UV rays and wet, cold,
icy, conditions.
