TAPE FOR MOST DEMANDING INSTALLATIONS

»»
BLACKBURN ’ S MCDERMOTT Windows has become the latest glazing business to begin using tremco illbruck ’ s TP650 Trio impregnated tape .
The long-established family firm now uses tremco illbruck ’ s high-performance installation products on its most demanding installations , ensuring outstanding thermal efficiency , weather-resistance and all-round performance .
TP650 Trio is a pre-compressed , multi-functional polyurethane tape that ’ s impregnated with flame-retardant resin . Designed for new-build and replacement installations , it ’ s quick and simple to apply , and is vapour-permeable while still offering driving rain resistance of up to 600 Pa .
It ’ s fully compliant with BS8213-4:2016 CoP for the survey and installation of windows and external door sets , and the Glass and Glazing Federation ’ s Guide to Good Practice .
McDermott Managing Director Stephen McDermott commented : “ Our ethos is very clear – quality products are only worthwhile if you fit them properly .
“ A triple-A-rated , top-of-the-line window will not deliver the level of performance that the end-user expects if corners have been cut during the installation process . That ’ s why we like tremco illbruck ’ s TP650 Trio . It ’ s quick , easy , and extremely reliable - and it ensures that every door and window product we install fulfils its potential .”

A TRULY REVOLUTIONARY DOOR

2018 has already been a great start for Manchesterbased windows and doors company , Force 8 . The company that has manufactured windows and doors for over 25 years has added the Zermatt Decadence door to its ever-expanding collection of exclusive doors .
»»
WITHIN THE CURRENT MARKET , there has been a high demand for coloured doors and Force 8 has been the first company to think about developing a design that combines two colours on to a contemporary door . The Zermatt Decadence door is the first of its kind that features an offset groove , and this adds uniqueness to the design .
Stainless steel hardware from Force 8 can added to the overall design as this complements the aluminium smooth finish and the colour scheme which can be used to enhance the kerb appeal of a home .
One of the recent developments by Force 8 is the aluminium smooth finish that features on all the decadence composite doors , giving the look of an aluminium door with the added thermal benefits of a composite door .
