TAPE HAS NEW LOW CARBON HOMES SEALED
»»
ISO-CHEMIE ’ S EXPANDING FOAM sealing tape has been specified for a low carbon housing project , which incorporates the latest developments in sustainable building technologies .
More than 240 properties at Little Kelham , on the banks of the River Don in Sheffield , feature ISO BLOCO ONE tape , which provides a high performance airtight , acoustic and thermal seal for hundreds of new doors and windows . Developed by sustainable urban developer , Citu , in collaboration with Historic England , the houses have been built combining Scandinavian design and renewable construction materials to lower the carbon footprint of the occupants .
Andy Swift , ISO-CHEMIE ’ s national sales manager , said : “ Developers like Citu are looking at new ways to deliver low carbon homes , which use sustainable technologies . Involvement in this and other ground-breaking projects reinforces our strong environmental credentials and showcases the long term airtight , acoustic and thermal benefits of sealing tapes .”
ISO-BLOCO ONE offers a ‘ fit and forget ’ solution based around the European RAL principles of three level sealing . The inside seal area is more airtight than the external one , allowing any trapped moisture inside the joint , or within the wall , to escape outwards ; meanwhile a building is better protected from elemental factors like wind , dust and moisture ingress .
