100% performance in windows and doors from tremco illbruck

 tremco illbruck developed a solution that is both based on
proven technologies and which offers flexibility in use

As reports by the Zero Carbon Hub and other respected bodies have attested, new homes and non-residential properties have frequently failed to achieve their design performance standards in practice, with the door or window openings and other interfaces being areas of particular concern.

Specifiers will be reassured to learn then, that as an internationally-renowned manufacturer of sealants and other construction products, tremco illbruck has responded to the challenge by developing a solution that is both based on proven technologies and which offers flexibility in use.

tremco illbruck can supply both expanding weather-strips and compatible sealants to counter cold-bridging and help achieve very low levels of air leakage in order to meet PassivHaus or near-to-zero carbon standards, as well as the top levels of BREEAM.

Since tremco illbruck launched its i3 offering at Ecobuild three years ago - for the installation of windows within new-build and refurbished façades - the company has carried out trials with a number of respected fabricators including Nationwide Windows, Sidey, Lister Trade Frames and Passivlux all of which have proved successful.

Furthermore, tremco illbruck has become a key member of the Fabric First Academy, seeking to assist contractors and consultants achieve enhanced thermal performance and better airtightness.
