Achieving energy efficiency with new sealing tape 26 May 2021

Designed with sustainability, convenience and ease of installation in mind, illbruck has utilised the latest technology and innovation to develop its new TP654 illmod TRIO 1050 window and door sealing tape.

illbruck explains its TP654 offers a premium solution to meet the modern demands for energy and acoustic performance, coupled with exceptional weather tightness, strength and safety features as standard. Recognising that airtightness is a key element to achieve high energy performance buildings, TP654 has been engineered under a new geometric system to ensure warm or cold air is kept within a building. As a result, illbruck says the system will achieve new levels of energy efficiency and streamline projects for installers.

Available in only two dimensions of 6mm – 25mm, users can benefit from easy and reliable selection and enhanced stock control. The TP654’s rolls are also up to 90% longer, helping to speed up installation.

“The product is designed with sustainability in mind, as the construction industry is now working to nearly net zero energy use in new buildings since January this year and achieving airtightness in buildings will be a key component of that,” comments Alistair Inglis, sales director for Construction Products Group (CPG) UK’s sealing, bonding and insulation division – which includes the illbruck brand. “TP654 offers a lock tight solution to meet this need, centred around the development of new closed cell foam and airtight film technologies within the product’s design, combined with a new geometrical shape for maximum performance.”
