Moneypenny, Wrexham
19th September 2017

Airtightness and weather sealing for windows at the £15m headquarters of telephone answering service Moneypenny in Wrexham, was achieved with products from TREMCO ILLBRUCK.

Designed by AEW Architects, the 91,000sq.ft, three storey complex has floor-to-ceiling Velfac windows. These were installed within an aluminium rain screen, flush with the steel structural framing system. With the primary line of airtightness at the outer cement particleboard, the aim was to achieve 3 m³/h.m² at 50 Pa but, with the use of illbruck products, 2.88 m³/h.m² at 50 Pa was achieved.

The installation included illbruck ME501 Duo Window Membrane HD wrapped around the steel SFS and bonded centrally. illbruck ME315 Total Protection Tape was used to bond the edges of the membrane to the CP board. The building is in an exposed situation, taking the full force of wind and rain, so illbruck SP525 Frame and Façade Sealant and Adhesive was used at the joints.
