Whitechapel Hotel
19th September 2017

Foam tapes from ISO-CHEMIE were specified to provide effective sealing of small tolerance gaps around new windows installed at a 30-room hotel development in London’s East End.

The Iso-Bloco One tape was used to seal heritage-style aluminium windows to a 0.8W/M2k rating with added 63dB of sound reduction at the Whitechapel Hotel, which stands on the site of a former textile factory close to Brick Lane.

The self-adhesive tape accommodated external frame apertures, which varied in size from 2mm to 8mm.

Installation of the new windows, which featured small profiles specifically designed to replicate the appearance of the previous Crittall steel framed ones, was undertaken by Suffolk-based GS Installations as part of a multimillion-pound overhaul of the site.

The tape also ensures that the windows will remain weather proof to 1000 Pa – the equivalent to 130mph of constant driving rain.
