Development contract sealed

ISO-Chemie’s impregnated expanding foam tape ISO-Bloco T-Max was used to provide a high performance sealing solution for new waterside apartments built in Manchester’s Piccadilly area.
 
The tape was fitted as a seal between the top of the parapet walls and roofing to cater for large differential movement in dozens of luxury en-suite apartments, which make up the Quantum waterside residential scheme developed by Leeds-based Renaker Build.
 
The combination of one, two and three bedroom apartments, which feature open plan fitted kitchens, balconies and private terraces, overlook the Ashton Canal and have been developed as part of an ongoing scheme to regenerate the old canal side areas of central Manchester.
 
More than 450m of ISO-Bloco T-Max was specified to accommodate differential movement on the five storey buildings – it seals larger joints ranging in width from 14mm to 50mm, providing excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
 
Product can accommodate a temperature range of -30° to +90° and is impermeable to driving rain with a minimum of 450 Pa.

Once installed, timber framed buildings are better protected from elemental factors like wind, dust and moisture ingress by accommodating the changes in structural movement caused by environmental, cyclical and settlement factors. The product remains permanently flexible throughout its life expectancy of 25 years plus.
