Bloomberg's new £1.3 billion headquarters in Queen Victoria Street, London, have been supported by ISO-CHEMIE's advanced sealing tape technology.
Described as 'a once in a generation project' due to its world-renowned sustainability, the award-winning office complex was designed by architects Foster and Partners. The building is designed to use 70% less water and 40% less energy.
ISO-CHEMIE's BLOCO ONE CONTROL was installed on hundreds of windows of the office space, providing long-term protection against wind-blown rain ingress as well as an effective acoustic and thermal seal.
Andy Swift, ISO-CHEMIE's national sales manager, said: "Developers of buildings like the Bloomberg office want new ways to deliver low carbon structures, which use sustainable technologies. Our tapes support this, delivering measurable airtight, acoustic and thermal sealing properties."
Up to 70% cost savings can be achieved using ISO-CHEMIE's tapes, which enable installers to seal windows from inside the building and avoid the need to use time consuming and costly scaffolding and ladders among other external access systems.
The tapes offer a single product 'fit and forget' solution for fast and effective sealing based around the European RAL principles of three level sealing - the inside seal area is more airtight than the external one, allowing any trapped moisture inside the joint, or within the wall, to escape outwards rather than into the building.
