Paragon Approval for New Virtuoso Tape

Paragon Joinery has given its official approval to a new glazing tape from Tremco-illbruck that has been developed specifically for use with its new Virtuoso timber window system.

The new Virtuoso profiles from Paragon are available in a timber-only version or with an external Renolit PVC foil. A range of profiles is available which require no painting or varnishing whilst giving the appearance of traditional painted or varnished wood.

To enhance the security of the new high performance timber profiles Tremco-illbruck has introduced the new Virtuoso security glazing tape, which Paragon is now recommending to its fabricators.

The Virtuoso tape comprises a high quality closed cell foam coated on both sides with a powerful pressure sensitive adhesive that is both UV and moisture resistant for effective long term performance.

The tape has high elasticity and its cohesive strength ensures that an extremely durable and long lasting seal is created between the glazed unit and the profile, effectively bonding the glass into the timber system.

Quick and easy to apply, the Virtuoso tape incorporates a special non-tearing filmic liner to aid positioning of the tape during assembly of the window system.

Also available from Tremco-illbruck for use with the Virtuoso system is the Webbseal 56LM, low modulus neutral curing silicone that is used to cap off the tape.

The use of laminated timber in the Virtuoso range means that the frames are over 33% more stable and less likely to move or distort than traditional frames. The use of laminated timber profiles means the system makes substantial savings over the cost of manufacturing traditional window frames.

Tremco-illbruck was formed by the merger of Tremco Ltd. and illbruck Sealant Systems Ltd.
