Edwardian house benefi ts from sealant tape
ISO-Chemie’s thermal insulating and load bearing bracket support system is providing energy effi ciency improvements to an Edwardian property in Oxfordshire. WINFRAMER units have been retrofi tted as part of an initiative to bring the poorly insulated solid walled house built in 1909 in Oxford, up to current energy effi ciency standards, providing better quality accommodation for the homeowner along with long-term cost savings. Passivhaus certifi ed and fi re rated to up to 30 minutes, WINFRAMER is a prefabricated installation frame, manufactured to accommodate cavities up to 250 mm that allows windows to be supported independently from the face of the wall regardless of any external cladding being in place. Quick and easy to install, the product’s application in Oxford is seen as part of a solution to meet a wider Government strategy to reduce carbon levels in housing that has single skin walls or non-cavity walls - these buildings have a reputation for leaking considerable amounts of energy, heat and sound. The composite WINFRAMER brackets can bear heavy window loads, including bi-fold doors, to provide a reliable, strong and high-performance support frame. Installation is quick with windows attached directly and secured mechanically using either standard fi xing screws or fi xing lugs in the usual manner.

Pyroguard has been specifi ed as part of the transformation of the former corporate offi ce headquarters of telecommunications company Canal+ into an ambitious mixed-use development in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. The project introduced new vertical connections, expanded facade elements and a redesigned central patio, all supported by an enhanced steel structure. At the heart of this transformation was the integration of Pyroguard’s high-performance fi re safety glass, delivering both aesthetic appeal and uncompromising protection. To support the architects’ vision of light and openness, 650 m2 of Pyroguard Protect EI60 fi re- rated glass was installed internally to form elegant edge-to-edge partitions around the stairwells, atrium and meeting rooms to provide visual continuity while meeting vigorous fi re safety standards. Pyroguard Protect allows maximum natural light to fi lter through interior spaces while maintaining 60 minutes of fi re protection. Its superior acoustic performance and UV stability enhance occupant comfort and building longevity, making it the ideal solution for a development prioritising both design excellence and well-being.
