Glidevale Protect provides a clear route to compliance

Glidevale Protect is launching a new campaign to highlight the importance of technical transparency that ensures the accuracy and clarity of all product information.

Glidevale Protect, a leading manufacturers of construction and roofing membranes, as well as airtightness products, has invested in the development and testing of its membrane product range to provide reliable technical information that is fully supported by third-party accreditations. This not only ensures that all performance claims can be checked and verified but also provides specifiers with a clearer view of how the products can help achieve compliance. 

Glidevale Protect fully supports specifiers by providing aged thermal resistance values on external and internal reflective membranes to accurately reflect real life performance figures. As well as providing full transparency on the testing of its products, Glidevale Protect’s own best practice ensures all its thermal resistance results take into account any logo printing on the low-emissivity surface and are based on the membranes being installed with the appropriate maximum horizontal fixing centres of 600mm as recommended.

Helping specifiers identify how best to achieve compliance with all relevant regulations, standards and guidance, by providing substantiated technical information is also vital to bridging the ‘performance gap’ so that buildings are as energy efficient in operation as they were designed to be. To navigate this potential risk, Glidevale Protect ensures that all its product information is regularly updated when required and easily accessible via its website, with all specifications written to be both comprehensive and clear.

The need to create buildings that achieve the correct balance between thermal efficiency, airtightness, ventilation, and condensation control is another challenge that Glidevale Protect believes can be successfully overcome through early engagement and close supply chain collaboration. To support this, the company has invested in its own in-house resources, from ensuring the continuous development of its product range to comply with the ISO 9001 quality standard and meet the requirements of both the UK and Irish construction markets, to obtaining independent verification from UKAS accredited certification bodies such as BM TRADA.
