Fast, Flexible and Tough – ME020 Window and Door Sealing for High-Rise Buildings
As high-rise and high-risk residential projects continue to rise across the UK, selecting materials that meet strict performance and safety requirements has never been more important. illbruck’s latest innovation the ME020 FR Window and Door Sealing Membrane + Black SA has been engineered to meet these demands head-on, offering a Class B fire-rated, self-adhesive solution built for the challenges of tall façades.
Designed for compliance and performance
With buildings over 18 metres required to meet tighter safety regulations, the ME020 provides the assurance specifiers and contractors need. Delivering a reaction to fire classification of B-s1, d0, the membrane offers outstanding fire resistance alongside proven airtightness and weather protection. This makes it ideal for high-rise residential, student accommodation, and mixed-use developments, where safety and speed must work hand in hand.
Faster installation for high-rise efficiency
Time is critical on high-rise projects, where access is limited and installation sequencing must run smoothly. The self-adhesive ME020 has been shown to install up to 50% faster than traditional EPDM membranes with site-applied adhesive saving time without compromising performance. Its pre-applied adhesive ensures consistent application and eliminates the need for additional products, helping keep façades watertight and compliant with less effort.
Reducing waste and improving site efficiency
Sustainability and site management are crucial on large-scale projects. ME020 helps reduce waste through its single-product format, eliminating the need for additional adhesives and packaging. With fewer materials to handle and dispose of, contractors benefit from simplified logistics, cleaner work areas, and lower disposal costs.
This streamlined approach not only supports site efficiency but also contributes to leaner, more sustainable construction an increasingly important consideration for developers and contractors working on modern high-rise schemes on major construction projects.
Reliability all year round
Engineered to perform in real-world conditions, ME020 can be applied in temperatures from +5°C to +30°C, maintaining its strength and flexibility across changing weather conditions an essential benefit for projects running throughout the year.
“Achieving a Class B fire rating in a self-adhesive membrane is a major step forward,” says Alistair Inglis, Illbruck Sales Director. The ME020 is ideal for both high-rise and high-risk projects, offering the assurance of compliance alongside the benefits of faster, cleaner installation. It’s a product that delivers performance, reliability, and peace of mind.”
Fast, flexible, and tough the illbruck ME020 FR Window & Door Sealing Membrane + Black SA offers the assurance, performance, and simplicity required for today’s high-rise and high-risk residential construction.
