Rapid Sealing Solutions with the New Class B Fire Rated Window and Door Sealing Membrane + (ME020).
illbruck are proud to introduce the latest membrane in their ‘+’ range, Class B Fire Rated Window and Door Sealing Membrane + (ME020).
ME020 is a fully self-adhesive, breathable window sealing membrane with reaction to fire class B-s1,d0. Designed for the rapid installation of window and doors on modern construction projects, ME020 delivers not only durability, airtightness, fire safety, and extreme weather resistance, but with its high breathability and simultaneous water, weather- and airtightness, ME020 is the ideal solution for the high demands placed on window and façade sealing on high-rise buildings.
Why Choose ME020?
As the pressure to deliver construction projects on time only increases, high performance products that apply quickly, perform multiple tasks and maintain the highest levels of fire and weather resistance become even more important. The new ME020meets all these requirements, offering the highest levels of performance and designed for the needs of the modern construction environment. In fact, illbruck fully self-adhesive membranes have been shown to take 50% less installation time when compared to more traditional EPDM membrane with site applied paste adhesive.
What is more, this performance does not come with an increased environmental cost. ME020 meets EMICODE® EC1PLUS standard, a certification for building materials, indicating very low emissions and meet the most rigorous air quality standards.
Key Benefits of ME020
Increased Speed of Installation
Self-Adhesive membranes from illbruck have been tested and proven to be installed 50% faster than traditional EDPM membranes with site applied paste adhesive. This makes the new ME020 an ideal for fast moving projects where installation time is of the essence.
Combining Fire Performance with Ease of Application
ME020 delivers Class B fire rated protection, when installed directly over a mineral substrate with a fire Classification of A1 or A2-s1, d0 and a density ≥ 652.5 kg/m³ bonded to the substrate with the integral self-adhesive strips.
Outstanding Watertightness & Wind Resistance
Tested to W1+ industry standards, ME020 provides superior protection against wind-driven rain and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring building integrity in even the most challenging climates.
Self-adhesion to a full range of materials
ME020 is used as a self-adhesive external window sealing membrane in façades with increased fire protection requirements. Its self-adhesive properties enable quick and easy installation without any additional adhesive and on almost all substrates.
Unmatched UV Resistance & Open Façade Suitability
ME020 offers leading UV resistance, 12 months exposed, or permanent UV resistance when covered (including open joints with a maximum of 50mm).
Durable yet flexible design
Although built to be strong and tear resistant, the ME020 is also designed to be applied to the most complex details. ME020 is easy to cut, fold and apply on site.
Ideal for sealing linear joints
ME020 is particularly well-suited for sealing linear joints such as slab edge to frame connections, a critical junction where airtightness and weather resistance are paramount.
Advanced Breathability
The membrane conforms to our principles of ‘inside tighter than outside’ allowing moisture within the building to escape, preventing mould and mildew formation while maintaining an optimal indoor environment and protecting the investment of the Window or door it is sealing.
Superior Airtightness for Energy Efficiency
Designed with low energy and Passivhaus standards in mind, ME020 achieves excellent airtightness down to ≤ 0.1 m³/m².h@50 Pa, helping reduce energy loss and improve thermal performance.
Ideal Applications
Particularly well-suited for all window & door installations plus linear joint connections and other demanding construction scenarios. If you are looking for enhanced durability, superior weather resistance, and the highest level of fire safety assurance.
ME020 is available in 25m rolls, with pre-cut widths from 100mm to 350mm. With its integral self-adhesive strips, ME020 creates a seamless, airtight, and watertight barrier that enhances the longevity and performance.
