The new Compriband Timber Max pre-compressed foam sealing tape has an extended joint movement capability from 13mm to 50mm – making it ideal for the perimeter sealing of window installations in timber frame structures.

When used to seal gaps at the head and sill of window frames, the tape’s open-cell foam nature acts like a spring– exerting a continuous outward pressure on the adjoining building components, whilst yielding to further compression to provide a tough, rubber like joint seal.

The flexible nature of the foam and its extended movement range enables it to sustain its sealing performance and maintain a long lasting weatherproofing solution to a minimum of 450Pa, says illbruck. Compriband Timber Max is an anthracite-coloured polyurethane foam that is impregnated with a flame retardant polymer.

The new sealing tape is supplied in roll form, pre-compressed with a self-adhesive backing on one side to aid fixing. Two grades of material are available, a 50mm wide tape for joint widths of 13-50mm and a 40mm wide tape for joint widths of 13-40mm.
