GLIDEVALE Protect has announced a partnership with RGB Facades, bringing its new range of fire rated external wall membranes to RGB Facades’ customers.
RGB Facades, a specialist in rainscreen cladding, offers solutions including brick and stone, metal, decorative panels, and glass fibre reinforced concrete.
Glidevale Protect’s new Class A2-s1, d0 fire rated external wall membrane, Protect FrameSafe FR with its Protect FR lap sealing tape is available as a fully fire tested system, forming part of RGB Facade’s portfolio of façade products for the medium and high-rise construction market.
It will be joined by the newly launched Protect FrameSafe 5000 FR, manufactured with only printed lap lines and no logos, which is said to make it ‘ideal’ for open façade cladding applications while its ‘strong’ UV stability means it can withstand exposure of up to six months during construction. Protect FrameSafe FR and Protect FrameSafe 5000 FR are designed for use on the external side of the frame to integrate with façade wall structures on low, medium and high-rise buildings over 11 or 18m.
Danny McQuaid, MD at RGB Facades, said, “Collaboration with industry specialists like Glidevale Protect is crucial as it enables us to offer a full spectrum of façade solutions. We pride ourselves on supporting our customers with technical expertise to guide them through the specification process for each project – a principle that is shared by Glidevale Protect. As well as supplying a wide range of high quality products, we also need to be able to rely on transparent technical information from our suppliers too.”
John Mellor, head of marketing at Glidevale Protect, added, “We’re pleased to announce this new collaborative partnership with RGB Facades. Like us, they are committed to offering their clients an array of innovative façade solutions as well as a dedicated technical service to support customers through the specification of appropriate products for use as part of a building system. RGB Facades is already one of our key distributors of the Protect FrameSafe FR range and we’re looking forward to seeing our products specified and installed as part of their customers’ projects going forward.”
