But you’re probably wondering...
Why Obex?
Obex are experts in glazing and facade sealing technology. The business is ISO 9001 certified and is constantly innovating to bring the best products to the market.
Also, Obex is the only company in the UK whose Cortex FR and EPDM membrane systems are BBA approved by one of the recognized construction industry approval bodies. The approval process involves rigorous tests, onsite evaluations, inspections of production and compliance with relevant building regulations.
The membrane system has been certified for:
#1. Weathertightness. Protects the interior of a building from the passage of wind-driven rain, dust, snow, and run-off water.
#2. Air barrier continuity. Maintains air continuity at sills, lintels and jambs.
#3. Resistance to damage. It’s a robust system.
#4. Durability. Will function for the lifetime of the frame around which it is installed.
Let’s now look at the innovations in detail:
First, the Cortex EPDM provides an airtight and weather tight seal. Additionally, the membrane is environmentally friendly and contains no solvents hence prevents damage to adjacent surfaces.
Second, it’s the Cortex fire rated sealing system. As a fire rated alternative to EPDM, this system protects against water and air ingress in facades and commercial glazing while offering the highest levels of fire resistance. It includes the following:
#1. Class B fire rated paste adhesive
It’s the only Class B adhesive in the market for bonding fire-rated membranes. It’s easy to apply and bonds well with ordinary building substrates. Also, the paste is UV resistant and permanently elastic after curing.
#2. Non-combustible vapour barrier membrane
This is airtight, watertight and UV resistant.
#3. Non-combustible breather membrane and fire-rated pre-moulded corner
These are durable and the corners are easy to cut to suit your window projections.
Third, there’s the custom printed protection tape. With a natural rubber adhesive system, it’s ideal for protection of aluminium profiles either in storage or in transit. The tape is UV resistant for up to 12 months and can be cut to any width from 10mm to 1500mm.
Finally, Obex can provide on-site training and also makes deliveries within 48 hours to keep your project moving.
