Sealing profiles crucial for sustainable construction

A guarantee of optimal convenience and living comfort

A comfortable home today must meet many requirements. It must be built to be airtight, energy-efficient, prevent moisture problems and meet the highest noise protection requirements. The sealing profiles from DEVENTER Profielen in Breda - a member of the ROTO Group - play a crucial role in the smart sustainable construction and renovation of homes.

"A house with window and door frames fitted with DEVENTER sealing profiles meets the requirements and wishes of users and processors in every respect, both in quality, durability and application. Moreover, there is a guarantee of optimum ease of use and living comfort," says Commercial Manager Jean-Paul Batenburg of DEVENTER Profielen. When it comes to living comfort, he says the air quality in particular is a decisive factor. "Good crack sealing prevents drafts and, together with ventilation, ensures pleasant humidity, which in turn contributes to a healthy indoor climate."

KOMO quality mark

To properly seal window and door structures, DEVENTER Profielen develops and produces a complete package of sealing profiles for facade elements, both standard and customized. "For decades, we have been the specialist who, on the basis of personal and expert advice, provides the frame industry with the best suitable solution around making window and door systems wind- sound- and watertight, but also smoke-resistant and fire-retardant," continues Batenburg. 

"In this regard, the DEVENTER profile design can be considered unique and the tolerance capacity is high. The available experience and expertise has been confirmed over the years with various ISO and IFT certificates and the KOMO seal of approval for now a large number of seals in the range. Various seals for inward and outward opening windows and doors have also been tested for air permeability and classified according to Dutch and European guidelines. As a result, our sealing profiles are suitable for class 3 airtight construction and comply with the toughest class 4 NEN-EN-12207."

Easy mounting

Processors and end users are always guaranteed the right sealing solution with DEVENTER sealing profiles, emphasizes Batenburg. "Besides being distinguished by optimal sealing with high insulation performance, our sealing profiles are also easy to install. For example, the new series of SPV seals features a hard back and flexible Vario foot construction for excellent grip in the groove. The closed section microfoam of the profile is responsible for optimum insulation value and a pleasant closing pressure. In short, a home executed with such high-quality high-performance seals in combination with defining components in the overall facade and window and door construction - including insulating glass and adjustable hardware - is a model of comfort."

Cradle to Cradle

Not only are the sealing profiles distinctive in design and quality, they also offer added value in terms of sustainability in an increasingly smart and healthier built home, Batenburg knows. "Because the sealing profiles are made of TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer, ed.) they are free of chemical components and reusable. Moreover, they are produced in an environmentally friendly way. Thus we find perfect fit in circular applications. The basis of these responsible profiles lies in the combination of high quality and efficient design. This makes them a fundamental component in every window frame and crucial in every comfortable home and smart sustainable building concept. Moreover, DEVENTER Profielen is one of the initiators of the C2C Building Group. This makes us the most environmentally conscious specialist in sealing profiles. Now and in the future!"
