Construction division
Our Construction Division has one of the most comprehensive cavity tray ranges available, in addition to air and vapour control layers, and construction membranes for walls, floors, ceilings and specialist applications.
Airtightness products
Glidevale Protect’s comprehensive range of airtightness solutions include air and vapour control layers (AVCLs), air barriers, a range of loft access hatches and sealing tapes. As the requirement for increased airtightness in buildings intensifies in order to address the global challenges of climate change, a fabric first approach from Glidevale Protect ensures full compliance to the latest regulations, including Passivhaus, helping to deliver low carbon designs and improved energy efficiency.

Breather membranes
Glidevale Protect offers a complete range of external wall breather membranes ideal for offsite and volumetric construction projects. Our collection includes reflective, insulating membranes which are ideal to enhance the overall thermal performance of many wall types including timber frame, Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels and light gauge steel frame construction. Used on the cold side of the insulation, the membranes’ high vapour permeability combines with our air and vapour control layers on the warm side of the insulation to deliver full condensation control and the management of moisture within the wall cavity.

Fire rated solutions
For those specifying with safety in mind, our fire rated wall membrane solutions are suitable for use across low, medium and high rise applications over 11 and 18m in height, whether residential or commercial buildings. Future proofed against further regulation changes, they exceed Building Regulations Approved Document Part B in England and Building Regulations Technical Guidance Document B in Ireland. They have been independently and rigorously tested to give peace of mind on high risk buildings.
A robust fire safety strategy should be integrated from the very initial designs stages of a project, providing a ‘golden thread’ of information throughout the construction and post-occupancy stages. Partnering with a manufacturer that can provide full transparency of how the product has been developed and tested, and technical support throughout the installation process is an important step on the journey to designing, constructing and maintaining safer buildings for all.

Cavity trays
Glidevale Protect’s comprehensive range of cavity trays offers a full solution for use in brick, block or random stone external masonry walls to prevent rain from penetrating external walls in accordance with British Standards and the NHBC. Our trays incorporate an array of features and benefits for ease of installation. They are specifically designed with all components being pre-formed or pre-creased to avoid inadequate installation and the issues most often found with conventional sheet DPC materials which can be difficult to form on-site.
