Edgetech reports increase in TruFit tape sales

Edgtech has reported that sales of its TruFit installation tape have ‘noticeably increased’ in recent months.

“TruFit offers a much quicker, cleaner and thermally efficient method of installing windows,” said head of sales Tony Palmer.

“Once the tape’s backing paper is removed, it gradually expands to seal the window fully, ensuring it offers exceptional all-round performance.

“TruFit protects against mould, and provides first-class thermal and acoustic insulation.

“On average, a window installed with TruFit retains up to 23% more heat compared to one fitted using traditional methods,” he continued. “In addition to this, it’s much easier to apply than silicone and can be used in all weathers.

“All this makes it an excellent choice for helping build the energy-efficient windows of the future – and it’s no surprise that, both for cutting carbon footprints and energy bills during a cost of living crisis, demand for products like TruFit is rising.

“An A+ rated window isn’t delivering an A+ rated performance if it’s not fitted properly – and with TruFit, installers can ensure outstanding 21st century windows are fulfilling their potential.”

The recently released Spring edition of the Keystone Consumer Fenestration Trends report revealed that many people are unhappy with their current windows and doors.

Draughty homes topped the list, with 16% of homeowners reporting issues with cold air leaks, often attributed to poorly fitted windows and doors or worn-out seals.

Energy efficiency was another big concern, with 12% of homeowners feeling their windows and doors weren’t keeping their homes comfortable or saving them money on energy bills.
Noise pollution was also cited as a problem, with 7% of homeowners mentioning outside noise coming through their windows and doors.

Tony continued: “Homeowners are clearly more concerned about window performance than ever – and TruFit can give them the comfort, quiet and energy savings they’re looking for!”
