Cladseal
Cladseal is used at the bottom of panels to ensure a durable waterproof fitting.
How it works:
Cladseal combines a rigid pvc strip with Sealux-N silicone. Each strip has a green tape applied to the inside face. This is a silicone bond-breaker that prevents the silicone bonding to this part of the strip.
The silicone only bonds to the upper part of the strip at x and the ledge at y. To accommodate joint movement the silicone releases off the green tape and stretches like an elastic band to create a flexible bridge between the strip at x and the ledge at y. This “bond-breaker” tape creates great flexibility in the silicone, the “shielding” effect of the strip over the silicone promotes durability.ur
