From Fire Protection to Liquid Waterproofing: Tremco’s Comprehensive Building Protection Solutions
Tremco CPG UK is a leading player in the construction sector, offering a portfolio of eight market-leading brands that provide specialist expertise in building protection. These brands work together to create safer, stronger, and more sustainable buildings, moreover, offering a solution to impending environmental challenges that we commonly face.
Understanding the possible challenges in relation to any build is important. During this stage, think about the environment that the building is placed in and how this may impact on its design. For example, the environment may produce high levels of moisture or the project may be situated in an area prone to adverse weather patterns. In instances like this, a solution that provides a robust weathertight steel would be required.
The Met Office reported in 2024, that the UK experienced a year of notable weather extremes, with 2024 experiencing the 8th wettest spring and winter on record. Overall the rainfall recorded was 1.242 mm, 107% of the average rainfall. Although the high level of rainfall, 2024 was also recorded as the ‘warmest year for average minimum temperatures’. This temperature is calculated on the average maximum and minimum temperatures recorded daily by each weather station.

The FZ400 has been rigorously tested to EN 1366-3/4, achieving up to 2 hours fire rating after undergoing cyclic movement, proving its effectiveness in real-world scenarios where structural movement is inevitable.
The FZ400 offers proven fire protection in real-world conditions, ensuring life safety, building compliance, and long-term reliability, even in structures subject to movement.
Illbruck
illbruck focuses on sealing, bonding, and insulation technologies that support airtightness in buildings.
The recently launched illbruck plus range, includes the ME007 FR Window & Door Sealing Membrane +, and when tested around a window in a key BBA test, resisted the passage of water at 2400pa. This is equivalent to rain battering the membrane at 130mph.
The ME007 + is an example of from the illbruck range that provides critical protection against the severe weather and water ingress, preventing the risk of structural damage, mould, and interior damp caused by water leakage.
