CLADSEAL is a unique shower tray and bath sealing system perfect for installation with wall cladding around shower trays and baths with no tile lip.
CLADSEAL was developed to seal the joint between shower wall cladding and the adjacent shower tray, bath or floor.
HOW IT WORKS:
The Cladseal Sealing System combines a 0.7" wide strip profile with a neutral curing silicone.
Cladseal is designed to span a gap of 0.4" between the wall and adjacent ledge. Low modulus, one part silicone sealant acts as a flexible sealing material between Cladseal and the adjacent ledge.
Excluding the uppermost surface (x), the inner cavity walls of Cladseal are partially layered with a polythene tape indicated by the green line. The silicone will not bond to this polythene tape.
When joint movement occurs between the wall and ledge, the silicone bonded to Cladseal at (x) and to the ledge at (y) comes under tension.
To reduce this build up of tension the silicone must stretch, but to stretch it must first release off the inner cavity walls of Cladseal so a silicone bond breaker is required. The polythene tape is our silicone bond breaker and this allows the silicone to release off the inner cavity walls of Cladseal and stretch to reduce the build up of tension.
Elasticity is created through the flexible "bridge" of silicone connecting (x) to (y). This "bridge" of silicone elongates to maintain stress free bonds with Cladseal at (x) and the ledge at (y). The silicone runs continuously through the corner joints, it remains visually concealed and environmentally protected inside the Cladseal strip.
The animation shows how this technology accommodates joint movement between the ledge and wall by the revolutionary use of the Cladseal System.
