New 3D BIM service launched by ISO CHEMIE
Foam tape sealing company ISO CHEMIEhas extended the scope of its specialist services with the launch of
new 3D BIM technology. The move will enable architects and designers to integrate high quality scaled digital
information around window and door sealing solutions as part of their 3D visualisations and client presentations.
BIM is playing an increasingly significant role in the design and delivery of large and complex fenestration projects
and installations in the UK. Product information and specification data from the company’s joint sealing tapes,
multi-function joint sealing tapes and in-front-of-wall installation systems such as Winframer will be available
initially for downloading free as BIM-ready items via http://www.portal.iso-chemie.eu or an external database. It can
also be used in CAD software such as ‘Autodesk Revit, while an electronic CAD product catalogue will be
available as a supplement to this as more products are at the planning stage. The new service will facilitate the
planning, delivery and management of window and door design and installations using a common data model
for all participants. All the relevant building data is digitally recorded, combined and interlinked in a model.

Samuel HeathPowermatic door closers deliver outstanding performance in fire resistance and accessibility,
but it is their concealment that brings a host of benefits for hotel projects, making them the specifier’s choice
for hotel interiors.Fitting neatly between the door and frame, Powermatic door closers are totally concealed when the door is
closed, ensuring that nothing interferes with the appearance of the door and interior. They also help to create
a more homely, less functional, or institutionalised, ambience within the room.These benefits have seen Powermatic used by the world’s leading designers on impressive hotel projects across
the globe, including The Savoy and Brown’s Hotel, London; ARIA resort and casino, Las Vegas; Hilton,
Manchester and the exclusive South Lodge hotel and spa in Surrey.
