Expresso Brown dominates foiled PVC-ue market

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team May 30, 2006

The colour stable PVF foil is produced by Du Pont and bonded by Celuform onto the profile surface.

One of the UK's best selling cellular plastic foiled profiles will not disappear thanks to successful negotiations with the manufacturer of the foiling material.

Stocks of Expresso Brown, the only solid brown foiled product available for the UK building market, and offered across a broad selection of Celuform PVC-ue roofline and cladding products, were almost depleted because supplies of the unique heat reflective foil were unavailable.

The foil material was originally developed for the aerospace industry where the requirement has now lapsed but the manufacturer has been impressed by the strength of demand for Celuform's Expresso Brown range and will now continue to produce it exclusively for the Kent based cellular PVC manufacturer.

The colour stable PVF foil is produced by Du Pont and bonded by Celuform onto the profile surface.

It is available on a large selection of Celuform's best selling roofline and cladding profiles, including Open V-Joint, Elite, Conquest and multi-purpose board.

Because of its original development criteria, Expresso Brown foil is designed to withstand extremes of temperature variation and ultra violet light exposure.

These properties are vital where large areas of PVC are subjected to weathering, as on the cladding of buildings.

The foil is only available from Celuform and is the highest specification product of its kind available in the UK.

The company's faith in the product is such that it recently extended the product guarantee against defects and discoloration to 15 years.

Because Expresso Brown is available for the Elite Conquest fascia system, as well as Open V-Joint cladding, the whole frontage of a property can be clad in matching dark brown roofline and weatherboarding.

Celuform supplies stockists throughout the UK and Europe.

The company was the first UK manufacturer of PVC-ue building products and is now the market leader.
