Fakro Trim XWT Insulation Band

Fakro Trim XWT Insulation Band

The FAKRO XWT Insulation Band is a practical installation accessory designed to improve the insulation around FAKRO roof windows installed at V depth. Made from polyethylene with a self-adhesive backing, the tape is designed to fill the narrow gap between the roof window frame and the surrounding roof structure. By helping close this gap, the XWT insulation band can make it easier to achieve an effective installation while reducing the potential for thermal bridging. It provides a simple way to add insulation around the window frame without requiring complicated installation methods.

Designed for V-Depth Roof Window Installation

The XWT is specifically intended for use when installing FAKRO roof windows at V depth. During installation, the insulation tape is pulled over the window frame to help fill the space between the frame and the roof. A specially designed rim on the tape prevents it from being pulled too far over the window frame. This helps position the insulation correctly during installation and makes the process more straightforward.

Self-Adhesive Polyethylene Construction

The XWT is manufactured from polyethylene and features a self-adhesive backing, allowing it to be positioned securely during installation. Its flexible construction makes it suitable for following the contours around the roof window frame. The width of the insulation tape varies according to the size of the roof window, ensuring that the appropriate XWT variant can be selected for the relevant window dimensions.

Helps Reduce Thermal Bridging

Proper insulation around a roof window is important for reducing gaps where heat can potentially be lost. The XWT helps fill the narrow space between the window frame and roof, supporting a more complete insulation installation. By providing an additional insulating layer around the frame, it helps reduce the possibility of thermal bridging and contributes to a more effectively insulated roof window installation.
