Vivalda Agrees Distribution Deal with Secolite and Wraptite

NATIONAL FACADES SPECIALIST Vivalda has signed an agreement with Secolite and Wraptite to distribute breather membranes and cement boards respectively.

Contractors will now be able to source breather membranes and building boards as well as cladding panels, framings and fixings from Vivalda’s extensive UK branch network.

Wes Hague, Vivalda Group Commercial Director

Commenting on the new partnerships, Wes Hague, Commercial Director of Vivalda Group, said: “As the UK’s largest distributor of high performance, non-flammable rainscreen façades, our mission is to make life simple for contactors and developers alike.

“While our off-site ‘cut-to-size’ service is hugely popular with installers keen to minimise waste and maximise efficiencies, our new relationships with Wraptite and Secolite take that concept a step further, enabling contractors to order everything they need for the project from a single, trusted source.”

Wraptite

By combining vapour permeability and airtightness in a unique, self-adhering membrane, Wraptite offers a fast and effective solution to unplanned air leakage and its detrimental effects on energy performance.

With an Sd-value of just 0.039m and BBA certification for a comprehensive range of wall and roof constructions, this high-performance air barrier solution can be employed on projects from domestic scale timber frame to large steel framed high-rise.

Secolite

Secolite is an A1 fire rated, lightweight board made of Portland cement, aggregates and other inert materials, reinforced on both sides with embedded glass fibre.

Designed specifically for light steel frame (LSF) systems, these products are the ideal solution as a substrate board to be plastered directly or for a weather-resistant ventilated facade system. Easy to cut, handle and install, Secolite does not require power tools or dust extraction to install.

Vivalda Group distributes and manufactures non-flammable rainscreen cladding. Operating from 11 branches across the UK and Ireland, the business supplies contractors with a wide range of fully tested, high performance cladding brands including Equitone, Cedral, Rockpanel, Reider, Trespa, Tonality and Viroc.
