Tried and trusted solutions for offsite manufacturing
Glidevale Protect is a respected and long-standing supplier to the offsite market, working closely with many modular partners who are implementing modern methods of construction (MMC) and volumetric construction, including manufacturers involved in structural timber and light gauge steel frame.
Solutions driven
We understand how the OSM sector works and that in addition to ensuring a product’s technical performance, deliveries to the different build stations on the production line are crucial in order to maximise the speed benefits of offsite manufacture, as a way towards ensuring DfMA efficiency.
We offer a range of solutions for the offsite market, for the external building envelope as well as for internal walls, floor cassettes and ceilings. Providing technical solutions for MMC across residential and commercial schemes, our products are regularly used to ensure:
As a subsidiary of Building Product Design Ltd, we are a dedicated manufacturer with two factory sites in the UK. We are a tried and trusted supply chain partner with almost 40 years’ experience covering key areas of material specification for residential or commercial build, including thermal efficiency, airtightness, ventilation, condensation control, natural daylight and damp proofing.

The membranes used from Protect tick all the boxes of performance for this unique café development. As the building is sited in a particularly harsh and exposed coastal climate, it was critical that the outer membrane Protect Thermo Extreme offered a primary line of protection to the whole of the external wall during the construction as well as providing enhanced thermal resistance to meet our target U-value. Combined with Protect VC Foil Ultra, which we have tried and tested over many years, this ensured condensation risk was managed and controlled.
