Rubber World Industries (RWI), a leading manufacturer of closed-cell rubber insulation 'Gulf-O-flex' in the Gulf and South-East Asia, said it has won a contract to deliver eco-friendly rubber insulation products in ‘The Villa’ at Dubailand.

RWI will meet the unique requirements at the Dh1 billion ($272 million) residential project, said a company official.

The contract with Rubber World is part of the Dh20 million heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) contract that was awarded earlier to Nash Consumer Electronics who is the HVAC contractor for the project.

“We are proud to be a part of this project, which underscores the quality of our ‘Gulf-O-Flex’ products and its value to new developments with the highest level of construction standards,” said Abu Baker Shaikhani, RWI managing director and chairman of Memon Group.

According to him, RWI currently holds 86 per cent of the UAE market share for eco-friendly rubber insulation products.

Rubber World’s involvement with the large-scale community project has been driven by the high quality of its ‘Gulf-O-Flex’ rubber insulation tubes - a Chlorofluorocarbon-free (CFC) product designed to retard heat gain and prevent condensation or frost formation on refrigerant lines, cold water plumbing and chilled water systems, he pointed out.

"Our goal to capture a larger market share for eco-friendly rubber insulation products in the UAE is the primary motivator in our efforts to take high performance rubber insulation products closer to regional customers, while promoting adherence to ‘green’ building codes across the emirates."

Currently under construction, ‘The Villa’ is a project of Al Mazaya Holding, which will offer a range of villa sizes to cater to the needs of all segments of home seekers and investors.

Set to incorporate entertainment facilities, green spaces, health clubs and mosques, the project was designed in accordance with the 'Santa Victoria' architectural system, which was set by Dubai Properties.-TradeArabia News Service
