C O M tasks on any window or door installation is to apply a perimeter sealant, where the cost of materials is a matter of a few £s in comparison to the £000s charged for the overall installation. As much as the technologies in IGUs, window and door systems etc have moved on over the years, so too have modern day sealants. Therefore, before you or your fitting teams ‘gun up’ next time, it might be worth considering the quality of silicone used, or embrace the latest hybrids, that can even be applied in damp conditions. Our experience and rigorous testing as the UK’s largest independent sealant manufacturer have shown that there is a significant difference in performance between silicones; shrinkage and discolouration are two obvious issues. There’s also the consideration of the latest, new generation hybrid sealants that offer a number of additional performance credentials. This can be seen with our HY-SPEC® 25, a technological advancement for installers that’s paintable and was so warmly received at the recent FIT Show.
