Working out quantities for your Carshalton job

Choosing adhesives and sealants

Fire-stopping

Ordinary foam is not a fire stop. Where a fire seal is required use a tested fire-rated product and install it as tested.

Which sealant where?

Use sanitary silicone in wet areas, low-modulus sealant around frames that move, and paintable caulk on trims to be decorated.

Adhesives, Sealants & Foam questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Carshalton?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can I paint over silicone?

Generally no. Use a paintable decorators' caulk if the joint will be painted.

How soon can adhesives and sealants be delivered in Carshalton?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually skins in minutes and cures over a day or more, depending on thickness and temperature. Check the cartridge.
