Getting the right adhesives and sealants

Which sealant where?

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

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.

How much will you need?

Sealing round 10 windows of about 1.2 × 1.2 m is roughly 48 m of joint. A 310 ml cartridge runs about 3 m of a 10 × 10 mm bead, so allow 16 cartridges of frame sealant.

How delivery works in Nelson

Boxed with the rest of your order. Nelson is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Nelson, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Adhesives, Sealants & Foam in Nelson: questions

Can I paint over silicone?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Nelson?

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 add other materials to my Nelson delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from adhesives and sealants to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

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.
