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.

Getting adhesives and sealants onto your Retford site

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• In summer Retford gets around 17h 00m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Sizing your order

Sealing round 4 windows of about 1.2 × 1.2 m is roughly 19.2 m of joint. A 310 ml cartridge runs about 3 m of a 10 × 10 mm bead, so allow 7 cartridges of frame sealant.

Common questions from Retford

Can I paint over silicone?

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

Can I add other materials to my Retford 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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Retford?

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.

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.
