Adhesives & Sealers FAQs

Can you recommend a versatile sealant for both interior and exterior use?

Our polyurethane sealants are excellent for both indoor and outdoor applications. They offer strong adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to weathering, making them suitable for a wide range of sealing jobs across different environments.

What factors should I consider when selecting a plasterboard adhesive?

Consider the substrate you're bonding to (masonry, timber or metal studs), the weight of the plasterboard, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Also, factor in setting time and whether you need a product with gap-filling properties.

Our ‘Choosing Plasterboard Adhesives and Sealants for Effective Bonding’ will steer you in the right direction.

How do I determine the correct amount of adhesive or Sealant needed?

Calculate the total surface area for adhesives or the total joint volume for sealants. For adhesives, multiply the area by the product's coverage rate. For sealants, multiply joint length by width and depth, then convert to volume.

Add 10-15% extra for waste or variations in joint size.

What is the shelf life of your adhesives and sealers?

Shelf life varies by product, typically ranging from 12 to 24 months when stored properly. We recommend storing products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
