Multipurpose Putty
We stock a multipurpose putty manufactured by Hodgson
Sealants. This is a high quality hand applied gazing compound. It
is a Type O setting compound as defined in BS 6262: 1982 - Table 5 and
conforms to BS 8000 Part 7.
Its uses include: Bedding and external fronting single glass into primed
softwood and hardwood frames which will subsequently be painted, bedding
and external fronting single glass into primed steel frames, external
putty fronting and to glaze single glass into concrete or stone surrounds
after prior sealing with an appropriate sealer. Note: Not suitable for
internal fronting or when frame is to be stained and not to be used on
double glazed units.
Multipurpose putty adheres well to primed softwood and hardwood. It sets
initially by absorption of oil into the frame and loss of volatiles followed
by reaction with oxygen in the presence of moisture. It must be painted
as soon as the putty has formed a skin firm enough to accept the actions
of overcoating. Apply the first coat within 7-21 days. The final coat
should be applied within 28 days. It is designed to resist mould and have
a predicted service life of ten years. Please note this product can cause
staining of porous surfaces if not previously sealed.
We store our putties in cool dry conditions which provide a shelf life
of approx. 3 months. It is common for some separation of oil to occur
which should be mixed back into the putty before use. A skin forms after
approximately 2-4 days outdoors, depending on ambient temperature and
humidity. The putty has a working time of approximately 4 hours.
Application Instructions:
Remove all dust, grease and loose material from the rebate. Any moisture
on the timber should be wiped off using a clean paper towel or other absorbent
material to give a dry surface. Check the condition of the primer or stain
on the frame, especially the rebate. Any section which has been partially
missed or is considerably weathered should be reprimed before glazing.
One coat of primer to BS5358: 1986 applied to new softwood will allow
sufficient oil to be absorbed into the frame. Location blocks should be
used in side hung opening windows to hold the glass in place. When using
as a back bedding, apply to rebate. Push in glass and leave a thickness
of 1.5mm - 2mm so as to achieve sufficient load bearing properties. Maximum
fillet size to allow correct setting is 15mm high x 25mm wide. Do not
reduce the fillet size below 8mm high x 25mm wide.
We offer a selection of useful tools and accessories including Glazing
Blocks, Tooling Block, Flexistrip trimming knife, Curved trimming blades,
Glass cleaner, Glazing shovel, High powered & standard skeleton guns.
We stock the following size tubs :25kg / 10kg / 5kg / 2kg / 1kg /0.5kg
and two colors:- Brown & Natural. Depending on the thickness of the
glass and depth of the rebate. 1 kg will glaze approximately 4 linear
meters of single glass.
This product has no known hazards when used as recommended. Wash hands
after use.

of porous surfaces if not previously sealed by two coats of Timber Sealer.
Skin forms after approximately 4 - 7 days dependent on thickness, ambient
temperature and humidity and it has a working time of approximately 1
hour.
Application Instructions:
Remove all dust, grease and loose material from the rebate. Any moisture
on the timber should be wiped off using a clean paper towel or other absorbent
material to give a dry surface. Check the condition of any primer or stain
on the frame, especially the rebate and glazing surfaces of the beads.
Any section which has been partially missed or is considerably weathered
should be reprimed or stained before glazing. The use of Timber Sealer
is essential to assist proper performance of Butyl 66. Timber Sealer must
be applied to all rebate surfaces and beads which will come into contact
with Butyl 66. Coat these surfaces and allow to dry before glazing. Click

Silicone
We offer two types of silicone, construction grade and 25L a low modulus
silicone. Our construction grade silicone is an acetoxy cure sealant that
provides a permanently flexible weathertight rubber seal that adheres
to many common building substrates. It cures quickly to reduce dirt pick
up.
Our Low Modulus Neutral Curing Silicone, 25L, also adheres to both porous
and non-porous substrates without the need for priming. It is non corrosive
on metals and aluminium and is compatible with polycarbonate
Both conform to BS 5889.
Acceptable adhesion must be tested on specific applications but typical
uses include: Glass to Glass and Glass to Aluminium weathersealing, Sealing
and as an adhesive onto UPVC, Sanitary, bathroom and refrigeration areas,
perimeter pointing around all types of window and door frames and parapet
and roofline weather sealing applications.
Our silicones should not be used in conjunction with Bitumen, Asphalt
or Lead. They have a shelf life of 12 months (25L) and 18 months (construction).
Silicone is a potential irritant to eyes and skin, contact must be avoided
if possible. Silicone can generate an allergic reaction in some people
and Acetic Acid is evolved from construction silicone during curing so
silicone should only be used in well ventilated environments.
Our Silicone is sold in 310ml tubes, which should cover approx. 10 lin.
meters for a 9mm x 9mm fillet joint. We carry 25L in white, although many
other colours are available to order. Our stock of Construction silicone
includes white, clear, black, brown, bronze, grey and silver.

Mirror Fixings
We offer clients a comprehensive range of fixing methods for mirrors,
the most common three are Gluing, screw fix and clips:
Glue Fix
We stock a one part, fast curing, adhesive which is designed to fix mirrors.
The glue does not attack the backing of our mirrors and will adhere to
a multitude of surfaces including metals, ,plastics, polyester, epoxy,
painted and lacquered wood, glass etc.
Our installers prefer this fixing method as it offers the most secure
fix, whilst presenting no unsightly lines to interrupt the reflection
from the mirror. Should a glue fixed mirror get damaged and crack, this
fixing method helps prevent cut hazards by leaving the potentially sharp
pieces on the bonding surface. Further more, by applying our mirror fixing
glue neatly to the extreme back edges of a mirror, the installer can seal
the painted reverse face, thus preventing further ingress of moisture
which would eventually cause the mirror to show black and fail.
Our mirror adhesive is a white finish, and we stock 290ml tubes. One
tube would be sufficient to fix approx. 3 No. 1000 x 1000mm mirrors. The
glue is of a low hazardous nature and should not be taken internally and
kept away from children
Screw Fix
A more traditional fixing method, still employed today, involves drilling
holes in mirrors and screwing through these holes to achieve a secure
fix. The screw heads are decorated with caps.
We tend to advise clients to avoid this fixing method if possible. Whilst
it is a tried and tested fixing method, we feel it has some disadvantages.
Putting holes into glass of any type can make it weaker at that point.
Placing a steel screw, harder than glass, through this potentially weak
spot is then not ideal. Add to the equation a particularly uneven fixing
surface and it is very easy for a break to occur following over tightening
of the screw or contact with the mirror. Screw fixing does not have an
inherent means of preventing broken shards of glass from creating a hazard.
We regularly drill mirrors for clients, and carry a large range of screws,
caps and washers.
Clip Fix
We carry a selection of clips to fix mirrors.
Corner clips are available in Brass and Silver finishes. They are pinned
onto a backing and clamp fix the mirror to that backing. We carry such
corner clips to secure both 4 and 6mm mirrors.
Slide clips packs are also available from stock. These are in packs of
four or six pieces each with two fixed bottom clips onto which a mirror
rests and two or four sliding clips that secure the mirror back. The clips
are screw fixed back with washers incorporated to protect the mirror back.
We stock chromed metal clips and lighter weight but less obtrusive, clear
plastic slide clips.
Clips are another traditional fixing method. Clients are advised that
they must take care when combining glass and harder substances i.e. metals.
Should a mirror become damaged, clips alone are not guaranteed to keep
all broken fragments safely controlled.

Cleaning Fluids
Our fixing teams recommend cleaning fluids that they regularly
use.
We stock a glass cleaner that is easy to use and removes most stains
from all glass surfaces and does not leave smears. It is a 'spray on/wife
off' cleaner in 660ml canisters.
We offer a UPVC clean cleaner. It is ideal for buffing up PVC and can
also be used on vinyl, vitreous enamel, stainless steel, laminates and
painted surfaces. The cream is applied with a damp cloth and worked in
to remove a stain, rinsed with clean water, allowed to dry and then polished
off to finish.

Glass Mounted Ventilators
We stock a wide range of quality glass mounted ventilators.
They are commonly manufactured from UV stabilised translucent polystyrene,
which resists discoloration. They are ultrasonically welded and assembled
in clean room conditions.
There are two distinct types of ventilator on offer, Static and Rotary.
The Static ventilators are designed for use where continuous ventilation
is mandatory. We offer a choice of round or square louvered models which
are both ideal for rooms fitted with a gas or solid fuel appliance. They
offer a continual supply of fresh air, which reduces the build up of harmful
gases and aids fuel efficiency.
Rotary ventilators offer a diffusion of air into a room, which helps
to reduce draughts whilst improving fresh air distribution into a room.
We offer three basic sizes each with or without shutter control. There
is even a double glazed option.
Glass mounted ventilators offer a potential cure for condensation problems,
as well as offering a simple means of ventilation where no opening window
is present. They can easily be fixed to existing panes of glass and do
not compromise security.

Films
Film technology is one of the most innovative aspects of
the glass market today. We offer supply only services to clients and can
arrange for application of most films in-house or on-site.
In stock, we carry a safety backing film which has
been tested and achieved a pass of class B & C to BS 6206. We use
this to back mirrors in 'critical
locations'. We only offer a supply and fix service for this film due
to the nature of its packaging.
There are many types of Solar Films available. These
commonly have a reflective quality to them and are available in many colours
and tints. Solar control films tend to have a clear film backing which
when removed exposes the bonding surface which needs moisture to be activated.
We stock a common silver tinted solar film, others are available within
a couple of working days. Solar control films are used to reduce glare,
as a UV filter, to reflect heat and for decoration / privacy.
We carry a comprehensive range of decorative films.
Available in 15mt roles, or by the linear meter, we have ten standard
decorative films. They have a paper type backing which, once removed,
exposes the bonding face. Simple to apply they offer a cost effective
means of decorating / obscuring a pane of glass - especially useful on
existing panes when they eliminate the need to reglaze.
We also offer safety / security films. These are
normally clear films, available in differing thickness to offer different
security levels. Once applied they can bring the safety standard of a
pane up to BS 6202 without the need for reglazing.
