Whilst police statistics show signs of housebreaking decreasing since 1999, people’s perception of their likelihood of falling victim to this type of crime continues to increase. This standard applies only to domestic buildings. Just as easy to use as ordinary plastic cartridges our most popular glazing sealants are now available in sausage packs.Every building must be designed and constructed in such a way that doors and windows, vulnerable to unlawful entry, can be secured to deter housebreaking and protect the safety and welfare of occupants.
An empty Hodgson sausage pack is more than eight times less volume than a spent cartridge and up to 60% lighter, offering significant savings on skip hire charges, landfill charges, and disposal costs and helping to meet the criteria of the new Packaging Levy. Our foil packed products on show at the NEC, have a number of environmental and financial benefits over traditional plastic cartridges. These new colours will match window and façade styles popular today, especially in rural areas and on older properties where the more usual brilliant white window profiles are deemed too harsh, especially against sensitive substrates. Silfix® LMN is perfect for perimeter sealing around window and door frames and has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of building substrates. Silfix® U8 is a low modulus, neutral cure, solvent free, alkoxy silicone sealant that is approved for a variety of façade and glazing applications and works well even in cold conditions. Silfix® LMN will now be available in Teak/Rosewood and Toffee/Caramel while Silfix® U8 will now be produced in Portland Stone, Mid Grey and Magnolia. In response to a growing market trend for wood and neutral coloured PVC-U window profiles, we have launched new colour options to our market-leading Silfix® LMN and U8 ranges.
It over paints beautifully with water-based paints and wood stain and, as with all Hodgson glazing sealants, HY-SPEC® 25 meets the requirements of BS 8213-4 for the installation of windows and doors. It works particularly well where high movement occurs, especially between dissimilar materials such as in the perimeter sealing of uPVC frames, inside or out without cracking or shrinking. HY-SPEC® 25, is a highly elastic sealant that is perfect for connection joints, expansion joints, glazing applications, composite panels and facades. The company will also be showcasing its aluminium foil-packed sealants to help installers and fabricators hit their sustainability targets. As well as exciting new colours for its Silfix® U8 and the ever-popular Silfix® LMN, we will also be spotlighting our new HY-SPEC® 25 Hybrid sealant. Visitors to the Hodgson Sealants stand (S59) at this year’s FIT Show will be able to see some of the company’s market-leading range of sealants specially formulated and manufactured for the glazing industry for both fabricators and installers.
