Gate latches and hinges make up just one percent of the total cost of a fence but impact whether the other 99% of the investment functions effectively. As the only moving part of the fence system, gates depend on high quality latches and hinges to function properly in all conditions and climates. D&D TECHNOLOGIES, the Australian manufacturer of the world’s most trusted gate hardware has improved its popular LokkLatch DELUXE model.
Shurtape has launched FROGTAPE High Bond Exterior Painter’s Tape to the UK market, to provide an exterior masking tape that can work with more modern, technically advanced, self-cleaning paint. Created for use on a range of painted surfaces such as wood, metal, vinyl, aluminium, brick, stucco and concrete, the new product is a revolutionary painter’s tape engineered to consistently adhere to self-cleaning paint technology, which sheds dirt upon contact with water, thereby making adhesion difficult for masking tapes. With very high adhesion and a
crepe paper backing, the tape is ideal for smooth and rough surfaces and can hold poly paper in place for spray painting. It is easy to mask around exterior surfaces such as doorways and windows and can be removed cleanly without shredding or residue, even after three days. Jason Burns, MD of Shurtape, comments: “We have some market-leading products in our portfolio, but as surfaces and paint products improve, our products need to evolve and adapt to work alongside them. Self-cleaning paint is increasingly popular for obvious reasons, so we are delighted to be introducing to our range a painter’s tape that has been specifically formulated to work alongside it, in time for the spring surge in outdoor home improvements.” FrogTape High Bond Exterior Painter’s Tape is available for stockists now.

With easy installation, only one hole is required to be drilled regardless of whether the gate post is made from wood, aluminium, steel, iron or vinyl/ PVC.

It can be fitted to all square-posted gates (up to 150mm deep) and is adaptable to left- or right- swinging gates. D&D’s Lifetime Warranty is your added peace-of-mind guarantee. 01342 327280
