Already offering a range of hybrid sealants and adhesives under its recognised ‘Pro’ brand, the uptake of these safer alternatives to silicone by the market, have lead to the Bond It range being extended.

INCREDIBLE GRABBING STRENGTH
Choosing the right adhesive or sealant is a vital part of any home improvement job. It must be high quality, versatile, durable, easy to use and cost-effective too. Whether you’re a trained professional or a DIY enthusiast, you need to consider several factors, ranging from the ingredients the adhesive or sealant is made from to what it’s going to come up against. For example, does it need to be highly water- resistant? Will it be exposed to much sunlight or humidity? That’s why U-PRO, a growing online retailer of DIY supplies, offers a wide range of sealants and adhesives for all types of usage. U-PRO’s most popular sealants include the Soudal Exterior Frame
Sealant, which provides a fast and neutral cure on a broad range of materials including wood, metal and glass, and the Dowsil range that’s best for bathrooms due to its high resistance to mildew and mould growth.
The Everbuild Pinkgrip is U-PRO’s best-selling adhesive as its incredible grabbing strength and excellent gap-filling properties means that it’s suitable for use on both non- porous and porous surfaces, inside and outside of any property. What’s more, its revolutionary initial ‘direct bond’ eliminates the need for double stick methods. n Find out more at: www.u-pro.
