DIY WEEK AWARDS 2026 WINNERS 2018 AWARDS 2026 DIY WEEK THE WINNERS Decorating Product of the Year
Avron – Dekton Caulking Gun with Cage The Dekton Caulking Gun with Cage introduces enhanced usability and durability to a standard decorating tool. A primary functional update is the 360° rotating handle, which allows for straightforward tip angle adjustments. This ensures continuous, smooth application when navigating corners or restricted spaces without the user having to adjust their grip. Furthermore, the product incorporates a thickened pusher plate design, which is engineered to provide a significantly stronger push force. Paired with a stainless-steel centre push rod and a robust metal press plate, this updated mechanism delivers consistent pressure to the cartridge. The design also introduces highly practical additions for the end-user, such as a built-in hanging hole and a round rod with a hooked end specifically designed to act as a ladder hook. This
caulking gun distinguishes itself
from standard market
alternatives through its heavy-duty construction and targeted ergonomic improvements. While conventional models often struggle with consistent dispensing pressure, the Dekton model utilises a thickened pusher plate alongside a metal press plate to guarantee a stronger push force. This mechanical advantage ensures a consistently smooth application of both sealants and adhesives, reducing user fatigue. Additionally, the 360° rotatable function provides superior handling; users can adjust their approach angle seamlessly without awkwardly repositioning the entire unit. Comfort is further maximised by an ergonomic handle equipped with an easily accessible plunger and release lever. Despite these
upgraded features, it remains universally practical, as it is fully suitable for use with most standard cartridges across a wide range of applications. The judging panel said: “This is a really good product with some
interesting features, such as the new 360° rotating handle, which allows for straightforward tip angle adjustments that both DIYers and trade professionals will find very useful.”
