Press-fit technology

Press-fit technology on modern sprinkler systems can save lives by facilitating quicker, easier and less disruptive installations in existing buildings, says Geberit, despite Dame Judith Hackitt’s omission of mandatory sprinkler installations in her review of Building Regulations and fire safety laws.

Too much, too little or even inconsistent pressure on the trigger of an applicator gun can leave you with a bead or surface that is non-uniform, non-linear and frequently somewhat ugly.

But all that could be about to change.

Bond It, one of the UK's fastest growing manufacturers of sealants, adhesives and building chemicals, has launched a new sealant applicator tool kit which makes it easier than ever for even the novice sealant user to achieve flawless results, every time
