EXPOL Perimeter Edge Flashings

The ‘Z’ flashing has been specifically designed to ensure water tightness. Flashings should be used in circumstances that would normally require the cladding material to overhang the foundation edge.

Sabre Fix Construction Adhesive

Sabre Fix is an advanced single component polyurethane-based construction adhesive. This powerful adhesive is developed especially for the construction industry and will bond most types of construction materials including timber (damp and dry), concrete, plasterboard, polystyrene and many other porous and non-porous substrates.
