Hardware specialist VBH
is now stocking Glazpart
‘Packers for Professionals’
range of plastic accessories.
The range, known informally as P4P
includes all the items regularly used
by installers and manufacturers of
windows and doors as well as those
who maintain and repair them.
P4P products include flat and wedge glazing packers, frame packers, glazing shovels,
drain hole covers and screw washer cover
caps.
VBH has always supplied plastic glazing
component in bulk packaging of 1000 units
or more. However, after gaining feedback
from customers it was evident that they
required the option and flexibility of storing
various sized packers and wedges, rather
than in bulk.
Glazpart has addressed this issue by
breaking down the products into handy
bags containing more manageable quantities. The P4P packers, for example, can
be ordered in bags of 100 of either all the
same thickness or in bags of mixed thicknesses.
Gary Gleeson of VBH commented: “It’s not
always practical for customers, particularly
the guys in vans to stock bulky boxes of
packers and covers. P4P is the perfect solution to this problem as customers can have
a comprehensive selection of all the items
they need, whilst taking up minimal space.
primer and its unique formulation means it’s highly
flexible and won’t crack or
shrink.
Geocel Trade Mate Glazing
Seal is another popular
solution offering perfect
adhesion to internal and
external glass and polycarbonate sheeting.
As well as being water-resistant, it promises the same
durability and flexibility as
the rest of the Trade Mate
range, including Trade Mate
Roofers Seal.
‘it’s perfect for
achieving a
perfect seal’
Strong enough to use on
wet surfaces, it’s perfect
for achieving a perfect seal
around drainpipes, gutters, flashing and roofing,
allowing work to continue
whatever the conditions.
Stuart Oakey, Geocel’s
technical manager, said,
“We’re very proud of our
strong heritage and customers know they can rely
on us and our full range of
products for help when they
need it most.
“Whether it’s tackling an
emergency, carrying out
maintenance or doing some
DIY, the Trade Mate range is
a toolbox essential that has
been updated and perfected
over the past 30 years.”

Making its toolbox debut, the C.K Blue Steel
Impact Bits have been
manufactured from
exceptionally tough,
specially formulated
V8 alloy steel, providing a vastly extended
working life compared
to standard screwdriver
bits.
With impact drills combining much higher rotational
torque than traditional drills,
the C.K Blue Steel Impact
Bits feature torsion control
technology to withstand the
stresses of high torque applications, resulting in less
bit breakage.
Understanding that durability, accuracy and strength
are key requirements for
professional results, the C.K
Blue Steel Impact Bits have
been designed to dramatically increase speed and
productivity on the job and
provide unparalleled performance.

Blue Steel Impact Bits we
hope to highlight our continuous commitment and
