What you can ask for

Three things, all from David.

  • Samples

    Physical lengths of seal for the design team or a mock-up, in the colour you need where we can.

    Request samples
  • Technical information

    David talks you through the profile, the joint and the panel system, for your project.

    Ask for technical information
  • A call on the joint detail

    Bring the detail as drawn. The earlier in design, the more choice of profile.
