Introducing new CornerTape SiliconePro now available at Plumb Center

(24/01/2012)

CornerTape expanded its product range in Plumb Center branches introducing SiliconePro, brand new kitchen and bathroom silicone.

CornerTape SiliconePro, with the world’s first Anti-Drip Valve and Pre-Cut Nozzle System, is now available to customers of over 490 branches of the UK’s leading supplier of heating and plumbing products – from Inverness to Penzance to Londonderry.

Plumb Center first stocked the CornerTape ‘professional’ range of products, including its heavy duty Silicone & Grout Remover Tool, packs of Preparation Wipes, Silicone Forming Kit and 15m rolls of CornerTape, just over a year ago and CornerTape is thrilled that Plumb Center has extended its product offering with SiliconePro just three months after its launch.

Andy Toyne, sales director for CornerTape in the UK, said: “We’re extremely excited about SiliconePro being introduced into Plumb Center branches, as Plumb Center is the biggest name in the plumbing and heating trade. The branches have had the silicone for a very short time and are already re-stocking the shelves as its going down very well with the trade. Of course, SiliconePro has great shelf appeal with the valve and nozzle but the quality of the contents are equally important - we have got that just right and the trade love it. All these things add together, making SiliconePro an excellent value product - for making silicone jobs easier and quicker, and the pricing is very competitive too.

Sean Parkin, manager of the Plumb Center branch in Bicester, Oxfordshire, said: “CornerTape SiliconePro is selling extremely well. A lot of our customers are now converted - since we started stocking it, most have opted to buy SiliconePro instead of their usual brand and they are coming back in and re-buying it. The sealant is of excellent quality and they love the Anti-Drip Valve, which cuts off the flow of sealant, preventing the usually messy overspill.”

With its Anti-Mould properties as well as resistance to water, moisture, colour fade and UV, SiliconePro is ideal for the trade as it has a wide range indoor and outdoor uses and is available in a choice of four colours. Its high elasticity rate and tensile strength make it suitable where movement in the joint is expected and it will perform in extreme temperatures, from -50°C to 120°C.

The Anti Drip Valve and Pre-Cut Nozzle System has been designed & patented by CornerTape for easy use, to prevent waste and save mess. The Anti-Drip Valve is positioned on the front of the tube – one simple quarter turn of the valve cuts the flow of sealant; and the Pre-Cut Nozzle System comes in four sections to give bead sizes of 2.5mm through to 8mm, each of which unscrews and is pre-cut at an angle of 45° for greater control.

CornerTape SiliconePro will feature in Plumb Center’s next Trade Price Guide, available from 1st November 2011
