Everbuild

What is Everbuild?

Ask most in the trade how long Everbuild has been around, and they’ll most likely say it’s been on shelves forever. It can be hard to believe that it was only in 1994 that the company, now arguably the go-to in putty and adhesives, started out in Leeds.

From humble beginnings, they have become a recognisable name and one of the top brands in adhesives, alongside the likes of Polycell, Bartoline and Solvite.

Why Everbuild?

Due to the nature of their products, which by all accounts will rarely cause you any trouble, you’re in good hands with Everbuild product.

With some of the breakthroughs they’ve been able to make over the years, including the likes of the Everbuild Stixall; a prime example of a product done right, Everbuild is seen as a reliable brand to have at hand.

Picking your putty finish

Always make sure our putty is going to match with the colour of the surface you’re applying it on. We stock Everbuild putty in the following colours:

• Natural (most common)
• Brown
• Dark

And remember that anytime you’re working with putty, the surface needs to be as clean as possible, so get the necessary cleaning and prep products before you open any Everbuild products.

When NOT to use these products

Some customers may be purchasing adhesives and putty for the first time. To that end, it is important to know what limitations some of these products have. For example, the Multi-Purpose Linseed Oil Putty shouldn’t be used on plastic frames or the likes of double glazing.

Getting the Area Prepped

Working with adhesives and silicone, you must have all your equipment at hand and that your area is as clean as possible. You don’t want to be using putty only to find that someone hasn’t applied undercoat correctly or the area isn’t dirt free. Avoid those headaches by getting your area prepped with our range of cleaning and prep tools.

We also recommend Everbuild 404 Fungicidal Wash before getting to work, so you know the area is mould and fungal-free.
