Consumables

What Are Consumables and Why Are They Important?
Consumables refer to products that are used up or gradually wear down during a project (such as adhesives, sealants, bonding agents and putties etc.). They’re essential for completing tasks efficiently and maintaining safety standards. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a professional tradesperson, having the right consumables on hand ensures that your work is of the highest quality and remains structurally sound.

How Do I Choose the Right Adhesive or Sealant?
First, identify the materials you’re bonding (wood, metal, glass, etc.) and the conditions they’ll face (moisture, high temperatures, movement). Look for specialty adhesives or sealants labelled for those specific conditions.

What Safety Measures Should I Take When Using Consumables?
Always read product labels and safety data sheets. Many consumables can contain chemicals or produce fumes when used. Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, and a mask if the product can be inhaled or cause irritation. Work in a well-ventilated area to minimise inhalation risks, and store products out of reach of children and pets.

How Do I Store Unused Consumables?
Most consumables should be kept in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Certain items, such as chemical-based products, might require specific temperature ranges. Check the product packaging for any special storage instructions. Proper storage can extend the shelf life of your consumables significantly.

Are Bulk Purchases More Cost-Effective?
Generally, yes. Buying in larger quantities often reduces the per-unit cost, especially for frequently used items like tape rolls or sanding discs. We offer various pack sizes and bulk purchase options, so you can save money if you regularly use a particular consumable.

What Brands Do You Offer for Consumables?
We source our consumables from reputable, industry-recognised brands such as Everbuild, Bondloc and Sika.
