CornerTape is delighted to announce two new products now available and shipping to DIY and hardware stores, builders’ merchants and trade outlets throughout the UK.

The CornerTape SiliconeKit bundles together a number of the award-winning brand’s products into one neat package for bathrooms and kitchens. A complete toolbox for the easy removal and replacement of old silicone with a perfect finish, the CornerTape SiliconeKit includes the patented Silicone Remover Tool as well as its big brother, the Silicone & Grout Remover Tool along with a Residue Remover Brush, specialist Preparation Wipes, a 5m roll of CornerTape, a Silicone Forming Kit and instruction DVD, and is suitable for both kitchen and bathroom projects.

And CornerTape SiliconePro - a brand new sealant, easily identified with its distinctive black tube and multi-coloured nozzle. CornerTape SiliconePro is a durable silicone sealant available in a choice of four colours – white, translucent, cream and grey – and introduces the World’s first Anti Drip Valve and Pre-Cut Nozzle System.

Inside the tube, CornerTape SiliconePro is ready to use and versatile, suitable for a wide range of trade and DIY applications. With its excellent Anti-Mould properties, SiliconePro is resistant to mildew, water and moisture as well as colour fade and is UV and weather resistant, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects such as sealing building joints, sanitary joints in bathrooms and kitchens, windows and door frames and for use on caravans.  With its high tensile strength and elasticity rate, SiliconePro is ideal for applications where movement in the joint is expected; it can be applied in heat of up to 40°C and will continue to perform in extreme temperatures, from -50°C to 120°C. 

On the outside of the tube is the brand’s patented and unique Anti Drip Valve and Pre Cut Nozzle System. Designed by CornerTape for easy use, to prevent waste and save even more mess, the Anti Drip Valve is conveniently positioned on the front of the tube – one simple quarter turn of the valve cuts the flow of sealant, preventing the traditionally inevitable overspill.

The Pre Cut Nozzle System comes in four sections, each of which unscrews, and a lid. Each nozzle is cut at an angle of 45° for a better finish and corresponds to the various sizes of CornerTape for beads of sealant 2.5mm, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm in size. The Pre Cut Nozzle System can be used over and over again, the cured sealant easily cleared by simply unscrewing the nozzles – no more prodding and poking at hard sealant and no need to purchase new nozzles.

Both the SiliconeKit and SiliconePro are attractive with shelf appeal and provide added value for consumers with a decent profit margin for retailers.

Winner of the Tools category in the Homebuilding & Renovating Product Excellence Awards 2011, the CornerTape sealant-taming product system is the original and the best. Popular with trades’ people and DIY’ers, CornerTape is easy to use, requires no skill or experience with a sealant gun and is the only product range to guarantee that all-important perfect finish - every time. Sealant joints made using the system are not only perfect - with no edges, no bumps and no ridges - they are more hygienic and will last twice as long.
