CornerTape launches SiliconePro to tile market with Tile Depot

CornerTape, the award-winning sealant-taming brand, is delighted to launch its brand new sealant to the tile market with Tile Depot.

The UK’s largest independent tile, stone and wood retailer is the first specialist tile merchant to stock CornerTape SiliconePro, the brand new kitchen and bathroom sealant with the World’s first Anti Drip Valve and Pre Cut Nozzle System.

A perfect complement to its massive selection of tiles and tiling products, CornerTape SiliconePro is now available from all 18 Tile Depot stores across London and the South East. The decision to stock the sealant in all branches came just one week after the start of a three store trial - such was the response from Tile Depot’s staff as well as trade and DIY customers that it was an easy decision to make, even after the short period of time.

Easily identified with its distinctive black tube and multi-coloured nozzle, CornerTape SiliconePro is a durable and versatile silicone sealant available in a choice of four colours – white, translucent, cream and grey, all available from Tile Depot – and introduces the World’s first Anti Drip Valve and Pre-Cut Nozzle System, designed by CornerTape for easy use, to prevent waste and save 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 and a lid, each of which unscrews. Each nozzle is cut at an angle of 45° for greater control and a better finish and, although professionals are capable of achieving a neat bead of sealant without any help, the various nozzle colours and sizes all correspond to the available widths of CornerTape to further reduce the ‘normal’ amount of silicone wasted when compared to using other traditional methods. The Pre Cut Nozzle System can be used over and over again, the cured sealant cleared easily by unscrewing the nozzles and just pulling apart – no more prodding and poking at hard sealant and no need to purchase new nozzles.

Inside the tube, CornerTape SiliconePro is ready to use and suitable for a wide range of applications. SiliconePro is Anti-Mould; resistant to mildew, water, moisture, colour fade, UV and the weather, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects such as sealing building, sanitary and glazing joints and for use on caravans. With its high elasticity rate, SiliconePro is ideal for applications where movement in the joint is expected and will perform in extreme temperatures, from -50°C to 120°C.

SiliconePro joins other products from the CornerTape range at Tile Depot stores in Aylesbury, Basingstoke, Bedford, Crawley, Cricklewood, Edgware, Enfield, Greenford, Hanwell, High Wycombe, Milton Keynes, Newbury, Slough, Tonbridge, Uxbridge, Watford, Wembley and Whetstone.

Andy Toyne, CornerTape Sales Director, said: “We are absolutely thrilled with the response to SiliconePro from Tile Depot and its customers; the feedback we’re receiving from the store managers is fantastic. A week has got to go down as one of the shortest retail trial periods in history – it’s a real testament to the product.”

Danny Steptoe, Tile Depot’s Managing Director, said: “CornerTape SiliconePro is a fantastic product – the sealant itself is of very high quality and the unique Anti-Drip Valve and Nozzle System make it visually attention-grabbing as well as easier, less messy and more economical to use. We’re delighted to be the first to launch SiliconePro to the specialist tile market and its proving extremely popular with both our trade and DIY customers.”
