▪️100gsm membrane – This is the best option for sheds, outbuildings and low-risk applications
▪️120gsm membrane – Ideal for most standard domestic roofing projects
▪️140gsm membrane – Heavy-duty option for exposed areas and high wind zones

💡Product Spotlight - Glazing Packers💡

Glazing packers are a vital part of installing window units correctly. By levelling units to the right height, they help ensure smooth operation and safe, even load distribution throughout the entire lifespan of the window.

The design, hardness, and compatibility of plastic packers all play a key role in performance. That’s why all our packers are moulded to precise tolerances using only prime-grade plastic materials. These handy window packers guarantee glass alignment, and squareness, as well as maintaining the correct weight distribution.

Using the right glazing packers and installing them properly can help prevent costly callbacks and repairs. After all, the packer is the only support between the frame and the edge of the glass, making it essential for ensuring the unit sits correctly in the frame for the life of the window.

Get it right the first time with quality glazing packers. Shop online today via our website - https://www.fixdirect.co.uk/

With construction material costs on the rise, both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts are feeling the squeeze. Finding ways to manage budgets while avoiding cutting corners has never been more important. One area that’s often overlooked is fixings and fasteners. These small components play a huge role in the strength, safety and longevity of any project.

A smart cost-saving tip is to consider clearance sale fixings. While some buyers may hesitate at the idea, these products can deliver excellent value when you know exactly what you’re buying. It’s a simple way to stretch your budget further without compromising on performance.

💡Product Spotlight - POLYTOPS®💡

When installing external uPVC products like fascias, soffits, cladding or roofline trims, it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Even though fixings are usually hidden once the job’s complete, choosing the wrong ones can lead to major issues down the line. Rust stains on pristine boards, loose trims, costly call backs, and unnecessary repairs are all too common.

That’s why professionals and DIYers across the UK trust POLYTOPS®. The original colour-coded, corrosion-resistant fixings designed specifically for exposed exterior use.

Don’t let poor fixings ruin a great job. Shop online today via our website - https://www.fixdirect.co.uk/
