When you think of Heating Engineer Supplies, heating engineers, plumbers and HVAC professionals probably come to mind first.
But recently, we’ve noticed something interesting: more and more construction businesses are turning to HES for CT1 products.
And it’s easy to see why.
CT1 is much more than a traditional sealant. The range combines high-strength bonding, sealing, waterproofing and specialist solutions that can be used across a wide variety of construction applications.
For builders and construction teams, having a reliable product that can handle multiple jobs on-site can make a big difference.
What Makes CT1 Different?
CT1 products are developed using TRIBRID® Technology, designed to provide strong adhesion, flexibility and long-lasting performance.
The flagship CT1 sealant and adhesive can bond to a wide range of common construction materials, including:
-
Concrete
-
Brick
-
Metal
-
Wood
-
MDF
-
Glass
-
Mirrors
-
Tiles
-
Stone
-
Fibreglass
-
Many plastics
That versatility is one of the reasons CT1 has become such a useful addition to the toolbox.
Instead of needing a different product for every material or application, CT1 can provide a reliable solution for a wide range of bonding and sealing requirements.
CT1 for Construction Applications
Construction projects involve countless jobs where a strong adhesive or sealant is required.
From fixing and bonding materials to sealing joints and protecting against water ingress, choosing the right product can help achieve a professional, durable finish.
1. Bonding Building Materials
CT1 can be used to bond a wide range of materials, making it suitable for many construction and installation applications.
Whether you're working with timber, concrete, metal, tiles, glass or stone, having a versatile construction adhesive available can save valuable time on-site.
CT1 is designed to provide high-strength adhesion without always requiring additional mechanical fixings, depending on the application and materials involved.
2. Sealing Against Water and Moisture
Water ingress can cause serious problems in construction projects, particularly around bathrooms, kitchens, wet areas, windows, roofing and external installations.
CT1 provides a watertight seal and can be used for a range of internal and external applications.
Its flexibility also makes it suitable for areas where materials may experience movement or changes in temperature.
3. Bathrooms and Wet Rooms
Construction and renovation businesses working on bathrooms and wet rooms need products that can cope with constant exposure to moisture.
This is where the CT1 range goes beyond a standard construction adhesive.
BT1 TRIBRID® Multi Purpose Sealant & Adhesive is specifically designed for sanitary applications, providing a waterproof seal alongside resistance to mould and bacteria.
For businesses regularly installing bathrooms, wet rooms and other hygienic environments, BT1 can be a valuable product to have on hand.
4. Waterproofing
For larger waterproofing applications, BW1 Ultimate One Part Tanking Solution provides a one-part tanking system designed for use in bathrooms, showers and wet rooms.
Unlike traditional multi-stage tanking systems, BW1 is supplied ready to use, helping simplify the installation process.
For construction businesses, solutions that can reduce complexity and save time can be particularly valuable on busy projects.
5. Surface Preparation
Good adhesion starts with good preparation.
Multisolve Safe and Fast Multipurpose Solvent Degreaser can be used to remove grease, dirt, adhesive residue and other contaminants from surfaces before applying sealants and adhesives.
Preparing the surface properly helps ensure that the adhesive or sealant can perform as intended.
6. Repairs and Maintenance
Construction businesses aren't only involved in new builds.
Repairs, maintenance and remedial work can often require quick, reliable solutions — particularly when dealing with leaks or damaged components.
C-Tec Miracle Seal provides another specialist option within the CT1 range for sealing leaks in a variety of applications.
Why Are Construction Businesses Turning to CT1?
One of the biggest advantages of CT1 is versatility.
Construction teams work with multiple materials and face different challenges from project to project. Having a dependable adhesive and sealant that can be used across a broad range of applications can help reduce the number of specialist products needed on-site.
CT1 products are also designed with durability in mind. The CT1 range includes products that offer waterproofing, UV resistance, flexibility and strong adhesion, depending on the specific product and application.
For contractors, builders and construction businesses, that means having products they can rely on when the job demands it.
