Solseal

Solseal, a UK distributor of sealants, adhesives and mortars

Solseal presents itself as the UK's largest distributor of sealants, adhesives and mortars, an operation built around an online catalogue that spans construction chemicals, tiling materials, roofing systems and highway maintenance products. The company stocks brands including Mapei, Everbuild and Sika, and organises its range into clearly separated families so that trade buyers can locate a specific product type rather than browsing a single undifferentiated list.

The company also advertises savings on bulk orders and provides a dedicated telephone line for bulk enquiries.
