Amongst the special guests at the event will be representatives from the Building Product Specialist C-TEC, who will open the event.

C-TEC introduced the 'snag list eliminator' CT1, which revolutionised construction sealants and adhesives with its ability to seal a leak immediately, even whilst still leaking or underwater.

This product is the only sealant on the market that has an ETAG certificate and is also an approved product by the Scottish Passive Housing Centre.

Top technical sales representatives will be on hand to answer questions and live demonstrations including the latest in heavy duty vertical bonding will also occur throughout the day.
