 FIXINGS, ADHESIVES & SEALANTS
Apart from their market-leading sheet products, you can rely on a full range of fittings & accessories from  DIY PLASTICS (UK) who are the UK's leading retail supplier of plastic sheeting and associated DIY and home improvement products. We supply and deliver all over the UK, to all parts of England, Wales, Scotland (including the Scottish Isles) and Northern Ireland. Established in 1973, the business has built up a wide range of quality plastic products to suit the trade user, the experienced DIY enthusiast and the ordinary householder alike. Here is a summary of our tapes, adhesives, sealants, mastics, fillers, accessories & fittings - please follow the links or use our Product Selector on the left or Search Facility above for more details of each product. Or ask for our full colour catalogue with details and prices of our full range, many more illustrations and lots of useful hints & tips for working with plastics.

adhesive tapes
DOUBLE SIDED ADHESIVE TAPES have been a DIY Plastics speciality since our very earliest mail order catalogues in the 1970. Double Sided Film Tape (photo on left) is ideal for fixing Clear PVC & Polyester and other flexible plastic sheeting. Double Sided Foam Tape offers tough outdoor quality with extra strong acrylic adhesive for sticking all types of plastic including rigid sheets, and Double Sided Mastic Joining Tape is a type of "strip adhesive" to stick polythene without cracking or hardening

OUTDOOR WEATHERPROOFING TAPES will help you with all sorts of tricky fixing jobs around the house & garden. Clear Waterproofing Tape is ultra-clear for repairing cracked glass, sealing the joins between Corrugated PVC sheets or mending tears in PVC. Bedding Tape is a clean and easy way to seal plastic glazing sheets into a rebate while still allowing the necessary expansion movement. Flashing Tape is heavy duty aluminium facing on a bitumen adhesive base - ideal for roof to wall joints with corrugated or flat sheet. Aluminium Tape is a lighter-weight version for flashing round upstands, pipes, gutters etc. Finally a special Primer for sealing brick, concrete, stone or timber before applying Flashing or Aluminium Tape or other self-adhesive products.

fillers and mastics
FILLERS & MASTICS are a key part of the DIY Plastics offer - you should never use putty or any sealant that sets hard with plastic sheeting. Silicone Sealant (see photo on left) is one of the best for plastics as its rubbery texture allows movement with heat changes, and of course it's an all-purpose waterproof gap filler & sealer all round the house. It's essential to use the correct formulation of Silicone so don't buy any old cartridge or you could damage your plastic glazing! For filling larger cavities use Expanding Foam: dries hard & can then be trimmed to shape & overpainted. Or a more traditional oil-based Mastic - use like putty but again allows necessary movement.

ADHESIVES FOR PLASTICS include a general purpose Contact Adhesive suitable for most plastics. Acrylic Glue (photo right) is ideal for building display cabinets: it sets completely clear when used to join Acrylic or Perspex sheet to itself and can be used to glue in place special Acrylic Hinges (see below). Polystyrene Cement is similarly used for glue polystyrene sheeting together.
adhesives for plastics

FITTINGS & ACCESSORIES are a vital element of the DIY Plastics (UK) range - we know that to do a good job with our plastic sheeting products you'll need the right fixings. If you can't find what you need on this site or in our catalogue - please ask!
A few examples are universal Fixing Washers for roofing & cladding (see photo far left), Acrylic Hinges for cupboards & display cabinets, a neat Cutting Knife for "scoring & breaking" all solid plastic sheets and our remarkable PLEXUS Cleaner/Polish which will clean & bring a shine to all types of plastic, even old & scuffed material.
