Seal-Guard UK - SureSeal USA & Australia SureSeal is a division of Red I Challenge Corp. U.S.A., a worldwide leader for over 35 years in the development and manufacture of impregnators/sealants and protective coatings. Originally from Australia, we expanded our operations to the United States in 1995. Our reputation has been built on the development and manufacture of specialized petroleum and water-based sealants. All of our products utilize exclusive resins, engineered to be VOC compliant and environmentally friendly, while exceeding the highest performance standards in the industry. We are never satisfied with merely achieving the industry standards…we strive to be THE industry standard; that is why we never stop improving our products. SureSeal’s product offering is anchored by our superior line of petroleum and water-based impregnator/sealants. All of our products are user friendly for both the professional contractor and “do-it-yourself” handyman, as they are practically “goof proof”. They can be used with ease and confidence on all types of porous and non-porous surfaces, including the toughest surfaces to seal such as flagstone, limestone, saltillo tile, brick, concrete, porcelain, marble and granite, etc. The sealing and stain-resistant properties achieved by SureSeal's exclusive resins and technologically advanced formulas have been proven through rigorous tests performed by independent labs. Our UV resistant, silicone-free impregnators provide unmatched stain resistance, without changing the original appearance of the surface being protected. That is the reason they are used in so many commercial and residential applications around the world.
A look at Mapei from its humble beginnings as a small company on the outskirts of Milan to its current position as a world-leading multinational specialising in adhesives and chemical products for the building industry. 65 years ago, Mapei was just a small company on the outskirts of Milan, dealing mainly in paints, plasters, and interior and exterior covering materials for large buildings, hospitals, and airports. The big change came when the company began concentrating its efforts on a specific market niche: floor installation products. This proved a very successful step and Mapei is now a multinational which has neither gone into the red nor laid off workers in all of its years in the business. Its history is also inextricably linked with that of two generations of the Italian Squinzi family, in particular Rodolfo, who founded the company, and his son Giorgio who has continued his good work.
CornerTape was invented by a professional tiler and is aimed at both the trade and DIYers. This is not a fly by night gimmick like so many of the plastic tools on the market, which, to be effective still require you to have skill with a silicone gun. CornerTape is the only credible silicone accessory. See the endorsement by a pro' flooring company by clicking here. CornerTape comprises a clear outer tape and 2 secondary silver masking tapes. The tape is applied and aligned into the corner and then the clear outer tape is removed, leaving a perfectly parallel pair of secondary tapes with a gap into which you apply your silicone. You then smooth out the silicone with the plastic former that is provided in each pack and when used, all of the excess sealant is transferred onto the silver tape either side of the joint. The second silver masking tapes are then removed revealing a perfectly formed bead of sealant. CornerTape is a revolutionary, new and unique solution to the task of applying silicone sealant uniformly and evenly anywhere that a neat joint is required – especially around baths and showers, kitchen sinks and worktops, in tiled corners, and around tiled ceramic and laminate floors. CornerTape enables you mask both edges at once; and finish with a neat even bead of sealant every time. Tests have shown that using CornerTape more than halves the time taken to complete the task compared with traditional methods.

Sponsor the UK's biggest friendliest tiling forum, TilersForums.co.uk Forum History TilersForums.co.uk is a forum managed by untold.media who host and optimise it and manage the moderating team. The owner of untold.media started the original tile forum in 2003 - the pink one, which was designed to be a marketing tool for a tiling training centre and still serves its customers well to this day. Initially untold.media installed a free forum software developed by phpbb but after having difficulties getting the forum ranked well in search engines a slightly better forum software was chosen, this time developed by Invision Power Boards. After just a few weeks we were ranking number one in the search engines for all our related terms and members started flowing in day by day. Since then untold.media have been involved in another tiling forum owed by a tiling training centre and then tilersforums.co.uk. Each time improving on the last.

TilersForums.co.uk has the most amount of registered members making us the largest UK tile community, and we are still growing the fastest. We also have the largest amount of guests visiting the forum, partly due to our extra features, partly due to our unique unbiased atmosphere.
