The Dry Flex System
Window Care Dry Flex RP System
The Window Care Dry Flex RP System is specially designed for exterior application and formulated to provide durable repairs.
Dry Flex system is based on two component expoxy resin which overcome many of the problems associated with the convetional epoxies.
The characteristics of Dry Flex RP are just like wood. It's flexible, has excellent adhesion to wood and can be planed, sawn, drilled, routed, nailed and screwed like wood. It allows the original character of the traditional windows to be retained and can be painted with all types of solvent and water based paints and wood stain. It has a proven record for exterior durability.
A Durable Alternative to Linseed Oil Putty
Window Care Dry Seal - an elastic glazing sealant
Linseed oil putty is widely used for glazing windows and doors. The putty is inherently brittle and generally shrinks away from the glass. The breakdown of putty causes early breakdown of paints and is mainly responsible for open joints and in situ wood decay due to moisture ingress.
The Window Care Dry Seal is an elastic glazing sealant which can be used for puttied windows, bead glazed windows and for perimeter sealing. The Dry Seal is paintable with opaque and translucent wood finishes and is extremely effective against moisture ingress.
In the event of the breakage of glass, Dry Seal is easier to renew compared to the removal/renewal of hardened linseed oil putty. The use of Dry Seal instead of linseed oil putty can help to achieve longer paint durability and contributes towards the prevention of insitu wood decay.
