Xpert finish for Knightstone Property

Knightstone Property has reported ‘outstanding’ results after using Xpert 117 LMN silicone to install 83 windows for the conversion of a former private school in Weston-Super-Mare into nine high-spec apartments.

Operating across the Southwest, the developer and construction company is said to pride itself on the quality and durability of its refurbishment work.

“We’ve used Xpert 117 LMN silicone on all 83 windows on this site,” explained Ross Brock, Knightstone’s property manager. “It’s a really great product and our fitters like using it because it’s pliable, smooth to apply, and gives a far better finish than other brands of silicone we’ve used in the past. Some silicones can be overly sticky and hard to work with, but Xpert 117 gives you a nice clean result.

“You look for two things in a silicone: the finish, because that’s what people see, and the long-term performance. Is it going to last? Will it discolour or shrink? Since, we started using Xpert 117, we haven’t had any of those problems,” he continued.

“The big win on a job this size is being able to stick with a single, reliable product. With Xpert 117 LMN used on every window, we’ve got the consistency and confidence that it’ll hold up – no surprises, no call-backs. Plus, it’s been absolutely perfect for this sandstone building.”

Developed with decades of sealant manufacturing experience behind it, Xpert 117 LMN is said to offer superior adhesion to virtually all construction materials, both inside and out, thanks to its high-silicone content, permanent elasticity and a flexibility tolerance of up to 20%.

Installers also benefit from minimal shrinkage, excellent UV resistance, and a smooth, controlled application.

Xpert 117 LMN silicone is available nationwide through reputable trade counters and stockists and designed specifically for fenestration professionals.
