Gyproc
EasiFiller
Gyproc has recently launched a new range of ready mixed fillers for general repairs, surface damage or deep holes and cracks. This range is said to perfectly complement the brand’s current selection of EasiFill powder fillers, enabling it to provide a solution that suits all when it comes to repairing walls — a powder option, allowing control of the mixture, whilst this ready mixed alternative facilitates ease and convenience.
The range offers three variants of ready mixed fillers: ‘EasiFiller’ is a multi-purpose ready mixed wall and ceiling filler that is designed for general repairs, such as filling small holes and cracks. Like its fellow products in the ready mixed range, it’s quick and simple to use and ideal for most internal surfaces including plaster, plasterboard and concrete.
Within the range, Gyproc also offers EasiFiller Light and EasiFiller Finish. The light version can be used for filling fine cracks and deep holes whilst EasiFiller Finish is a fine finish for large areas of surface damage and hairline cracks.
The items are available in trade pack sizes including 1L, 2.5L, 3L and 5L tubs, depending on the product variant. Customers can choose a flexible delivery option to suit — simply use the full or mixed pallet delivery option, or even the express parcel service provided by Artex.

Ikon
Kitemarked Rooflights
Ikon Rooflights — a new brand from leading industry supplier, Sunsquare — states it “has brought BSI-Kitemarked rooflights to the reseller market for the first time”. With two flat-roof skylight designs, the new range is said to offer “verified quality and unbeatable margins”.
Mark Lambert, Sales Director at Ikon Rooflights, said: “For a long time, prohibitively high pricing has made Kitemarked rooflights completely inaccessible for the reseller market. This has left distributors having to compromise, unable to offer top-quality products at a margin that makes commercial sense.”
The launch features two new product models — the Ikon Air is described as a stylish, electronically opening rooflight that provides fresh air at the touch of a button. Secondly, the robust, fixed Ikon Pureview offers a clear sightline and frameless look. They have been designed to be quick and easy to install, and both models are available as stock in eleven sizes, with delivery within just seven working days. Ikon rooflights feature laminated glass as standard and are backed by a 10-year warranty.
Mark added: “Both the new Ikon Air and Ikon Pureview are built to the highest quality, efficiency and security standards, each holding a BSI Kitemark — and all at an extremely affordable price point. For the first time, this gives builders’ merchants the opportunity to meet rising demand for quality with a product that really competes on price.”
K Rend
Product range
Whether your customers are looking to weatherproof their project or simply freshen up exterior walls, render is a great way to update a property. For 30 years, K Rend has offered a huge range of external silicone renders and finishes designed to protect homes from the elements and add a touch of style.
Most finished façades are a low maintenance finish, which require minimal upkeep. However, cleaning and maintenance may be needed from time to time and can be dependent on factors such as:
- Weathering — a condition and process by which various natural agents, such as wind and rain, act upon a finished façade. This is a long term, slow process.
- Spores in the atmosphere, dependant on the local exposure.
- Smog in urban areas, depending on the local environment.
K Rend offers a wide aftercare product range which includes K Pro, a water-based protective treatment which provides long term enhanced water repellent properties to external render and other masonry surfaces. Colour Enhance, meanwhile, is a high performance, water-based coating, designed to enhance the appearance of existing render surfaces.
Colour Fill is a flexible, ready to use, exterior masonry filler that is suitable if the render becomes damaged or cracked due to poor application. Finally, K Rend Algae Clean removes algae, mildew, fungus and lichen stains from external rendered facades.

The semi-gloss finish dries hard with strong adhesion. Applied by spray, brush or roller, it has a coverage — depending on the porosity of the substrate — of up to 11 square metres per litre.
