...If I only knew how much of it I could/should use!]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158456#Comment_158456 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158456#Comment_158456 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 21:58:38 +0100 Cav8andrew ikimiki, I think I can safely say not 1320 !

If interested it's Den Braven Folieflex Spur, just not available in the UK, unlike some of their other products]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158460#Comment_158460 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158460#Comment_158460 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 08:20:35 +0100 Nick Parsons Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158463#Comment_158463 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158463#Comment_158463 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 09:09:03 +0100 Cav8andrew The price I was quoted was not, I believe, based on any economy of scale (one pallet) as this was just the minimum order that would be considered for importation to the UK. Therefore I imagine the price in Holland would be comparable to the price I was quoted (per individual cartridges). I had friends on holiday in Holland during the summer but I wasn't quick enough on the uptake, plus I'm not sure they would want to drag the family around Dutch builders merchants, I wouldn't mind though, suspect it would be quite enlightening. Do we have any forum members in Holland ? I think if any one persons requirements were great enough or a group purchase could be arranged a Dutch visit could well be worthwhile, would make for an interesting variation on a booze cruise !
I have a tube of the Den Braven Foliefix Spur sitting here and it is, I am sure, the same product re branded for ProClima, basically liquid green chewing gum ! It's range of applications, as described on the tube, is correct.]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158470#Comment_158470 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158470#Comment_158470 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 10:16:06 +0100 SteamyTea
3 times mark up is not that high, and there are only a few things in Europe that are cheaper.

Luckily my sister lives in Germany so I got her to order all the tapes and adhesives i required and picked them up last time I visited her]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158477#Comment_158477 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158477#Comment_158477 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 15:27:10 +0100 Cav8andrew RobinB, I like it !
adi, just seen your comment, thanks, but is that the pro clima or dan braven version.
Just checked the site, which is a bit of a revelation, and yes that is a price for pro clima. I am looking at the original manufacturers product, with still further discount) at retail). Perhaps your sister could do a bulk order for the Den Braven Foliefix Spur !]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158485#Comment_158485 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158485#Comment_158485 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 20:09:40 +0100 jamesingram Posted By: RobinBMaybe the start of a new ebay business?
my thought also, just need a shed/lock up and some time .


Posted By: SteamyTeaThere is a company in Ireland that sells if for 8.6 Euro.

3 times mark up is not that high, and there are only a few things in Europe that are cheaper. They tend to be the ones we notice, fags and booze, land, housing, etc.

So all the important ones then :)]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158504#Comment_158504 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158504#Comment_158504 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 02:14:44 +0100 wookey
That seems to be a German online specialist 'dichstoffe' supplier, where it is 7.14€ , so not a huge saving over UK price of OrconF, and significantly more than Bausep.de. It's 6.83€ in Austria: http://www.schraubenking.at/Folienkleber-FOLIE-FIX-SPUR-310ml-P002501. Also available in Bosnia: http://www.lorencicsarajevo.ba/ljepilo-za-foliju_05-11-5_3.htm

Are you sure you aren't being quoted the manufacturer's trade price, as opposed to the RRP?

I must admit I find Orcon F such good stuff that £7.70 doesn't seem an unreasonable price, but obviously if one could get it it for significantly less then that would be good.

Bausep's online form unfortunately doesn't allow delivery to anywhere other than Germany. SchraubenKing in Austria are happy to send to the the UK. (12.9€), which is slightly less than Ecomerchant charge to send some from Bristol(!).

The internet makes this stuff an awful lot easier than it used to be :-)

Of course you might decide that getting your glue tubes shipped from Austria to save a few quid is a bit silly, but it's what the EU is set up to make easy. We should really be hassling toolstation or screwfix to import the stuff for us in sensible volumes (1344 tubes at a time :-) (and airtightness tapes).]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158509#Comment_158509 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158509#Comment_158509 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:19:58 +0100 Cav8andrew I agree the product is superb and seems to be unique in its properties and if necessary I will pay the UK price for the twenty or so tubes required.
As you say the answer would be not to resort to tortuous routes of import but for some of the major building suppliers to take sustainable building practices seriously. I have not used Ecomerchant (also Bristol, my local) for a while so not to sure what they are now like, do they actually carry stock, when I last used them they did not and all items had to be shipped down.]]> Airtight membrane adhesive https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158510#Comment_158510 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9664&Focus=158510#Comment_158510 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:50:14 +0100 Ed Davies Posted By: Cav8andrewI intend to go back and ask if the price quoted is trade or retail as this was not discussed, just the actual availability to UK.
Isn't that one of those questions it's best not ask? You send them the money, they send you the pallet.
