Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between sealants, silicone and expanding foam?
Sealants and silicone are used for sealing joints, gaps and interfaces between surfaces, such as around frames, skirtings, fittings and surface junctions. They are available in cartridge format with options for paintability, colour, interior or exterior suitability and substrate compatibility where stated. Expanding foam is a separate product type used for filling larger gaps, voids and cavities where product data confirms suitability for the application.
Before ordering any of these products, check cartridge size, colour, paintability where stated, interior or exterior suitability where stated, substrate compatibility where stated, cure time where stated and product data. If a project specification names a specific product type or brand, share those details with our team before ordering.
Should I choose paint brushes, rollers and trays, or decorating essentials for my project?
The choice depends on the surface area, task type and stage of the decorating work. Paint brushes suit cutting in, edging, detail work and smaller surface areas where a roller is impractical. Rollers and trays suit larger flat surfaces such as walls and ceilings, where consistent coverage across a wider area is needed. Decorating essentials cover supporting consumables used alongside painting and finishing work, such as preparation products, surface protection materials and mixing accessories.
Check brush width, bristle type, roller sleeve size and pile depth where stated before ordering. If the project specification names a particular product type or brush size, confirm before placing the order.
What should I check before ordering sandpaper or scrapers?
For sandpaper and abrasives, the key checks are grit grade, abrasive type where stated, format (roll or sheet), pack quantity and surface suitability where stated. Coarser grit grades suit material removal; finer grades suit surface finishing before painting. Steel wool and alternative abrasive formats may also be available within the range.
For scrapers, check scraper type, blade width, handle type and whether replacement blades are available for the product where stated. Confirm the scraper type is suitable for the surface and task before ordering.
What should I check before ordering white spirit or solvent-based decorating products?
White spirit is a trade decorating solvent used primarily for brush cleaning and surface preparation. Before ordering, check container size, product type where stated and compatibility with the coating or task in the product data. Confirm the product type matches the intended trade use before purchasing.
For specific product data or compatibility questions, check the product description or speak to our team before placing the order.
Can CMT Group help match decorating products to a project specification?
CMT Group can help you identify suitable product options based on the product information available, including cartridge size, colour, paintability where stated, adhesive type, grit grade, brush width, roller type, pack quantity and brand preference. Product suitability depends on the individual product data, site conditions and any project-specific requirements.
If a project specification names a particular product type, brand or technical requirement, share those details with our team before ordering.
Can I order decorating supplies alongside other site equipment and consumables?
Yes. Decorating supplies can be ordered alongside site essentials, electrical products, concrete and formwork products, site security and protection and heavy plant equipment. This helps procurement teams consolidate site setup, fit-out, refurbishment and maintenance orders where stock and delivery arrangements allow.
Use the Site Equipment & Consumables category to browse related ranges or speak to our team about larger combined orders.
Can CMT Group support repeat procurement and depot replenishment for decorating consumables?
Yes. CMT Group supports repeat procurement and depot replenishment for trade accounts across decorating consumables. Common repeat-order lines include sealants, silicone, adhesives, expanding foam, paint brushes, rollers, trays, abrasives, scrapers, white spirit and decorating essentials.
The wider supply service is supported by supplier-level accreditations including CHAS Elite, BSI ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ConstructionOnline Gold. These accreditations support procurement confidence around safety management, quality processes and supplier assurance. Product suitability still depends on the individual product type, site conditions, compatibility, manufacturer guidance and any project-specific requirements.
