Adding a new product to your range shouldn’t mean taking a punt on something you’ve only seen on a screen.
SEAC is now offering free product samples to wholesalers, distributors and stockists, giving trade buyers the opportunity to assess our products before deciding whether they’re right for their customers.
As a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of fixings, fasteners and roofing products, with a history stretching back to 1916, we understand that choosing a new product or supplier is about more than price and specification.
If you’re reviewing your current fixing range, looking for an alternative UK supplier or simply want to see what roofing and fixing products SEAC provides, we’ll happily arrange samples for you and your team to assess.
Why Request Product Samples Before Stocking?
There’s plenty you can learn from a technical data sheet. But it won’t tell you everything.
When you’re responsible for products that will ultimately sit on your shelves, you want to know what you’re buying:
- What’s the finish like?
- How does it compare with the line you already stock?
- Does the quality feel right?
- Is it something you’d be happy to put in front of your customers?
That’s the thinking behind our sample service.
Rather than asking you to commit to an order first, we’d rather let the product do some of the talking.
What SEAC Products Can You Sample?
SEAC manufactures and supplies specialist fixings, fasteners and roofing products to wholesalers, merchants, distributors and stockists, including our established POLYTOPS®, CON-SERT™ and WRAPTOR® ranges.
If there’s a product you’re considering adding to your range, talk to us about obtaining a sample.
POLYTOPS® Plastic Capped Nails and Pins
First introduced in 1981, POLYTOPS® are the original plastic capped fixing from SEAC and have now been serving the trade for more than four decades.
Available in a wide selection of colours and sizes, POLYTOPS® plastic capped pins and nails are used for applications including fascia, soffit, cladding, barge boards and window and door trims.
Following corrosion testing, SEAC upgraded POLYTOPS® from A2 to A4 stainless steel in 1991, while selected POLYTOPS® pins and nails subsequently achieved CE Mark EN14592.
Quality control continues through production too. Every batch of POLYTOPS® nails is destructively tested using SEAC’s drop-test rig, while independent pull-out testing has also been carried out by Loughborough University’s Department of Engineering.
For stockists, samples provide a simple way to see the colours, materials and finish in person and compare them directly with products already in your range.
CON-SERT™ Trade Screws
Our CON-SERT™ screw range gives merchants and wholesalers options for a variety of common trade applications.
The range includes Multipurpose Screws, Concrete Screws and Baypole Screws, providing useful lines for merchants supplying building, construction, window and general trade customers.
If you’re reviewing your current screw supplier or looking to expand your fixing range, ask us for samples so your purchasing team can assess the products before making a decision.
Specialist Fixings from SEAC
Alongside our branded ranges, SEAC supplies complementary products including A4 stainless steel cladding pins, glazing packers and wall plugs.
Our cladding pins use A4 stainless steel, making them particularly suited to external applications where corrosion resistance is important.
For wholesalers and merchants, the wider SEAC range also creates an opportunity to source a number of related products from a single supplier rather than adding another supplier for one individual line.
WRAPTOR® Breathable Roofing Membrane
SEAC’s range extends beyond fixings and fasteners.
WRAPTOR® breathable roofing membrane is available in 100gsm, 120gsm and 140gsm, giving roofing suppliers and builders’ merchants a choice of products for different requirements.
WRAPTOR® uses a three-layer laminated construction and is BBA approved for specified roofing and timber-frame applications. It is also BS 5534 compliant in all UK wind zones.
For merchants considering a new breathable roofing membrane supplier, a sample provides the opportunity to handle WRAPTOR® and compare it directly with membranes you already stock.
Why Choose SEAC as a Fixings and Fasteners Supplier?
The individual product matters, but for wholesalers and distributors, so does the business behind it.
SEAC is a UK-based manufacturer and supplier with more than 100 years of experience in fixings and fasteners. Our commitment to consistent quality is supported by an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system.
That commitment is reflected across the range through recognised standards, product testing and material choices – from CE-marked POLYTOPS® fixings and A4 stainless steel to BBA-approved WRAPTOR® roofing membrane.
For trade customers, it means dealing with an established UK business that understands both manufacturing and the demands of supplying products into the trade.
Do You Need to Change Your Existing Fixings Range?
Not at all.
Working with SEAC doesn’t have to mean replacing an entire product category or changing established lines that already work for your business.
You might start with one or two products that fill a gap, provide an alternative to an existing line or simply give your customers another option.
That’s another advantage of requesting samples first: you can identify the products that make sense for your range before deciding what to stock.
