• Modern Functionality for Old Style Putty

Hodgson’s Heritage Putty was developed for new installations of narrow cavity double glazing or for the upgrade reglazing of frames that are currently glazed with single glass.

It is well suited for conservation or restoration projects on narrow cavity insulated glass units (IGU) with reduced spacer-bar sightlines into non-drained (fully bedded) window and door frames for both bedding and fronting as well as repairs.

It gives the appearance of a traditional putty front on single glass, insulating glass units and reduced sightline units into softwood, hardwood, steel and stone frames with all the performance and workability of a modern glazing compound, says the company.

Takes paint

Despite its traditional-sounding name, Hodgson’s Heritage Putty is a modern cartridge-based alternative to putty that is based on the company’s Hy-Spec hybrid technology. Ready to gun like other familiar glazing sealants in white and black, it can be painted once cured. It will accept all water-based paints and stains though it can also be left unpainted if desired.

It is currently being used across the country having been tested extensively with major edge sealant manufacturers to ensure absolute compatibility.

 Heritage Putty is durable and remains permanently elastic throughout its life with low residual tack, so it picks up as little dirt as possibility.
