Patifix/Fablon Self Adhesive Films / Sticky Back Plastic / Fablon
For some time there have been supply issues with the fablon range of sticky back plastic / self adhesive films. It was unclear what the issue was but it turns out the company that manufactured it (H & A) was in financial difficulty and has since gone into administration.
We have therefore had difficulties supplying any of the fablon range and were only able to get hold of selected products for the last 12 months or so.
We are pleased to advise that an alternate range is now available manufactured by a company called Patifix. The Patifix range is very extensive and now available to order from PagesDIY.com. We suspect that people will continue to call the sticky back plastic range by the brand name fablon for some time, a bit like the word hoover with regard to vacuuming. We do still have a few fablon products available, although most the products available on our site are from the new Patifix range of self adhesive films. The Patifx products are identical in quality to the old fablon range and offer very similar patterns to the ones we used to sell in fablon as well as several new ones. One example of the marble grey is shown to the left.
The Patifix range is available in plains and prints, woodgrains, marbles, a huge range of window films, new metallic range, new white / black board film range as well as velours.
The new patifix range features a fairly extensive new offering of window films including mosaics, water droplets and stained glass window style patterns. Other all new sticky back plastic products available since we've introduced the patifix product range are the metallics available in criss cross (shown right), metallic squares and brushed silver. These are all welcome additions to the self adhesive films offered by PagesDIY.com. Patifix also produce a white board film and black board film allowing surfaces to be easily converted into surfaces suitable for dry wipe pens or chalk.
E-commerce manager at PagesDIY.com, Chris Page said, "I'm delighted to be able to offer a range of self adhesive films or sticky back plastic (as some people like to call it) once again. It was real shame to see a long standing product like fablon go but I'm glad we can offer our customers a very similar product with an extensive range offering once more."

Well travelled Gainsborough Door Knobs
We had an enquiry last week from a customer who lived in Melbourne Australia. He was looking for some Gainsborough Door Knobs that were listed on our online store PagesDIY.com.
Conscious of the cost to the customer I initially advised him to contact Gainsborough directly as the HQ of Gainsborough Door Knobs is in Melbourne Australia. However it seems the specific version of the knobs in ebony with bright chrome backplate were no longer available in Australia, hence his request asking if we could supply them.
We were more than happy to oblige. We've previously shipped Gainsborough Door Knobs to the United States but this was the first time we'd sent a large order to Australia! It seemed a bit bizzare that these knobs were manufactured in Melbourne, had travelled to the UK by ship and were now heading back to Melbourne in an aeroplane and to a customer who lived not far from Gainsborough HQ!
So the door knobs were packaged up and sent last Thursday by Fedex. The service provided was fantastic and were delivered to the customer on Monday safe and sound.We received confirmation from the customer that they were pleased with the service and the speed they had been delivered.
We were delighted we were able to help this customer out as they already had these knobs within their home and needed to match them up.
For those not familiar with the Gainsborough range they are a high quality door knob range available in passage, privacy, wardrobe and cupboard door functions. They come in a wide variety of finishes including ceramic / porcelain, brass, chrome, satin chrome and crystal glass effect. Please browse the pages on our site PagesDIY.com to find out more about Gainsborough Door Knobs and the styles available.Thursday, 30 June 2011
Home Security in Hot Weather
The summer is a time when you seem to get far more opportunist thefts from homes. It's often because people leave windows open or unlocked particularly when asleep at night or if they pop out in the daytime. Please take extra care at this time of year so you don't become another statistic.
Modern cars have become so sophisticated that it's only really possible to steal a vehicle with the car keys. Think about where you keep your keys - anywhere around the front door particularly where a long stick or similar could reach them through the letterbox is never a good idea! Close to open windows is an open invitation too. If you have windows you want to keep open for ventilation think about fitting some sort of device to limit how wide the window can be opened.
You'll find a large range of security products available at PagesDIY.com to protect your home. In fact you'll probably find that PagesDIY.com covers all your security needs with products from all the leading security brands including; Yale, Union, ERA, Abus, Henry Squire etc. If you can't find what your looking for please contact us on 01639 884076 as there is a good chance we can source what you're looking for. In our locks, padlocks and security section you'll find a large range of door and window locks & secondary security products, digital push button locks, garage door security products, hasp and staples, padlocks, safes, key safes etc., security chains and security alarms.
The secondary security products we keep are great for adding additional security to your windows and doors. We have a large range of locks and fittings for wooden windows, locks and fittings for metal windows and locks and fittings for UPVC windows.
To restrict the window opening on a wooden window you could consider a securistay or ventilation lock. These restrict how far the window can be opened and can only be disconnected when the window is in a closed position.
A great way to improve security on a UPVC window or door is with our Sash Jammer Kits.
These are face fixed additional security device for UPVC windows and doors. Suitable for inward or outward opening doors and windows. This sash jammer is supplied with a lock which may be optionally used. Should you prefer not to use the lock the sash jammer can be used without it.
Supplied complete with all instructions and a choice of fixings. It can either be fitted with the supplied self tappers or the supplied bolts and jacknuts. You can view a video here showing how these are fitted.
Other secondary security products it could be worth considering is a rack bolt style door bolt, security chains and even door viewers.
The most important thing is that you don't become lapse when the weather is hot. Try not to leave downstairs windows open overnight or during the day time whilst you are out. Where possible add additional security to your windows and doors and good quality padlocks and hasp and staples to your sheds. Thieves know there are often high value lawn mowers and garden equipment kept in sheds and expensive bikes etc. in garages. So make sure that your shed and garage are all well protected too. For outward opening garage doors consider a garage door defender as an additional security measure against thieves.
By making your home more difficult for thieves to gain access with a range of security products from PagesDIY.com you are helping in the fight against crime and you will hopefully not become another statistic this summer.

Get your decking ready for when we get some decent weather
It was the longest day of the year yesterday and July is quickly approaching. We should all be out enjoying the blazing sunshine but as is so typical of Wimbledon fortnight and the British Summer over the past few years, the weather isn't all that good at the moment.
Although we might not be basking in mid 20 degree heat at least it is dry enough for long enough for you to get out in the garden and get it looking great for when we do finally get some decent weather so you can sit back and enjoy it.
You're probably going to want to make sure your decking is looking good and we have a range of products available from manufacturers like Cuprinol, Liberon, Ronseal and Rustins specifically for outdoor decking. Browse through the products in our paints, varnishes & woodcare section.
The first thing you are going to want to do is clean and restore the decking as I'm sure it's looking a bit grubby. Cuprinol do a decking cleaner that is specifically designed to remove dirt and grease and kill algae and mould. Liberon also do a decking cleaner which can be found at the bottom of this page. The Liberon product again is designed to remove dirt, mildew and grime and inparticular helps remove black spotting caused by mould and lichen.

Once you've got the decking cleaned and prepared you're ready to coat it. All the manufacturers mentioned above produce products for coating and treating decking. With so many on offer you're going to need to browse through PagesDIY.com to choose the most suitable product: Cuprinol decking products, Liberon decking products, Ronseal decking products, Rustins decking products.
Once you've coated your decking why not consider an anti slip coating? Liberon produce an anti-slip coating suitable for use on decking as well as other areas such as patios, concrete areas, paving, stone and wood. It can be used around swimming pools etc. and makes surfaces non-slip even when wet.
Now is the time to get your decking looking great so that when we do finally get some decent weather, you can relax, BBQ and enjoy the weather and your garden!

Page's DIY Blog
Hi and welcome to our new blog. Here we'll keep you posted about updates to our site PagesDIY.com and provide further details on the products available to order for home delivery.
We thought that the first post should have a bit of background to our business which has been trading for nearly 100 years.. so here we go: Pages DIY Ltd. is a well known Port Talbot family business currently run by Jeffrey Page and today located at Talbot Road, Port Talbot. The business was established in 1918 by Jeffrey's grandfather just after the Great War in a small building at the rear of the family home in Grove Place trading as a carpentry and joinery business under the name of G. H. Page and Son. It was here that the groundwork was done to establish a successful family business. Jeffrey's father George, joined the business as a craftsman supplying many of the old established businesses in Port Talbot as well as the private sector with purpose made joinery.
The business continued to expand and in 1986 Pages' Home Supplies became Page's D.I.Y. The continuing growth of the business meant that in 1990 it moved from Grove Place where it all began to much larger premises at Talbot Road enabling us to continue to supply all the needs of builder and handyman alike.
You'll be surprised on visiting our high street store by the comprehensive range of products and well known brands which we stock. The Talbot Road store stocks a large range of tools, locks, ironmongery, DIY supplies, timber, timber sheet materials and has an instore key cutting service. Timber can be cut to size and we offer a delivery service throughout the South Wales area.

In 1960 George and his wife Dyllis opened a D.I.Y. shop known as Pages' Home Supplies. It was as Pages' Home Supplies that the business diverted away from carpentry and joinery and became a fore runner in D.I.Y.
Jeffrey joined the business in 1972 after successfully completing his carpentry and joinery apprenticeship and worked alongside his parents until the untimely death of his father in 1980.
The business continued to expand and in 1986 Pages' Home Supplies became Page's D.I.Y. The continuing growth of the business meant that in 1990 it moved from Grove Place where it all began to much larger premises at Talbot Road enabling us to continue to supply all the needs of builder and handyman alike.The old tradition of counter service is still retained today as we feel that direct contact with the public is a bonus to our business. We supply industry, tradesmen as well as the DIY enthusiast.
