The Challenge

Everbuild, a market leader in building products for the trade, wanted to solve a persistent problem: applying a perfect silicone tile edge seal consistently. With one of their top-selling product lines being kitchen and bathroom silicone, decorators and DIY enthusiasts often struggled to achieve neat, accurate silicone beads in corners, leading to wasted material, mess, and frustration. The challenge was to design a tool that could deliver professional results regardless of the user’s skill level.

 

The Solution

We designed the Seal Rite Dispenser, a device that allows a user to apply a strip of tape at a precise distance from the wall on either side of a tiled corner. Silicone is applied between the tapes, and once the tapes are removed, the result is a perfectly clean, consistent seal every time. The design focused on simplicity, reliability, and ease of use for both tradespeople and DIY users, eliminating the risk of errors and material waste while being efficient to manufacture.

 

The Results

  • Consistently produces perfect silicone seals in tiled corners.

  • Eliminates mess and material wastage.

  • Easy to use for both tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts.

  • Improves efficiency and reduces time spent on sealing tasks.
