Bushboard’s BB Complete sealant
As sealant has a life span, Bushboard has developed BB Complete, their own bespoke adhesive and sealant which should be used to fit your Nuance wall panels. BB Complete is available in two versions. The installation adhesive is technically superior and must be used to bond the panels to the wall. As this will not be seen, it is available in a cost-effective neutral colour. It’s super strong (having originally been developed for the aircraft industry), flexible, and will not shrink or break down like silicone will. It is a condition of Nuance’s 15 year guarantee, that BB Complete is used to fix the panels in place.
