Frequently Asked Questions

How can I purchase your products?

Emecole Metro sells direct. Products that are classified as contractor exclusive are available to contractors who have verified that they are associated with a licensed business. Our D-I-Y classified products are available to the general public with no restrictions.

A few exceptions do exist where some specific products, such as our concrete crack repair starter kits are available to both contractors and D-I-Y.
