Water infiltration is a significant and costly issue for property owners. Water and moisture damage can lead to mold growth and the destruction of both visible and concealed interior finishes.
In Canada's extreme climate, efficient HVAC systems are crucial. Compromised caulking or air leaks negate the effectiveness of these systems, leading to increased energy consumption and higher operating costs.
Pests can easily access residential and commercial properties through various entry points, including cracks in caulking, unsealed soffits, damaged foundations, and other openings.
Water infiltration between the foundation and concrete or pavement can gradually degrade the foundation, leading to basement leaks. Furthermore, freezing water in these areas can displace surrounding materials. Diverting water away from the property and implementing preventative measures will extend the foundations lifespan.
Silicone's flexibility and durability make it the preferred exterior caulking material for windows, doors, and expansion joints. The inherent expansion and contraction of substrates necessitate a sealant, such as silicone, that can accommodate these movements to maintain a watertight seal over time.
Silicone-Polyurethane hybrid technology presents a superior alternative, leveraging the benefits of silicone's performance characteristics with the paintability of polyurethane. Have you encountered the aesthetic challenges of cracking and drying frequently observed with conventional interior caulking? This hybrid material offers a durable and long-lasting solution. Although the initial investment is greater, its extended service life justifies the premium over time.
Latex and acrylic latex sealants are widely adopted for interior applications due to their low cost, ease of cleaning. paintability, and rapid cure times. These products are primarily used by painters because of these advantageous properties.
In high-moisture environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend specifying a 100% silicone sealant with enhanced mold resistance.
Polyurethane is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, particularly where a paintable product is desired. It's lifespan in exterior applications is roughly half that of silicone-based alternatives, although it offers comparable indoor performance.
