What is House Caulking?
House caulking involves filling gaps where different building materials in your home join. There are many different kinds of caulk available on the market, but all are made from one of these four types of polymer:
- Latex
- Silicone
- Polyurethane
- Rubber
The kind of polymer base of the caulk will dictate its characteristics, such as what it will adhere well to, how easily it can be smoothed out, how durable it is, and how accommodating it is for painting over.
When Do I Need House Caulking?
You may need house caulking to:
- Stop heated or cooled air escaping through cracks in your building
- Prevent the growth of mould and mildew in your home
- Protect the structural integrity of your home from moisture and wood rot
- Create a barrier from water damaging your bathroom facilities
- Neatly finish off areas where two building materials meet in your home
Is House Caulking Permanent?
Silicone is waterproof, flexible and crack proof, making it a permanent solution for drafts, insects, moisture seepage and many other potential problems. However, it’s essential to choose the correct caulk for the correct application, as acrylic caulk doesn’t have the same benefits as silicone and can crack and shrink.
