Most Common Areas To Apply Caulk

Caulk isn’t on the top of most people’s minds because it doesn’t do much for the appearance of your home. The vital job of caulk is to provide a sealant that fills small cracks and spaces in your home. Our caulking services ensure water and air are kept out of specific locations. If you want to lower your energy bills, caulking is an excellent solution. Some of the most common areas we recommend applying caulk include the following:

• Windows – We can seal your windows with caulk to lower your energy bill. You may not be able to see tiny gaps, but air leaks can significantly increase your energy bills.
• Bathrooms – We recommend sealing all gaps that are exposed to water in your bathroom. The joints between your bathtub and floor are susceptible to gaps.
• Doors – Door frames are an excellent place for caulk to ensure air cannot get through the frame. Sealants can also help protect your doors from rot and water damage.
• Kitchens – Many areas in your kitchen are susceptible to moisture damage. We can apply caulk around the areas where your countertops meet your sink for an airtight closure.

What Type Of Caulk Do You Use?

It’s important to leave caulking to professionals that are trained in the best ways to apply caulk for proper sealing. We know the best types of caulk to use in specific areas of your home. Some of the most common types of caulk we use include the following:

• Latex – Latex is the most popular caulk selection because it is easy to apply and works well. Latex is easy to paint over but is known to break down when exposed to direct sunlight.
• Exterior – Exterior caulk stands up to the sun’s UV rays and is moisture resistant. We recommend exterior caulk around windows.
• Silicone – Silicone sealants are known for their weather and age-resistant properties. This type of sealant is challenging to apply due to its rigid structure.
• Mildew-Resistant – We recommend using mildew-resistant caulk in bathroom repairs. It is best used in areas with high humidity.
• Fire-Retardant – Fire-retardant sealings are non-combustible and safe. We recommend using this sealant around pipes, wiring, and HVAC ducts.
