What is Silicone (Caulk) Sealant?
Newly applied silicone caulk is a sealant with a tooth paste like consistency, and dries to a rubbery like finish. Typically silicone is used to seal sanitary fittings, but can be used anywhere that a waterproof seal is required between two non porous items where good adhesion can be achieved. Normally silicone comes in clear or white, but is available in a small range of alternative colours.
Silicone offers great flexibility while providing a waterproof seal. It is able to allow for natural expansion and contraction of adjoining substrates, and is therefore a great product for using around shower trays and baths etc. Alternative caulks/sealants do not offer this level of flexibility, which results in cracking, and consequently poor levels of waterproofing.
The only major drawback of silicone is that it cannot be over-painted, as the silicone contains oil which prevents the paint from bonding.
