FAQs
The best type of caulk to use on your property depends on the specific needs of your surfaces. Common types include silicone, butyl rubber, and acrylic latex, each with different attributes suitable for different applications. Depend Exteriors will guide you on the best caulk for your property.
Caulking inspection should be done annually, looking for cracks, gaps or other signs of wear and tear. Depending on the material used and the environmental conditions, caulking typically lasts for 5-10 years before it needs replacing.
Ideally, caulking should be done in dry weather when the temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7.2°C). Rain or extreme temperatures can affect how well the caulking adheres to the surfaces.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a slight difference between caulking and sealant. Caulk is generally more rigid and used in areas with less movement, while sealant is more flexible and used in areas prone to expansion and contraction.
Caulking improves energy efficiency by sealing gaps and cracks in your property’s structure, preventing heat loss and cold air intrusion. This helps reduce the strain on your heating and cooling systems, thus reducing energy costs.
