Trusted Caulking Contractors For Domestic & Commercial Projects
A project’s cost factors different aspects, with caulking being one of them. While this process contributes the least to the overall expense, poor implementation of caulking can cause leaks and lead to heavy repair costs. Poor application techniques, worn out sealant and moulds are some of the reasons why one may consider fresh caulk application.
Caulk is a flexible, air and watertight sealant, used to fill gaps in walls, windows, floors, attic, basements, crawl spaces and other areas of a building. It helps prevent leaks, accumulation of debris and entry of water, insects, and air. Alternatively, it is also used to stop fire. The right caulking solution acts a waterproof barrier, offers pliancy, and lasts long.

Concrete Caulking - Frequently Asked Questions
¼ inch is the limit for a single bead of caulk and if the gap is larger, one needs to fill the caulk into the gap, wait for it to get cured before putting a surface bead on it. But if the gap is quite large, using foam backer rod is recommended. In some cases, it is advised that for a gap larger than 1/8-inch, sanded caulk be applied in place of regular caulk.
Today, several concrete caulking options are available in the market for sealing. At BSL Group, we use polyurethane caulk for external purposes and acrylic caulk for internal purpose. Polyurethane is a strong adhesive and helps prevent the entry of air, debris and moisture into the cracks. Acrylic caulks are paintable and has weatherproofing properties. They are also comparatively economical than other sealants.
Caulking is used to seal leaks and can be applied at several places including doors and windows to reduce drafts, fixing cracks and filling gaps in concrete, stone and metal, small fissures in foundations and walls to prevent the entry of pests and rodents and to cover holes around pipes or electrical conduits. Caulk can also be used on moldings and baseboards, tiles, wallpapers, driveways, and damaged gutters including several other areas.
Caulking concrete helps the material in several ways. It prevents the entry of water under the slabs, avoid safety hazards due to shifting of slabs and helps stop the growth of weeds and grass between cracks and joints. If left unattended, weeds can lead to deterioration of concrete.
Expansion joints help concrete expand and contract without cracking the slab and to avoid water from entering, applying polyurethane caulk is recommended.
