What it is

Silicone, acrylic and polyurethane sealants are used around windows, sinks, bathtubs, expansion joints and where different materials meet.

Types and key points

  • Silicone: wet areas, sinks and glass
  • Acrylic: paintable, around frames
  • Polyurethane: joints that move
  • Needs clean, dry surfaces

Why it matters

Rain often gets in around window frames, not through the wall. Good sealant stops it.

How Elamentt handles it

Window frames, sinks and joints are sealed as part of finishing.
