A FEW HOME MAINTENANCE TIPS

 

CAULKING
Caulks are typically general purpose products that fill gaps between building materials. They have average adhesion, low expansion/contraction and can be specified for interior or exterior use.

The Value of Caulking

Checking and repairing caulk should be a home maintenance project that gets done around the house every year or two.

  •  Caulking saves on heating and air conditioning bills.

  •  Caulking prevents moisture and insects from entering your walls.

  •  Caulking protects your home against damage caused by heat, water and weather  conditions.

  •  Exterior:
     Caulking protects the areas around windows and vents where water can seep in.

     Look for gaps and holes around door and window frames, wall and roof vents, and skylights.

     Examine around outdoor faucets and where the gas pipes and electrical lines enter the house.

     Check the joints where siding joins at corners and where it meets the roof and the foundation, or  where it meets the fireplace chimney.

  •  Interior:
     Caulking around the bathtubs, showers, sinks and splashboards prevents costly damage to your  floors and wall.

     To finish off your cabinets, or other painted  surface, before or after priming but before the final  painting, fill all gaps with painter’s caulk.

    (For a stained and clear-finished surface, apply clear or tinted silicone-based caulk after staining and clear finishing)
