What Every Homeowner Should Know

CAULK USES & APPLICATIONS

• Sinks and fixtures
• Door thresholds
• Tile meets wood flooring
• Where tile meets drywall
• Movement and flexability

One of the most frustrating and common problems in showers and tubs is the cracking and flaking of the tile grout in the corner areas, floors and where the tile ends. As time goes by these areas can take a beating from water penetration, abrasive cleaning procedures and the movement of differing materials expansion and contraction.

Filling these cracked areas with caulk is very important in terms of averting water damage to framing structures, floor plywood and drywall. Water rot is very damaging and costly if not stopped in the early stage.

It is essential to prevent the grout joints from cracking when it meets dissimilar materials of construction. As most grouts are not flexible, the movement of a structure’s foundation or the expansion and contraction of construction materials due to the elements will cause cracks to occur in these non-flexible tile areas. These are points where our Tile & Grout Caulk should be used. Either in new construction or remodel or old repair areas, a good filler of matched colored caulk will allow the flexibility, water repellant and stain resistance needed for those areas.
