Caulking is a sealing material used to fill gaps and cracks in various surfaces, preventing moisture, air, and pests from infiltrating buildings. It helps maintain energy efficiency, structural integrity, and indoor comfort levels.

Caulking can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, including wood, metal, glass, concrete, and masonry. It is commonly used around windows, doors, siding, baseboards, and plumbing fixtures.

The lifespan of caulking varies depending on factors such as exposure to sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and moisture levels. Generally, high-quality caulking can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more under optimal conditions.

Signs that indicate the need for re-caulking include visible cracks, gaps, peeling, or crumbling of existing caulking, as well as increased drafts, moisture intrusion, or pest activity around sealed areas.

While DIY caulking is possible for small projects and experienced individuals, hiring professional caulking services such as Absolute Caulker, ensures proper preparation, application, and longevity of the seal. Professionals also have access to specialised tools and materials for optimal results.

Common types of caulking materials include silicone, polyurethane, and hybrid blends. Each has unique properties suited for specific applications, such as flexibility, weather resistance, and adhesion to different surfaces. We use various products from Pasco, Tremco, Fosroc, Sika and APTC.

With more than 15 years of industry experience and valuable supply chain contacts, we have the capability to source almost any product on the market to meet specific specifications.

Drying times for caulking can range from a few hours to several days, depending on the type of caulking, environmental conditions, and thickness of the application. Full curing typically takes 24 to 48 hours but may vary based on temperature and humidity.

Regularly inspect caulking for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or gaps, and perform timely repairs as needed. Keep sealed areas clean and free from debris to prevent deterioration, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may degrade the caulking.
