Joint Sealants - Uses and Benefits


Joint Sealants


Sealing a joint is the process of applying a bead of sealant to the joint between two surfaces. This is typically done to prevent water, air, and other unwanted substances from entering or escaping an enclosed area. Joint sealing is commonly used in both commercial and residential settings, and there are various types of sealants compromised of silicone, polyurethane, acrylic and sometimes even a hybrid mixture. The material properties will be chosen based on the application purpose.


Commercial Joint Sealant Services


Commercial sealant services are typically used in large buildings, such as office buildings, hospitals, Multi-Family Buildings and schools. These services involve the application of sealants to several different surfaces on the exterior or interior of a building. These surfaces include windows/doors, brick, fiber cement, as well as metal. Commercial sealant services are important for preventing water damage, mold growth, and other repairs down the road.


Residential Joint Sealing Services


Residential sealants services are typically used in homes, apartments, and other residential properties. These services involve the application of sealant to a variety of different surfaces, such as counter tops, base boards, and bathtubs. Residential sealant services are important for preventing water damage, mold growth, and other deteriorations while maintaining a higher quality of aesthetics.

The Benefits of Joint Sealant Services

There are several benefits associated with both residential and commercial sealant services. A few of these benefits include:

  • Improved energy efficiency: Joint Sealants can help to improve the energy efficiency of your property by sealing up cracks and gaps that allow air to escape. This can help to keep your buildings warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with less energy consumption, proven by experts.

  • Improved appearance: Joint sealants help improve the appearance of your property by filling in cracks and gaps that may not be appealing to a resident/tenant. This can make your home, or business, look more polished and professional without having to perform major repairs.

  • Prevention of water damage: Joint sealants can help to prevent water damage by sealing up cracks and gaps in surfaces. This can help to protect your property from leaks, flooding, and other water-related problems.

  • Prevention of mold growth: Mold prefers moist environments, such as those that are created by cracks and gaps in surfaces that allow water intrusion. Joint sealants can help to prevent mold growth by sealing up these areas and preventing moisture from accumulating in subsurface.

If you are looking for joint sealing services, be sure to contact a qualified professional. They will be able to assess your needs and recommend the best type of sealant for your application.
