Maintenance
Time
and weather will shrink caulking and
dry it out so that it no longer
provides a good seal against
moisture and air infiltration.
Caulking may need to be touched up
by the homeowner once each year.

|
Silicone Caulk |
Caulking that contains silicone will
not accept paint but works best
where water is present (for example,
where tub meets tile or a sink meets
a counter top). |
|
Acrylic/Latex
Caulk |
Acrylic/latex caulking is
appropriate for an area that
requires painting. (For example,
around the windows or along
baseboards.) |
|
Limited Warranty: Caulking is a
Homeowner maintenance item. |
