Maintenance & Warranty Manual

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.
