Work of the caulker

The first mission of the caulking specialist is to prepare the surfaces before applying the silicone in order to obtain good grip and sealing in a sustainable way.

1- Cleaning the surface

First of all, the first job is to clean the support by removing any traces of grease, oil, paint, dust, rust… The surface should be dry and clean before the seal is applied. To achieve a perfect result, the tools used are scraper, sander, abrasive (extreme cases), solvent, jet air…

2- Laying a primer

Then, the caulker applies a primer by protecting adjacent areas via a masking tape (if necessary). The primer is applied to the cloth or brush in a thin layer.

3- Application of sealant for perfect caulking joints

For a good adhesion, the sealant is installed after the application of the primer. The seal is placed straight and continuously with a suitable pistol, avoiding bubbles or asperities and weaving the seal with a spatula.

Role of sealants in caulking

The main role of sealants is to fill a space to prevent water, air, dust or Insects to penetrate. These seals are also used as a protective layer on a surface that provides

• sound insulation (noise-cancelling) and
• thermal insulation (heat conservation).

The sealing process simply forms a protective barrier against the external elements.
