Elite Caulking works with its own pods

In the commercial field (including condominium towers),the professional caulking expert must have all the certifications to enable him to work in a totally safe environment in full compliance with CNESST regulations.

It is a priority to make use of all equipment such as:

  • The pods,
  • Safety harness,
  • Helmet
  • Cranes
  • Lift platforms,
  • Protective shoes,
  • Signage, etc.

For Shawn Dupuis (Monsieur Calgautrage Élite), having your own platforms brings more flexibility and promotes speed of intervention.

The company also offers the rental of its aerial work platforms, by the day, the week, the month.

Comfort and energy savings of businesses

Proper maintenance of commercial building caulking around openings is essential to minimize the effects of winter conditions.

The large temperature variations in Quebec’s climate, combined with the effects of the sun and wind, push the expansion capacity to the extreme and reduce the life expectancy of the sealant.

The application of a new high-end sealant, applied according to the highest industry standards, will improve the quality of the environment inside stores, condominium towers and office towers while helping to maintain the return on energy savings.

Missions of the caulking expert

The mission of our Caulks is to use all their know-how to seal the windows of the Block air infiltration, seal water infiltration while helping to reduce heat loss.

The ultimate goal is to maintain a perfect waterproofing and promote good thermal insulation.

A professional inspection will allow the expert:

  • To note the level of deterioration of the current sealant,
  • To identify the causes of premature wear,
  • To propose a sustainable and sustainable solution
  • Assess potential risks if work is not done on time.

A result that lives up to your image

Total sealing is not the only goal.
A commercial, industrial or institutional must reflect the company’s image. Professional activity structures are places where employees, customers and suppliers rub shoulders.

The end result must therefore be in perfect harmony with the building envelope. The finish must be as aesthetically pleasing as possible and the Sealant Colors must match the current substrates.

The openings must therefore be joined and sealed to prevent the entry of cold, heat, dust and also insect infestation which is a disaster for a food business.

Office towers

Water infiltration into office towers damages a lot of documents and destroys several office equipment. These gaps result in considerable waste of time and money and undermine the company’s profitability.

Maintaining a good caulking will limit the risks associated with poor conditions in the building envelope.

Hotel residences

The physical exterior appearance of a hotel residence guarantees the interior comfort. Maintaining the caulking of the building envelope will help to maintain the original properties of insulation and soundproofing inside the rooms.

Retail and service trade

A business is a space that receives customers while offering the storage of all types of new goods.

Whether it is for food, clothing, pharmaceuticals, electronics or furniture, the seal must be perfect in order to keep these products in perfect selling condition.

Maintaining good waterproof caulking will protect the value of your inventories against water infiltration, insects or other nuisances.

Buildings for recreation and education

Buildings dedicated to recreation and education must provide a watertight and safe environment. Maintaining the sealing of the caulking will limit a large risk of water infiltration which is the main source of mold so harmful to children’s health.

There is no need to wait to see an inner sign of water infiltration. As soon as the sealant is cracked, the water seeps in.

And until the interior is saturated with water, you won’t notice any visible infiltration. But rest assured of one thing, the presence of mold and degradation will grow with the recurrence of water infiltration.

Medical clinics and residences for the elderly

People who are sick or weakened by age are often more sensitive to temperature changes. In addition to protecting users from pest discomfort, good caulking will also maintain the level of insulation in line with current standards and promote a temperate climate inside the building.
