Caulking with ultra white sealant?
Among polyurethane sealants, there are two types of white: REGULAR WHITE or ULTRA WHITE CAULKING. What are their differences, their respective strengths, their limits?
An article from your caulking team on the North Shore to guide you in the choice that will suit you.
The Regular White
THE WHITE REGULAR is usually suitable for all situations but it tends to change color slightly over time. The colour can even vary depending on the orientation of the façade.
Although sealants with Polyurethane are among the best products on the market, sun, rain, wind and air pollution are all elements that can affect, in the short, medium or long term, the color of the joints.
This disadvantage is remedied by choosing
Ultra white or permanent white
There are so many different types of window or door frame materials, and so many siding bricks or finishing materials of facades like
- Wood,
- aluminum,
- steel,
- vinyl
- Etc
that it is most often impossible to perfectly harmonize the white of the sealant with that of the various openings or facings.
The extra cost of ultra white:
Because of the properties that make its whiteness permanent, the ultra white is more expensive. The additional cost, applied only to all white sealant joints, is 10%.
