Scellant calfeutrage
Sealants and caulking seals are effective in insulating windows and doors. The goal of sealants is to avoid air infiltration, humidity, rain, cold, the presence of insect nests in carpentry, but sealants also limit the heat that can sometimes be very strong in Quebec. Their installation requires professional experience and technical know-how to ensure that the effectiveness of these insulation products is effective over time and sustainable.
