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.
There are several Quality sealants, of which the two main materials are silicone and polyurethane. But what is the best choice of both? What are their characteristics, qualities and limitations?
To find out which sealants used, the advice of a specialist is advised because it depends on the support, the type of cladding of the building, exposure to the sun and rain, the type of façade (old or contemporary).
