Why is it so important to do the caulking again?\n<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]The Quebec Building Code provides that the techniques used for the construction of the building envelope make it impermeable to air and water infiltration.\n\nCaulking is the ultimate finishing step that must maximize this waterproofing effort in every detail. Caulking is the only way to properly seal the contours of doors and windows as well as the junctions of the various sidings.\n\nIt must be admitted that you have probably already experienced air and water infiltration if the current state of the caulking of your building is cracked or taken off.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-1px” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
