How to choose the right silicone for sealing

Silicone is an indispensable product for perfect sealing on different types of materials, avoiding water infiltration and humidity problems through optimal insulation. On the market, you can find different blends, including neutral silicones suitable for use on some particular surfaces, such as glass, windows and wooden items.

Acrylic silicones, on the other hand, are suitable for use in construction, as they can be applied to walls, floors and plasterboard sheets, and then finish the surface by painting the coating. Acetic silicones are perfect for materials subject to condensation and humidity, such as bathroom fixtures, tiles or kitchen taps, with various colors to choose from from white to black.

One aspect to consider is also the form in which the product is used. For example, liquid silicone is very popular in construction, as it can also be applied with a brush. Alternatively, the silicone foam is easily applied using the spray mechanism, otherwise you need to buy a silicone gun to seal the points of interest with extreme accuracy.

How silicone is applied

After purchasing the silicone that best suits your needs, you must proceed with the application, remembering to take some precautions, for example, always using gloves for your hands and protective goggles for the eyes. Before applying the product, it is necessary to clean the surface thoroughly, removing dirt and residues of other materials to ensure optimal sealing.

Once this is done, it is also important to protect nearby materials by covering them with masking tape. Next, you can use the spray or gun to put an adequate amount of silicone on the area to be sealed, spreading the material evenly. Finally, all that remains is to remove the excess silicone with a damp cloth, waiting the time indicated on the package for drying and then proceeding to remove the tape.
