Caulking and sealants are essential materials used in construction, home improvement, and various other applications. They are designed to fill gaps, cracks, and joints to prevent the infiltration of air, water, dust, or noise. Caulking and sealants help enhance the durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetics of buildings and structures.

Caulk is a flexible material that comes in various forms, including cartridges, squeeze tubes, and rope-like shapes. It is typically made from a combination of polymers, such as silicone, latex, or polyurethane. Caulk is applied to seal gaps between two surfaces, such as walls and windows, to prevent air or water leakage.

Sealants are similar to caulks but are generally used for broader applications and on different surfaces. They are also flexible materials, available in different forms, including cartridges, tubes, and cans. Sealants are typically used to fill larger gaps, joints, or seams in various materials such as concrete, metal, glass, or wood.

Caulk and sealants create a watertight seal, preventing water penetration into the gaps and joints. This is especially important in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor applications.
