The 5 Worst Caulking Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Windows

One wrong move is caulking your windows can lead to leaks, drafts and ugly gaps. A bad caulking job will look bad and will let in water, bugs and cold air.

Want to avoid these problems while window sealing in Hamilton? Here are 5 common caulking mistakes that can ruin your windows.

1. Using the wrong caulk

Some caulks are made for bathrooms, some for windows and some for floors. If you use the wrong one then might not stick well or last long. Always check the label before buying caulk!

2. Skipping surface preparation

Caulk will not stick well to a dirty or wet surface. If you skip the cleaning and apply caulk to a dirty surface then it will peel off fast. Avoid caulking over dust and old caulk. Remove it first and clean the surface to get a strong seal.

3. Applying too much or too little caulk

Caulk needs to fill the gap completely without making a huge mess. Too much caulk looks sloppy and takes forever to dry. Too little caulk will not seal properly. Do not squeeze big globs of caulk, instead use a steady hand and apply a thin bead.

4. Not letting it dry before smoothing

Caulk gets sticky and uneven if you smooth it quickly after applying. If you wait too long then it hardens and becomes difficult to shape. So do not rush, wait for ten minutes and get a neat and clean seal.

5. Ignoring weather conditions

Caulk will not dry correctly if it is cold, rainy or humid. This leads to cracks and leaks later. Avoid caulking in wet or freezing weather. Always check the forecast and caulking on a warm, dry day.

Bottom line

One mistake in caulking can lead to drafty windows, water leaks and wasted money. Instead of guessing, let the experts handle flawless application with no gaps. You can let Prime Caulking handle it for you. It is a top-rated name for exterior caulking in Hamilton.
