How To Choose The Best Joint Sealant Contractors?

 Joint Sealing Solutions are a very important part of the construction. Whether you are renovating a bathroom, installing a new roof, putting new doors or windows into your home or laying new floor tiles, you will need a professional joint sealer to fill any joint configuration so that the joint is sealed and air and water cannot pass through it.
Joint sealants ensure your construction work stands the test of time. When choosing Joint Sealants, it pays to always look at Silicone Sealants, Hybrid Sealants, Modified Silicone over Polyurethane Sealants. Silicone Sealants last for around 10-15 years on average while Polyurethane Sealants last just 5-7 years. Silicone is more durable and UV stable and will not break down as fast as polyurethanes.
Flexibility is key, not only with our service levels but our comprehensive range of 37 high-quality sealant products which have been extensively lab tested with chemists determining they pass all Australian standards and far exceeds the quality of many products on the market.

How to Choose a Joint Sealant Contractor?

Not all joint sealers work to professional standards. This is not part of your project you want to skim on. Although not the most prominent part of residential, commercial joint sealing or industrial construction, joint sealing—if done well and with quality products—adds value to any projects.

Look at how many years the contractor has been in businessIf a Joint Sealing Solutions Expert has been in business for 15 years or more, chances are they know what they are doing and can be trusted to do your job.
Ask them to show you examples of their workAll construction workers and tradesmen keep a photo portfolio of their work. Ask them to show it to you.  What you want to be looking at is the quality of their workmanship. Your bathroom floor sends as much of a message to visitors to your home so you want to be sure that their work looks good too.
Ask for referencesRedoing your bathroom floor can be an expensive job. So, before you assign it, you want to be sure of the tradesperson’s capability. Request three references you can call to have a quick chat with over the phone before you assign the job.

Key questions you might want to ask will relate to the quality of the work, the price, whether the work was completed on time and whether it proved to be durable.

Get competitive quotesIn your mind, you may already have selected the Joint Sealant Specialist you want to work with. However, you want to be sure that their prices are in line with the quality of the applicator and experience. For this reason, it’s good to get a few quotes to be sure.
Get timelines and schedules clearly laid outIt’s important for Joint Sealing jobs to be completed on time. You may want your new home renovated in time for a wedding, anniversary or birthday for example. Don’t take chances with dates like these.

To ensure the work is done on time, put everything in writing. If you can put penalty clauses, do it. Note: this may not always be possible.

Ensure the work is ready two weeks ahead of any key dates. Sometimes delays happen- so build in time for this.

What are the Qualities You Should Seek from a Sealing Solution Provider?

Image
  Sealants are chemical polymers that are applied to joints in bathroom tiles, floor tiles, doors and windows to prevent moisture from getting through and marring the surface look. Quality sealing solutions such as Silicone Sealants are more durable and flexible compared to ordinary sealants. They last longer – 20 years on average. But silicone sealants are just one part of the solution – the individual or organisation applying the sealants is as important as the sealants are themselves. What do you look for when appointing a tradesperson to develop and apply a quality sealing solution? Experience  – there are things you learn only from experience. And few know this better than people in the Tiling, Plumbing or Building Industry.There is only so much you can learn from your lecturers at University or TAFE. Ultimately, when it comes to building construction or bathroom renovation, it is an experience that makes the difference. Technical Know-how – deciding which sealing solution to use

Exterior Maintenance Guide - The Importance of Routine Caulking for Commercial Buildings

 If you own a commercial property, you’ll already be aware of the importance of routine exterior maintenance. One key element of this is Caulking. It’s more than just aesthetics, however – and not doing so can cost you money, as well as the comfort of those working there.   Keep reading on to find out why caulking is important for commercial buildings.   What is Caulking? Caulking uses a material called ‘caulk’ which is used to seal gaps around doors, windows and other building materials. They are similar to sealants, but unlike sealants, caulks are more suitable for areas that don’t expand or contract. Caulks harden after drying and are applied via a caulking gun. When applied at a professional level like which Seal’em Solutions does, they blend in with the surrounding area seamlessly. Acrylic caulk can also be painted over. Caulks are versatile enough to be applied to virtually any material. There are different types of caulk, each more suited to different specific surfa

Abseiling Caulking Windows & Walls - Seal'em Solutions

  Abseiling Caulking Windows & Walls . Abseiling, also known as rappelling, is a technique used in construction and maintenance to access and work on windows and walls of tall buildings, especially when traditional methods like scaffolding or aerial lifts are impractical or expensive. This method involves descending down the side of a building using ropes and specialized equipment. When abseiling is combined with caulking, it is typically done for the purpose of sealing windows and walls. Here's an overview of the process: Safety Precautions: Safety is paramount when working at heights. Workers need to be trained and certified in abseiling techniques and should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including helmets, harnesses, and safety ropes. Anchor Points: Secure anchor points are critical for abseiling. These are usually established on the roof or another structurally sound part of the building. The ropes are attached to these anchors to provide support for
