The Difference Between Silicone Caulking and Elastomeric Caulking
Silicone caulking has been around for many years it is as it’s namesake a silicone based product. It is relatively inexpensive and comes in a wide variety of colors. It adheres to some surfaces and is useful to stop leaks around tubs and sinks, but how does it hold up to extreme weather conditions? Silicone caulking is not recommended for outdoor use simply because there is a much more superior product on the market today call elastomeric caulking.
Elastomeric caulking has a lifespan of 20 plus years and is more expensive than silicone caulking but over time you will save considerably more money because of fewer applications.
Elastomeric caulking is much stronger and more flexible than silicone caulking stretching up to 200% more meaning it less likely to lose it binding against surfaces. When it comes to extreme temperatures elastomeric caulking far exceeds silicone caulking and weather does not break down its compounds making it far better choice when dealing with the exterior of a home.
