K-boys Construction and Mold Remediation have a large range of services to help you with all your weatherproofing needs. Why is exterior weatherproofing your home important? Without exterior weatherproofing your home can become valuable to water leaking into cracks, and around such things as window panes. Having moisture enter your home in such a way can cause you to have issues down the road with black mold and dry rot. Preventing your home from being compromised now will save you money in the long run.
Hiring a company to do your exterior weatherproofing for you is a wise decision. Leaving your weatherproofing up to the professionals who know all those hidden areas that need to be treated with caulking.
K-Boys Construction only uses the best materials for exterior weatherproofing your home, unlike some companies who use the cheap silicone caulking, K-Boys Construction only uses elastomeric caulking for the exteriors of homes.
So you might ask is there that much of a difference between silicone caulking and elastomeric?
Elastomeric Caulking
When working with weatherproofing K-Boys Construction knows that using elastomeric caulking is a must. There is a wide variety of materials it can be used on such as wood, tile, porcelain. drywall, glass, metal, plastics, and stone. It adheres to almost any surface and can withstand extreme weather conditions such as the ones we have in Florida. The caulking also will stretch to 200% allowing it to the elasticity to stay in the crevis that it was applied without forming gaps. The beauty of elastomeric caulking is that it will not crack or get brittle over time and it has a lifespan of 20 plus years, paying for your investment time and time again.
Silicone Caulk
Silicone caulk also omits a very strong odor and needs a certain amount of moister to set properly. Silicone caulking only has a lifespan of 5 years, as well as after being left to the elements it tends to crack and become brittle. Over time, the silicone will turn an orangish color and you might even be able to see mold growing in the caulking itself.
It might be the cheaper route to go however, K-Boys Construction focuses on quality, and what will work best for your home’s exterior and choosing the right material that is going to withstand heavy weather conditions in places like Florida, we know what works.
