What exactly is the difference between Elastoplast Caulking & Polyurethane Caulking?
Elastomeric caulking is far more superior than a polyurethane caulking because of its chemical compounds. Polyurethane is an organic material which will break down over time, where Elastomeric caulking is an inorganic material and stand the test of time with the type of weather Florida has. If you plan on fixing water leaks or seal outside of houses around windows and doors elastomeric caulking is the proper way to go.
With the intense UV rays that Florida has, using Elastomeric caulking is needed simply because UV rays will affect the sealant depending on its chemical compounds. Cracks and gaps in wood doors and windows with the heat or cold can move up to 1/2 inch or more throughout the day. The caulking must be able to adapt to these changes, this is where elastomeric caulking is the best sealant to use.
Price Costs of Polyurethane Caulking Vrs Elastomeric Caulking
When it comes to cost you need to think of the long-term investment. Using Polyurethane Caulking might be cheaper in the beginning but the caulking needs to be reapplied every 5 years compared to elastomeric caulking which will last 20 plus years. So, in the run long you will be saving more money and time buy using Elastomeric Caulking.
