Caulking plays an important role in
maintaining your tile, grout and stone. The caulking is a
waterproofing around sinks, tubs, at backsplashes and in the corners of
tub and shower walls. When the caulking fails, water can get into
the wall or surface and cause damage. Caulking can fail due to
the incorrect type of caulking being used or because it is old or has been
damaged by excessive moisture or chemicals. When the caulking fails
it must be removed, old residues cleaned away and new caulking
applied.
Caulking comes in colors and textures to match your grout and will
match your tile. Grout Pro blends the caulking into the
tile or grout to make a beautiful functional
surface.
The newer caulks have antibacterial agents that help prevent mold
and mildew and last longer than older caulking materials. Since
moisture can soften caulking, the drier the caulking is kept the
longer it will last. Keeping areas behind sinks, edges of tubs and
showers as dry as possible and avoiding puddles which can take hours
to evaporate will greatly improve the length of time the
caulking will last.
