Caulking

There are many points that Absolute Roof Solutions will check regarding correct caulking. Proper use of caulking is important if used in the wrong applications it will only cause a leak later when it wears out. Notes regarding roofing are:

1. Do not use indoor “silicone” based caulking, this is only meant for indoors and breaks down quickly outdoors and in the sunlight. A Urathane or Polyurethane caulking is best as it resists the sun light much better and can last many more years than silicone. There are others but this is the most common.

2. Where possible a thick bead of caulking is used not a thin smear. A thin bead of caulking does not have any ability to flex or stretch without cracking. A thick bead can flex and stretch without cracking thus lasting longer.
