Caulk

By Heather Sheraden

 

Seal Your Windows and Doors

Silicone caulk provides an exceptional airtight and watertight seal to keep warm air inside the home. Because it's not water based, there's minimal shrinking or cracking. Water-based acrylic caulk may shrink up to 25 percent, leaving cracks and gaps for air and water to move through.
