Sealants – how to learn to choose correctly


Sealants – how to learn to choose correctly


Sealants play a crucial role in both new construction and renovation. They ensure tightness, flexibility and durability between materials where movement, moisture or temperature fluctuations can create challenges. The choice of the right sealant depends on the substrate, environment and desired aesthetics. In this article, you will get an overview of the most important factors to consider, as well as insight into different types and manufacturers of sealants.
The article presents a selection of sealants representing different types, properties and areas of application. The purpose is to provide an overview of the most common solutions on the market and help you assess which type best suits your project. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide an easy-to-understand and informative overview.
Factors to consider when buying sealant
When choosing a sealant, it is important to take into account both the material's properties and the environment in which it will be used. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.
1. Area of application
Sealants come in many varieties, and not all are suitable for the same purposes. Some are intended for indoor use, while others can withstand outdoor influences such as rain, frost and UV radiation. Consider whether the sealant will be used for façades, bathrooms, windows, floors or technical installations.
2. Elasticity and movement
Building materials expand and contract with temperature changes. An elastic sealant can absorb these movements without cracking. Silicone and polyurethane are typically good choices where high flexibility is required.
3. Curing time and workability
Some sealants cure quickly and are ready for use after a few hours, while others require more time. Fast-curing products are practical for small repairs, while slower curing can provide better control for larger tasks.
4. Adhesion and compatibility
It is important that the sealant adheres well to the materials you are working with – e.g. concrete, wood, metal or plastic. Always read the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that the product is suitable for the substrate.
5. Resistance and maintenance
In damp or exposed environments, you should choose a sealant with high resistance to mould, chemicals and UV light. This extends the lifespan and reduces the need for maintenance.

Different types of sealants
There are many types of sealants, each with specific properties and areas of application. Here are some of the most commonly used.
1. Silicone sealant
Silicone sealant is flexible, water-repellent and ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and windows. It withstands moisture and temperature fluctuations and is available in both neutral and acetic acid-based versions, depending on the substrate.
2. Acrylic sealant
Acrylic is suitable for indoor use, especially at joints between walls, ceilings and panels. It can be painted over, which makes it popular for finishing work. However, it is less elastic than silicone and should not be used outdoors.
3. Polyurethane sealant (PU)
PU sealants are very strong and flexible, making them suitable for outdoor constructions, façades and floor joints. They adhere well to many materials and withstand movement and stress.
4. Hybrid sealant (MS polymer)
Hybrid sealants combine properties from silicone and PU. They are versatile, low-odour and can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are also paintable and have good adhesion to many surfaces.
5. Bitumen- and asphalt-based sealants
These are primarily used for roofs, foundations and asphalt repairs. They are highly resistant to water and weather but are not suitable for indoor use.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between silicone and acrylic?
Silicone is more flexible and water-repellent, making it ideal for damp areas. Acrylic, on the other hand, can be painted over and is typically used for indoor joints where movement is minimal.
Can you paint over sealant?
Acrylic and hybrid sealants can usually be painted over, while silicone cannot. If you want a uniform appearance, you should choose a paintable type from the start.
How long does a sealant last?
The lifespan depends on the material and environment. Indoor joints can last 10–20 years, while outdoor joints often need to be replaced after 5–10 years due to weather and UV exposure.
How do you remove old sealant?
Use a sealant knife or a special tool to cut away the old joint. Clean the area thoroughly before applying new sealant to ensure good adhesion.
When should you replace joints?
When the joints crack, come loose, discolour or become porous, it is time to replace them. This prevents moisture and damage to the structure and ensures a neat finish.
