Sealants & Caulk

Sealants & Caulk for Tile Installation & Waterproofing

Sealants and caulk are flexible joint materials used to seal movement joints, waterproof transitions, plumbing penetrations, and perimeter gaps in tile installations and construction assemblies. This collection includes silicone sealants, polyurethane sealants, adhesive caulk, expanding foam, acoustical sealants, and waterproof joint sealants used across tile installation, waterproofing, window and door sealing, and general construction applications.

Flexible sealants are commonly used at changes of plane, shower corners, tub surrounds, floor-to-wall transitions, backsplashes, countertop joints, pipe penetrations, and exterior gaps where movement, vibration, or moisture exposure may occur.

Types of Sealants & Caulk

• Silicone Sealants: Waterproof flexible sealants designed for showers, kitchens, plumbing penetrations, and wet-area tile installations.
• Polyurethane Sealants: High-adhesion sealants designed for movement joints, exterior applications, and construction transitions.
• Adhesive Caulk: Flexible sealing products designed for light bonding and gap sealing applications.
• Expanding Foam Sealants: Foam products designed to fill larger gaps, penetrations, and framing voids before finishing.
• Acoustical & Specialty Sealants: Sealants designed for sound control, flashing systems, waterproof assemblies, and specialty construction applications.

Sealants for Tile & Waterproofing Systems

Tile installations commonly use flexible sealants instead of grout at movement joints, perimeter joints, and changes of plane where expansion, contraction, and substrate movement may occur.

Selecting the Right Sealant or Caulk

Selecting the correct sealant depends on moisture exposure, joint movement, substrate material, application location, curing requirements, and compatibility with waterproofing systems or surrounding materials.
