Choosing a sealant for the bathroom
How many brands of sealant present on the building materials market today can be used when carrying out renovation work in the bathroom?
Not so much. This is due to the specific microclimate of this room: high humidity, the risk of fungi and mold. Such factors require the use of materials for sealing seams, sealing cracks, which not only would not be afraid of high humidity in the bathroom, but, thanks to their properties, could fight various types of fungi and mold, and would not lose their properties when the temperature changes. The bathroom always has its “weak points”: the joint between the bathtub and the wall, the junction of the shower stall and the tiles on the wall, in the contact areas
screens to the sides of the bathtub, at the junction of the elements of the border, baseboard and tiles, corner. In fact, it is a haven for mold and mildew. If such areas are not sealed, there is a double risk: water that penetrates inside will destroy walls, spoil finishing materials, and dangerous microflora can easily reach people taking a bath, shower, or using the bathroom.
That is why the question arises: what sealant should you use in order not to put your home and the health of those living in it at risk, and to protect them from the harmful effects of fungus and mold?
