Caulking is a major component of maintenance. Besides ensuring airtight seals, it also provides your windows and doors with maximum waterproofing. Moreover, it improves energy efficiency during the summer as well as mid-winter. Learn more about the caulking benefits for residential or commercial buildings below.
Windows and Doors are well insulated when sealed properly. However, they are constantly exposed to bad weather, shifts in weather forecasts and temperatures variations. Consequence: dried up seal. When the seal is dry, cracked or peeling off, it becomes an open door to air and water infiltrations.
Caulking can rectify the issue. Allowing for the optimal performance and energy efficiency of your windows and doors while avoiding unpleasant surprises. Therefore, think of calling for Basco Windows and Doors professionals to regularly inspect your seals.

Your home is a lifetime investment.
Therefore, wanting to care for it is understandable. Caulking is a good place to start. When your windows and doors are sealed properly, it prevents damp and cold air from entering your home. It ensures your comfort and that’s not all.
In fact, humid air may gradually cause invisible damage to your home. Water infiltration may show 3 different destructive signs:
Mushrooms
Mildew

COMMERCIAL CAULKING BENEFITS
Either for a business or co-ownership, caulking may prove to be a wise investment. Just as for a residence, proper caulking protects your investment. However, there are far more benefits:
