Cracks & Joints

Cracks not only ruin the look of your home, they weaken structures and let the dampness in. Tackle trouble with cracks with our Smart Care range of waterproofing products. 

 

 

Fill Gaps/Joints Between Surfaces

In constructions, spaces need to be created to fit window frames, doors etc. If the space created is greater than the actual size of the fitting, it results in gaps. If not treated with an appropriate sealant, they may eventually cause waterproofing problems. Neutral silicone sealants like Unyversyl can be used for filling these gaps and joints.

Prevent Leakage Through Gaps & Joints which Requires Painting Over

Filled up gaps and joints are starkly visible if colour is not matched to the substrate. Since sealants come in limted colours, matching is an issue. Paintable sealants like Akrylmax help in overcoming this problem.
