Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Share your contractor requirements early
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
