Siding
The choice of sealants is critical for contractors installing exterior siding and trim. Exterior cladding is the home’s primary moisture barrier and properly sealed joints allow it to effectively deflect water away from the wall structure. Traditional painter’s caulk and acrylic latex sealants shrink excessively during the curing process and pull away from critical bond lines, creating leak points. Acrylic latex caulks and low-grade polyurethane sealants lack strong adhesive power and the necessary flexibility to stay bonded and effectively prevent leaks.
RainBuster products provide contractors the ability to permanently seal cracks, joints and seams in exterior cladding, siding, fascia, and trim. RainBuster sealants flex and stay bonded when subjected to substrate expansion and contraction and other structural movement. They have been specifically designed to maintain a watertight seal where surfaces move and harsh weather exists. RainBuster sealants are paintable.
