Today is all about the color of shamrocks, not to mention good luck; it’s St. Patrick’s Day. In addition to wearing green, effectively avoiding being pinched, you can help the environment and save money by reducing air leakage when you invest in window sealant.
When professionally installed, window sealant resists air and moisture leakage, offering several substantial benefits. These include improving the building’s energy efficiency, defending against bugs, and providing a moisture barrier.
Key Benefits
Energy Efficiency
Your building’s windows are one of the most significant sources of energy loss. According to ENERGY STAR, an adequately sealed envelope can make a substantial difference in the amount you spend on heating and cooling costs, as it prevents the building’s conditioned air from uncontrollably flowing out through gaps around the frames. Additional benefits here include enhancing occupant comfort and improving indoor air quality (IAQ).
Preventing Moisture Damage
Another advantage of having window sealant installed by professional sealant contractors is the material’s waterproofing properties. The sealant is an excellent moisture barrier. It will protect against water seepage and condensation while subsequently resisting mold and mildew growth. It can also effectively prevent dust, especially important during Arizona’s Monsoon Season, and bugs from entering the building.
Selecting Window Sealant
Window sealant can be applied around the residential home, multi-family unit, and commercial property windows. The materials used may vary in each of these applications. That is why selecting the correct sealants is vital for ensuring compatibility, particularly since good adhesion is essential for project success.
