Adhesive Sealants & Foam

Adhesives are designed to bond materials together, while sealants are used to fill gaps and create waterproof or airtight barriers. Some products can perform both functions depending on the application.

Expanding foam is commonly used to fill gaps, cracks and voids around windows, doors, pipes and other openings. It can help improve insulation, reduce drafts and prevent moisture intrusion.

Silicone sealant is widely used for waterproofing bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and exterior joints. It provides a flexible seal that can withstand moisture and weather exposure.

PVC cement is used to permanently join PVC pipes and fittings in plumbing, irrigation and drainage systems.

Yes. Many sealants are specifically designed for exterior use and can withstand rain, sunlight, temperature changes and other environmental conditions.

Construction adhesives are designed for heavy-duty bonding of materials such as wood, concrete, drywall, metal and masonry. The best product depends on the materials being joined and the project requirements.

Expanding foam is excellent for filling gaps and improving insulation, but it is not always the best solution for active water leaks. For waterproofing applications, a dedicated sealant or waterproofing product may be more appropriate.

Some sealants are paintable, while others—particularly many silicone-based products—are not. Always check the product label or specifications before painting to ensure proper adhesion and a professional finish.
