Traditionally and in Modern Times

In this article, we’ll talk about the importance of caulking windows and discuss when it’s time to do so. We will also provide you with a guide for how to caulk your windows traditionally and in modern times.

Caulk is an important part of any home maintenance regimen because it seals out air which can cause moisture damage to the wood frames or siding on the exterior of a house (or apartment). It also prevents water from penetrating through cracks in window casings.

But caulk is not the answer for every sealing need. For example, if you have a brick home with no wood siding or windows on the exterior of your building than caulking isn’t going to provide any help in preventing moisture damage (though it will still offer some protection from water penetration).

Traditional Caulk: As an option when working around older homes that are made of natural materials like brick and stone, you can apply traditional white acrylic latex sealant by hand using a putty knife as needed. This type of tool helps create uniform coverage where other types may leave gaps. To ensure it adheres properly use weatherstripping tape along doorjambs and window casings then let dry overnight before painting over with special product.

Modern Caulk: For a more modern application, an acrylic latex sealant is applied to the exterior of your windows and doors before installation. This type of adhesive helps prevent water from seeping through gaps in trim or cracks that may otherwise allow it to penetrate and cause damage inside your home. It also helps keep out air pollutants like drywall dust as well.”

Caulking Between Two Windows With Spacing: When installing new window units with some space between them you can apply traditional caulking by hand using a putty knife. Be sure not to leave any gap on either side where moisture could enter.
