Sealant is an important part of many DIY projects and professional painting work. It is used to seal joints, fill cracks and create neat transitions between different materials such as walls, ceilings, windows and doors. But with many types and brands on the market, it can be difficult to choose the right sealant for your project.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a sealant, and which types and brands are available, so you can find the solution that best suits your needs.

The article presents a selection of sealants that cover various applications – from indoor acrylic sealants to outdoor silicone and hybrid sealants. The goal is to provide an overview of properties, areas of use and price ranges, so that you can more easily assess which type suits your project. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.

Factors to consider when buying sealant

When choosing a sealant, it’s important to consider both the material, location and movement in the joint. Here are some of the most important factors to take into account.

1. Area of use

Start by considering where the joint will be used. Indoor joints around skirting boards and frames usually require an acrylic sealant, while joints in bathrooms or outdoors should be silicone- or hybrid-based to withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations.

2. Elasticity and movement

The elasticity of the sealant determines how well it can follow movements in the materials. In areas where expansion or contraction may occur, you should choose an elastic sealant that won’t crack or come loose over time.

3. Paintability

If you plan to paint over the joint, you must choose a paintable type – usually acrylic. Silicone sealants generally cannot be painted, but are available in many colours so they can match their surroundings.

4. Durability and maintenance

Outdoor joints are exposed to sun, rain and frost, and here UV and weather resistance are crucial. Indoor joints should be easy to clean and resistant to mould, especially in damp rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens.

5. Price and quality

The price depends on the type and properties of the sealant. Cheaper products may be sufficient for small projects, while more expensive variants often have better adhesion, longer durability and higher elasticity.

Different types of sealants

There are several types of sealants, each with their own strengths and areas of use. The choice depends on where and how the joint will be used.

1. Acrylic sealant

Acrylic sealant is suitable for indoor use, especially around skirting boards, frames and ceilings. It is easy to work with, can be painted over and gives a neat result. However, it should not be used in damp areas, as it is not waterproof.

2. Silicone sealant

Silicone sealants are elastic and water-repellent, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor use. They come in many colours but generally cannot be painted. Silicone also has good resistance to mould and UV radiation.

3. Hybrid sealant (MS polymer)

Hybrid sealants combine the properties of acrylic and silicone. They are both elastic, strong and often paintable. This type is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is often used in construction projects where high durability is required.

4. Polyurethane sealant

Polyurethane sealants are usually used in industry or in larger constructions where extra strength and flexibility are required. They adhere well to many materials and can withstand large movements, but often require more experience to work with.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between acrylic and silicone sealant?

Acrylic sealant can be painted and is mainly used indoors, while silicone sealant is more elastic and waterproof, making it ideal for damp rooms and outdoor use.

Can you paint over sealant?

Yes, but only certain types. Acrylic and some hybrid sealants can be painted, while silicone usually cannot. If you want a coloured silicone sealant, you should choose a variant in the desired colour.

How long does a sealant last?

The durability depends on the type and environment. Indoor acrylic sealants can last for many years, while outdoor silicone sealants usually need to be replaced after 5–10 years, depending on weather conditions.

How do you prevent the sealant from cracking?

To avoid cracking, you should choose a sealant with suitable elasticity for the materials and ensure that the joint is applied correctly – neither too thin nor too thick – and on clean, dry surfaces.

How do you remove old sealant?

Old sealant can be removed with a sealant knife or a special solvent. Make sure to remove all residue before applying new sealant to ensure optimal adhesion.
