Sealants – a beginner’s guide to selection and use


Sealants – a beginner’s guide to selection and use


Sealant plays a crucial role when you need to seal joints, fill cracks or create a clean transition between materials. Whether you are working in the bathroom, kitchen or outdoors, there is a suitable sealant for the job. But with so many types and brands on the market, it can be difficult to choose the right one.
In this guide, you will get an overview of the most important considerations when buying a sealant, as well as an introduction to the most common types and brands.
The article presents a wide range of sealants covering different applications – from interior sealing around windows and doors to exterior sealing of façades and roofs. The purpose is to provide an overview of the properties, areas of use and price levels, so that you can more easily find the type that 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 is important to take into account the type of material, the environment and the aesthetics. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.
1. Area of use
First and foremost, you should choose a sealant that suits the place where it will be used. Sealants for damp areas must be resistant to moisture and mould, while exterior joints must withstand temperature fluctuations and UV light. For interior use, for example around skirting boards and frames, you can choose a more flexible and paintable type.
2. Material compatibility
Not all sealants adhere equally well to all materials. Silicone, for example, is suitable for smooth surfaces such as tiles and glass, while acrylic is often used on porous materials such as wood and plaster. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper adhesion.
3. Elasticity and movement
Building components move over time, so the elasticity of the joint is important. An elastic sealant can absorb movement without cracking. Silicone and polyurethane are usually more flexible than acrylic and cement-based joints.
4. Colour and finish
Sealants come in many colours, so you can choose one that matches the surface or creates contrast. In visible areas, the colour can have a big impact on the aesthetic result. Some types can be painted, providing additional flexibility in design.
5. Durability and maintenance
Consider how long the joint should last and how much maintenance you are willing to do. Silicone joints usually last longer than acrylic ones, but can be more difficult to repair. Regular cleaning and inspection for cracks extend the service life of the joint.

Different types of sealants
There are many types of sealants, each with specific properties and areas of use. Here we go through the most common ones.
1. Silicone sealant
Silicone is one of the most commonly used types, especially in damp areas and around windows. It is water-repellent, flexible and mould-resistant. However, silicone joints cannot be painted, and leftover material can be difficult to remove.
2. Acrylic sealant
Acrylic is suitable for indoor use where there is no constant moisture. It can be painted and provides a smooth finish, making it popular for frames, skirting boards and wall cracks. However, acrylic is less elastic and should not be used outdoors.
3. Polyurethane (PU) sealant
PU sealants are very strong and flexible, making them ideal for outdoor use and areas with large movements, for example between concrete and metal. They adhere well to many surfaces and resist both sun and frost.
4. MS polymer sealant
MS polymer combines properties of both silicone and PU. It is flexible, can be painted and adheres to most materials without primer. This type is often used as a versatile solution both indoors and outdoors.
5. Cement-based sealant
Cement-based joints are mainly used for tiling, for example between floor and wall tiles. They are hard and durable, but not flexible, so they should not be used in joints with movement.
Different brands of sealants
The sealant market includes many manufacturers, each with its own focus areas and specialities.
Dana Lim
Dana Lim is a Danish brand with a wide range of sealants for both professionals and DIYers. The range covers everything from classic silicone joints to advanced MS polymer products.
Bostik
Bostik offers sealants for both construction and industry. The brand is known for its high quality and products that combine flexibility with strong adhesion. They have solutions for both indoor and outdoor use.
Sika
Sika produces professional sealants, especially for demanding tasks such as concrete joints and façades. Their products are known for their high durability and resistance to weather and chemicals.
Casco
Casco focuses on easy-to-use products for the DIY market. Their sealants are easy to apply and come in many variants, including silicone, acrylic and hybrid joints.
Pattex
Pattex, owned by Henkel, offers a wide range of sealants for both domestic and professional use. The products are easy to use and come in many colours and types for different purposes.
Frequently asked questions
What is sealant used for?
Sealant is used to seal joints, fill cracks and prevent water, air or dirt from penetrating. It creates both a functional and aesthetic finish between materials.
Can you paint over sealant?
It depends on the type. Acrylic and MS polymer sealants can generally be painted, while silicone cannot. If you want to paint, choose a type labelled as paintable.
How long does a sealant last?
The service life varies depending on the type, load and environment. Indoor acrylic joints can last for many years, while silicone joints in damp areas often need to be replaced after 5 to 10 years.
How do you remove old sealant?
Old sealant can be removed with a joint knife or a special tool. Silicone can be dissolved with a joint cleaner, while acrylic can often be scraped off mechanically. Make sure the surface is clean before applying a new joint.
Which sealant should I choose for the bathroom?
For bathrooms, a silicone sealant that is resistant to moisture and mould is recommended. Choose a type labelled as suitable for damp areas.
