Elite Sealant To The Rescue

Due to the drastic recent industry increase in build schedules, main contractors are not always able to meet strict schedules for their current suppliers.

As a result, during November, award-winning, national house builder Miller Homes approached Elite Sealant with a problem; a site contractor was unable to complete their sealant needs within the agreed upon deadlines.

With over 80 years' experience building high quality family houses, Miller Homes have exacting standards and know the importance of meeting deadlines to ensure a project is completed on time.

With an awareness of our comprehensive skill set that is able to support the requirement for additional firepower, Miller Homes did not hesitate to contact Elite Sealant and our problem solving team of project managers.

Due to our operations being specifically configured to meet the challenges of national house builders, coupled with our large operative workforce, we were able to ensure the sealant work for Miller Homes was completed without causing any delay or disruption to our existing schedule.

Elite Sealant Managing Director, Andrew Orme commented, "We are proud of our ongoing relationship with Miller Homes which goes back some 20 years, When the call was received from Richard Culpan (Director Miller Homes) we rescheduled our diary to assist."

If you're struggling to keep pace with your mastic sealant schedules and require additional assistance don't hesitate to contact our friendly team today.

Sealant Selection

The correct application of a sealant involves more than simply choosing a material with appropriate physical and chemical properties, but also having a good insight into joint design, substrates to be sealed, performance needed, and of course the economic costs involved in the installation and maintenance of a joint sealant.

General considerations for selecting a sealant type for use in the construction industry whether for residential or commercial are the same:

Joint Design: The specification of a joint design must match up with a sealant's movement capabilities for the installed conditions. The practicality of installation of the sealant and other joint elements and the desired aesthetic appearance are also a consideration.

Physical and Chemical Properties: Properties of the sealant such as, modulus of elasticity, its stress/strain recovery characteristics, tear strength, and fatigue resistance are all factors that influence sealant performance in a joint. The sealant polymeric type along with additives such as fillers and plasticizers will affect the performance of the product.

Durability Properties: The adhesion of a sealant to a specific substrate(s) and its aging characteristics as they relate to resistance to among others ultra-violet radiation, moisture, temperature, cyclic joint movement, movement during curing, and bio-degradation can profoundly influence the service life of the installed sealant.

Application/Installation Properties : Important considerations include the consistency of the sealant (pourable or gunnable), pot life and tooling time, tack free time, application temperature range, and low temperature "gunnability" (i.e. ability to be dispensed easily by sealant gun). Sealants used for interior applications, even in high-rise or light commercial structures, will have properties and needs different from those used in other applications, such as structural sealant glazing or exterior building facade seals.
