The sealant plays a central role in many DIY projects and professional painting work. It is used to seal joints, fill cracks and create a smooth transition between materials such as walls, ceilings, windows and skirting boards. The choice of sealant depends on where it will be used and the materials that need to be joined. In this article, you will find an overview of the most common types of sealants, their properties and areas of use, so that you can choose the right solution for your project.

The article presents a wide range of sealants that cover various needs – from flexible silicone sealants to paintable acrylic sealants and special products for wet areas. The aim is to provide an overview of the functions, properties and possible uses, to help you more easily find the type that best suits your purpose. The product descriptions are based on publicly available information from manufacturers and distributors, summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.

Factors to consider when buying sealant

When choosing a sealant, it is important to consider the type of material, the environment and the desired aesthetic result. Here are some of the most important factors to take into account.

1. Area of use

Choose the sealant according to where it will be used. For indoor use and painting work, acrylic sealant is often the best choice, while silicone sealant is suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and other damp environments. For outdoor use, the sealant must have high resistance to weather and UV rays.

2. Elasticity and movement

Sealants are often subjected to movement when materials expand and contract. An elastic sealant can follow these movements without cracking. Silicone and hybrid sealants are particularly good for areas with large movements, while acrylic sealants are more suitable for stable surfaces.

3. Paintability

If the sealant needs to be painted, it is important to choose a type that allows this. Acrylic sealants can usually be painted, while silicone ones cannot. Hybrid sealants can sometimes be painted, but it depends on the product.

4. Curing time and working time

Some sealants cure quickly, which can be an advantage for small repairs but a disadvantage for larger projects. Consider how much working time you need before the sealant starts to set.

5. Colour and finish

Sealants are available in a wide range of colours and gloss levels. Choose a colour that matches the surroundings or a neutral shade such as white, grey or transparent, depending on the desired appearance.

Different types of sealants

There are many types of sealants, each with its own strengths and areas of use. The most common ones are presented below.

1. Acrylic sealant

Acrylic sealant is popular for indoor use, especially in painting work. It can be easily smoothed, painted and adheres well to porous surfaces such as plaster, wood and concrete. However, it is less elastic than silicone and should not be used in damp areas.

2. Silicone sealant

Silicone sealant is ideal for wet areas, windows and doors, where high elasticity and water tightness are required. It withstands large movements and moisture but cannot be painted. It is available in a variety of colours and variants, including sanitary and construction silicone.

3. Hybrid sealant (MS polymer)

Hybrid sealants combine the properties of silicone and polyurethane. They are elastic, durable and, in many cases, can be painted. They are often used for both indoor and outdoor work, where flexibility and durability are required.

4. Polyurethane sealant

Polyurethane sealants are very durable and suitable for industrial and outdoor applications. They adhere well to many materials and withstand mechanical stress, but require more experience in application than acrylic and silicone.

5. Butyl sealant

Butyl sealants are mainly used for sealing joints in roofs, façades and ventilation systems. They cannot be painted but have good adhesion and sealing capacity, especially against air and water vapour.

Different brands of sealants

Frequently asked questions

What is sealant used for?

Sealant is used to seal joints, fill cracks and create a smooth transition between materials. It protects against moisture, dust and movement and contributes to an aesthetic and durable result.

Can sealant be painted?

Yes, but only certain types. Acrylic sealants can usually be painted, while silicone ones cannot. Hybrid sealants can sometimes be painted – always check the manufacturer's instructions.

How long does a sealant last?

Durability depends on the type and environment. Indoor acrylic sealants can last for many years, while silicone sealants for wet areas should usually be replaced after 5–10 years to maintain tightness and appearance.

How to remove old sealant?

Use a sealant knife or a special tool to cut and remove the old sealant. Clean the area thoroughly before applying the new sealant to ensure optimal adhesion.

What does it mean that a sealant is elastic?

Elasticity means that the sealant can stretch and move together with the materials without cracking. It is important in areas where temperature and humidity vary.
