Whether you’re renovating your kitchen, renovating your bathroom, fixing shelving, or doing general maintenance around your home, there is a Sika sealant or adhesive to help make your job easier.
Sika’s main categories under sealants and adhesives are joint sealants and elastic adhesives.
Movement & Expansion Joint Sealants
Despite the fact that joint sealants are only a very small part of the overall cost of a construction project, they play an absolutely crucial part in keeping a building air and watertight, in order to prevent serious damage and a loss of thermal insulation. The right joint sealant selection is also critical to maintain this function over the whole service life of the structure.
Within a construction project there are many different types of joints that require efficient watertight sealing, including all of the isolation, sanitary, construction and movement or expansion joints in the facade and throughout the structure.

Sanitary Joint Sealant
Sealing – is one of the most important jobs in waterproofing your bathroom or kitchen.
A well-sealed bathroom and kitchen prevents mould, leaks and water damage to your cabinets.
Sanisil® is a flexible, anti-fungal, moisture-curing silicone sealant suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
Silicones are often filled with fillers to make them cheaper and the result of this is that they shrink when exposed to heat, as in a bathroom or shower. Cheaper silicones also do not always have good fungal inhibitor properties and end up going black fairly quickly. Benefits of Sanisil® is the long term fungus and mildew resistance.
Ask for Sika® Sanisil® if you are looking for an antifungal sealant for sanitary applications.
When sealing surfaces in your bathroom, opting for an antifungal sealant is the best choice. Sika offers Sika® Sanisil® as a premium quality, antifungal sealant that works quickly and effectively, with high elasticity and flexibility.

Elastic Adhesives
Why do elastic adhesives lead to a more powerful bond compared to mechanical fixing around the house?
You may have heard that elastic adhesives can create more powerful bonds than mechanical ones. So, why is this?
Well, the first reason is that elastic adhesives have a widely distributed adhesive surface, allowing the load to be distributed.
Mechanical fixing can penetrate into the object but using elastic adhesives means that you use fewer tools, cleaning up is much easier, and there is no initial fixing - no more nails. With mechanical fixing, you risk damaging the object and the nails corroding over time.
In contrast, elastic adhesives do not damage the object and allow you to create an adhesive surface, even on uneven surfaces. Using elastic adhesives also ensures that there is no humidity between objects.
