Before & After
Caulking your skirts and stairs has some great benefits to your home. When left unsealed you will not get that completely finished look to your home. With inconsistent gaps that vary across your skirting or stair perimeter. As you can see below, A nice clean bead of silicone gives your stairs the finished look that can’t be replicated by painters using no more gaps.
Time and time again we see builders and clients opt to have their painters no more gaps these joints at plaster stage and then paint to the stair as a finish. Here are some negatives you might not know when choosing this route.
Something we do when caulking skirts to floorboards only, is we match the silicone colour to the floor. What this does is create a seamless finish where you can’t almost even tell that the joints have been caulked. When these joints are caulked in white, they look great at first, but over time this is where dust will most likely gather, and it will stand out above the white silicone & look dirty. This does not happen when the silicone is matched to the floor colour.
With the huge range of silicone colour available nowadays it is likely we can match your floorboards, only when it cant be matched to the floor do we use white. Only as last resort!
