When it comes to finding the best caulk, it’s important to consider longevity. Most caulking mistakes occur when the product dries out, revealing cracks and imperfections that moisture can enter. A good, flexible caulk like Big Stretch keeps its shape when the conditions around it expand and contract, meaning fewer cracks and touchups.
Despite latex caulk being typically less flexible than other caulks, Sashco achieved tremendous flexibility with its latex-based Big Stretch—without the addition of silicone. Not only does it last for years, but it stretches up to 500% of its original size, making it perfect for foundation cracks and other areas that see extreme temperature changes. That’s impressive!
Pros
- Stretches up to 500% its original size
- Won’t crack from shifting
- Paintable and stainable
- Moisture- and mildew-resistant
