Stops heated & cooled air from escaping

• Air leaking through tiny holes & cracks accounts for 25 to 40 percent of the energy used to heat & cool a typical home, according to the EPA.

• Sealing a home with GE silicones stops leaking air, improving energy efficiency.

A sealed home reduces less greenhouse gas pollution

• Energy used at home accounts for about ONE-FIFTH of the US global warming pollution.

• Sealing & weatherstripping reduces greenhouse gas pollution released into the environment - a greater reduction than changing 6 light bulbs to CFLs.

Low VOC

• GE silicones are low VOC.

Recycled Packaging

• GE strives to ensure sustainable or partially recycled materials are used in packaging when possible.

Silicone caulk lasts a lifetime - be sure to use silicone & not acrylic!

• Lasts a lifetime, so the job only has to be done once, which means less waste.

• Won't shrink or crack, meaning you'll have a waterproof & airtight seal.   Acrylics shrink up to 25% -- whether it's over a few weeks or a few years - leaving gaps for air and water to leak through.

• Won't break down in water, freezing cold or blistering sun like acrylic does - so no air gets through.

1. Locate the sources of leaks in your home.   You can use lighted incense sticks to locate the source of leaks. Air drafts will cause the plume of smoke to waver or flow in the direction of air leakage. Alternatively, you can use your dampened hand to feel drafts of air.

2. Purchase enough GE silicone caulk for the job at hand.   On average, a home can be sealed with four tubes of GE silicone.  

3. Remove the existing caulk with a removing tool.   Before caulking, clean the surface with a household cleaner, rubbing alcohol or a wire brush, and wipe with a clean cloth.   Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free of soap, grease, dirt and dust.

4. For a straight edge, use masking tape on each side of the joint; remove immediately after applying the caulk.

5. Remove the cap and cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the desired bead size.

6. Pierce the inner seal with a stiff wire or similar object.

7. Insert the cartridge into a caulk gun.

8. Push the caulk out of the tube.

9. Smooth or tool the bead as necessary.

10. To store, reseal the cap.

11. If painting, use GE Silicone II XST Paintable formula.

12. Use mineral spirits for proper clean-up of silicone caulk.

A more energy efficient home reduces the amount of greenhouse gases released into the environment, helping to slow down global warming.   Looking to take action?   We have a couple of suggested actions below that will help to save energy...and the environment!
