Product Overview:

The Everbuild 175 Universal Flexible Acrylic Sealant is a premium-quality, multi-purpose decorator’s caulk designed to seal gaps, cracks, and joints quickly and effectively. Available in White and Brown, this high-performance acrylic sealant delivers a smooth, professional finish every time — ideal for painters, decorators, and DIY users alike.

Formulated for superior adhesion and long-term flexibility, Everbuild 175 bonds effortlessly to materials such as plaster, wood, brick, concrete, metal, and PVCu. Once cured, it remains permanently flexible to accommodate natural movement, preventing cracking and shrinking over time. Its quick-drying, over-paintable formula allows you to finish your decorating projects faster — making it the go-to sealant for interior and exterior use around windows, doors, skirting boards, and general filling work.

FAQs – Everbuild 175 Universal Flexible Acrylic Sealant

• What makes this sealant ideal for decorators?
  The quick-drying, paintable formula allows decorators to fill and seal before painting or wallpapering, providing a smooth, professional finish.

• Can it be used outdoors?
  Yes, it’s suitable for both internal and external use. For areas exposed to continuous water immersion (e.g. permanently wet surfaces), a dedicated waterproof sealant is recommended.

• Will it crack over time?
  No, the permanently flexible formulation allows for natural movement without cracking or shrinking.

• Can I apply it to damp surfaces?

  The sealant is typically ready for painting after 1–2 hours, depending on application thickness and ambient conditions.

• Is it easy to clean after use?
  Yes, simply clean tools and excess sealant with warm soapy water before it dries.
