Questions and Answers: FAQs

1. What makes Everbuild Everflex 225 White Silicone Sealant suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
The Everbuild Everflex 225 White Silicone Sealant is specifically formulated for high-humidity environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. Its fungicidal additive actively prevents mould and mildew growth, ensuring long-term cleanliness and hygiene. Additionally, its excellent adhesion to non-porous surfaces like tiles, glass, and metals ensures a durable and watertight seal, perfect for areas exposed to moisture, steam, and temperature fluctuations.

2. Can this sealant be painted over for colour matching?
No, the Everbuild Everflex 225 White Silicone Sealant is not paintable due to its silicone-based composition. However, its bright white finish is designed to blend seamlessly with most modern kitchen and bathroom designs. For applications requiring a paintable sealant, consider using an acrylic or hybrid alternative from Everbuild’s product range.

3. Is this sealant resistant to extreme temperatures or weather conditions?
Yes, the Everbuild Everflex 225 is highly resistant to temperature fluctuations and extreme weather conditions. It remains flexible and maintains its adhesion in both hot and cold environments, making it suitable for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and even outdoor applications such as gutter sealing and window frame glazing.

4. How long does the sealant take to cure, and when can it be exposed to water?
The sealant skins over within 15-30 minutes, depending on environmental conditions, and fully cures within 24-48 hours. It is recommended to avoid exposing the sealant to water during the curing period to ensure optimal adhesion and performance. After curing, it provides a robust, watertight seal suitable for wet environments.

5. Can the Everflex 225 White Silicone Sealant be used on natural stone surfaces?
While the Everflex 225 is suitable for many materials, it is not recommended for use on natural stone surfaces, as it may cause staining. For stone or porous surfaces, it is advisable to use a sealant specifically designed for compatibility with natural stone, such as Everbuild’s specialist sealant products.

6. What tools are needed for application, and how can I achieve a professional finish?
To apply the Everflex 225 White Silicone Sealant, you will need a standard caulking gun, a utility knife to cut the nozzle, and a smoothing tool for a clean finish. To achieve a professional result, ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the sealant. Run a consistent bead of sealant along the joint, and use a smoothing tool or damp finger to create an even finish before the sealant starts to cure. For best results, use masking tape along the edges to maintain clean lines and remove it immediately after tooling.
