Quick Fix for Gaps Around Doors and Windows
When it comes to keeping your home energy-efficient, draught-free, and looking neat, sealing the gaps around external doors and windows is an easy but essential step. At FixTrade.co.uk, we know how frustrating unwanted gaps can be, especially when cold air creeps in or rain starts finding its way through. That’s why we always recommend our trusted Window & Door External Frame Sealant 290ml Brown as the go-to solution for quick, effective gap repairs.
Whether you're a DIYer working on a weekend project or a professional installer looking for a reliable, overpaintable sealant, this EverBuild sealant delivers on both performance and price.
Window & Door External Frame Sealant: The Perfect DIY Companion
Sealing gaps around doors and windows doesn’t need to be complicated. With our Sika 290ml Brown External Frame Sealant, you're getting a product that’s:
• Permanently flexible
• Mould resistant
• Adheres to most surfaces
• Over-paintable once cured
• Suitable for use between +4°C to +40°C
This makes it ideal for year-round application, both for interior jobs and, most importantly, for external frames exposed to the elements.
Why Brown Sealant? A Better Match for Timber & Dark Frames
One of the standout benefits of this sealant is the brown colour, which blends discreetly with timber or darker-coloured window and door frames. Many homeowners overlook how visible a white or clear sealant can be, especially when used on heritage or natural wood finishes.
Using a Window & Door External Frame Sealant 290ml Brown offers not just a tight seal, but also a clean, professional finish that doesn't distract from your home’s exterior aesthetic.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Sealing Gaps Around Windows and Doors
You don’t need to be an expert to apply our Sika sealant. Here's a quick guide on how to get it right:
Step 1: Clean the Surface
Start by removing any loose material, dust, or grease from the area you’re sealing. A clean surface helps the sealant bond properly.
Step 2: Prepare the Sealant Tube
Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle for easier application. Attach the nozzle to the cartridge and load it into a standard caulking gun.
Step 3: Apply the Sealant
Slowly apply a steady bead of sealant along the joint or gap, keeping even pressure for a smooth finish.
Step 4: Smooth it Out
Use a wet finger or a sealant tool to smooth out the bead before it starts to skin over (typically within 15–30 minutes).
Step 5: Let it Cure
Allow the sealant to fully cure. Once cured, it becomes overpaintable, giving you the flexibility to match surrounding finishes if needed.
