What is a sanitary silicone?
A silicone formulated for wet, hygienic areas, with a fungicide to resist mould and staining on tiles, ceramics and sanitary ware. S3 is a low-maintenance sanitary grade for bathrooms and kitchens.
How is S3 different from Xtreme?
Both are anti-mould sanitary silicones. S3 is fungal resistant for everyday bathroom and kitchen sealing; Xtreme carries a longer guarantee (mould-free up to 10 years) for heavy wet areas. Choose Xtreme for the worst condensation and shower trays.
Why does black mould keep returning on my old sealant?
Usually because mould was sealed in underneath, or a non-sanitary sealant was used. Strip the old bead fully (our De-Bond helps), dry the joint, then reseal with S3 or Xtreme.
Which colour for a bathroom?
White and clear are the most common; ivory suits cream or stone-coloured suites and worktops.
What surfaces does it stick to?
Tiles, ceramics and most sanitary ware. Make sure they are clean, dry and grease free first.
Single or box of 25?
Buy one cartridge for a single bathroom, or the trade box of 25 for regular sanitary work.
