PROJECT TIPS PRODUCT SUPPORT WHERE TO BUY

 Do you have an energy crisis in your home?  You could.  According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 25-40% of the energy used for heating and cooling a home is lost through tiny holes and cracks.  Home sealing is an easy, and relatively inexpensive, way to save energy and money.  The average family with an annual $2,500 energy bill can save $500!  Close to one in ten Americans believe home sealing can cost as much as $1,000, but for less than $20, the cost of enough silicone to seal the average home, consumers can save substantially on their heating costs.

GE makes a variety of innovative caulks and sealants that can reduce air leaks and prepare your home for the upcoming winter months.  GE Silicone II is the best seal against water and the elements and is easy enough for the average do-it-yourselfers.  Silicone does not shrink or crack, and it moves as a home expands and contracts with the temperature.  

In addition, GE Silicone II XST is a paintable silicone that combines the superior performance of silicone and the paintability of an acrylic.  It also contains BioSeal, a proprietary additive that inhibits mold growth on sealants, prevents possible health complications and damage to your home. It can be used around sinks, tubs and other places where water is commonly found. It helps inhibit mold growth so that odor, discoloration and potential health risks are no longer a concern.
