Sealed with a (Healthy) Kiss
Today’s nontoxic caulks, adhesives and sealants are safer for DIYers.
Not long ago, our choice of caulks, sealants and adhesives was pretty limited—and pretty toxic. Today, increased interest in tighter structures, better indoor air quality and energy conservation has led to the development of less-hazardous versions of these products. Manufacturers are finding ways to reduce and eliminate the harmful chemicals that caulks, sealants and adhesives once contained—without reducing performance.
Typically, these newer, greener products cost roughly the same as the premium versions of their traditional counterparts. The products are relatively free from harmful chemicals and easy for anyone to use—and they can help make your home quieter, more efficient and less toxic.
