Weatherproofing Your Home for Winter

Winter has arrived, but is your home ready for the inclement weather to come?

Learn more about all of our ecofriendly products below.

Foundation

Safecoat® DynoSeal is perfect for creating a vapor barrier against moisture on below-grade foundations. This low-odor, all-weather coating and sealer remains flexible for years, and is highly resistant to flame spread and temperature change. It can also be used on seamless roofs and as a deck coating or an underlayment for shower stalls, pools, tubs and saunas.

Windows

Make sure your windows are properly sealed – both inside and out – with Safecoat® Caulking Compound. This nontoxic and flexible caulking compound provides a water-proof, easy-to-install sealant with excellent initial and permanent adhesion. It was designed to replace oil caulk and putty for windows, tub and shower enclosures and general maintenance, and will not dry out or crack! It also will not release any solvents or harsh odors, making it ideal for those with chemical sensitivities.

Air Ducts

Ideal for new or old heating and air conditioning ducts, Safecoat® DynoFlex Textured Natural is a water-based, low-odor, paste-like compound that can be used to seal seams, joints and cracks, or for repairing metal roofs and asphalt shingles – making all highly resistant to harsh weather and temperature changes. It is also available in a sprayable form that can be used over Safecoat® DynoSeal as a topcoat for roofs and decks.

Roofs

To protect your roof from the elements, try Safecoat® RoofGuard! This water-based, nontoxic coating is ideal for properly primed roofs made of synthetic plastic rubber, metal, concrete or clay tile. Both mildew and water resistant, it has excellent bridging quality and can be used to patch, seal and bridge hairline cracks.
