If you’re undergoing bathroom renovations or you’re building a brand new house, it’s important that you ensure your shower is properly sealed. We’ve heard the question so many times – why do I need to seal my shower? Well, we’ll answer just that!
Showers that aren’t sealed properly or not sealed at all can end up being a big problem that’s quite expensive to fix. Damages that may arise if your shower isn’t sealed or not sealed properly include the following:
If your shower isn’t sealed properly and your bathroom is consistently damp, it won’t be a surprise if you begin to see mould growth. Mould produces particles called spores which are carried into the air. These spores may cause health problems if inhaled. These include but are not limited to eye and skin irritation, wheezing, running nose or blocked nose. It’s important to seal your shower to avoid any of these health problems that may arise from mould growth and mildew.
If you’re worried that your shower isn’t sealed properly, here’s a guide to assess the work:
If your tiles aren’t grouted properly, you will find holes in your grout, crumbling grout, decaying grout and cracking in the grout. This can affect the proper sealing of your shower.
Any area in your bathroom that has a joint should be properly siliconed. This ensures that there are no cracks when there are any structural movements. If there isn’t silicone in the corner of your showers or the silicone is peeling or weakening, your shower isn’t sealed properly. It is important that your shower screen is also siliconed well. If not, it could lead to mould and decaying of the shower screen.
A properly sealed shower ensures that the tapware and fixings are all silicone sealed where any tile or waterproofing membrane is opened. If water enters these openings, it will lead to water damage.
If you’re worried that your shower isn’t sealed or completed properly, it is important to give your local expert shower sealer a call to fix the problem before it leads to an abundance of bigger problems.
