Caulking Instructions
Architectural Mall, Inc. does not provide any express or implied warranties on caulking materials. Based on our experience, BASF’s ‘MasterSeal NP 1 Sealant and TX 1’ work well for Synthetic Stone installations (non-painted applications). These caulks closely match several of our standard colors. Please note, MasterSeal is now branded as SIKA. The main difference between NP 1 and TX 1 is that TX 1 has a textured finish, resembling chinking. We do not make any specific recommendations for chinking products
For fiberglass Column or paint-grade column installation and polyurethane balustrade installations, follow our installation instructions for caulking/adhesive advise
