Cracks round window frame: which sealant?

Jan 27, 2005 2 Replies

Stripping the wallpaper in the kitchen has revealed cracks between the window frame and brickwork/plaster.



Is it best to seal these cracks or just wallpaper over them? What type of sealant to use -- a look on screwfix.com shows silicone sealant, frame sealant etc.

I would use decorator's caulk which is available in tubes similar to other sealants.

Decorators caulk if you want to paint over. If it really is in the corner and will be the finished surface Silicon will look ok - either transparent or white and you want 'Low Modulus' (LMA) which should reamin flexible even when it gets cold - as it will!
