Refresh your home with simple TKK solutions

Autumn is the time when nature changes colours and when we start feeling the need to refresh and prepare our living spaces for winter. We are not talking about major renovations, but about those smaller but important repairs that can significantly improve the comfort and appearance of your home. 

Refresh your home with simple TKK solutions

With the help of quality TKK products, you can quickly and effectively fix issues such as poorly sealed window sills, cracks in the plaster or problems with moisture. The following are some solutions that are suitable for both beginners and those with more experience in home repairs. With just a few simple steps, you will be able to create a more comfortable, functional and aesthetically perfect space in a short time and thus solve your problem.

Water pooling at the front door or window

Improper sealing of the front door using cement grout instead of elastic sealant can cause inconveniences, such as water ingress during heavy rains, which in turn leads to damage to the plaster on the inside. With the quality TKK SEAL Flexible joints wall sealant, you can easily prevent these problems and extend the life of your front doors and windows.

Proper sealing not only affects the aesthetic appearance, but also the energy efficiency of your home. With proper sealing, you can reduce heat loss and contribute to lower heating costs.

Water leaking behind the sink

In the kitchen and bathroom, the joints between the ceramic sink and the tiles are exposed to moisture, so it is important to seal them properly. TKK SEAL Classic silicone provides effective and long-lasting protection against water penetration and mould formation.

Regular use of silicone sealant keeps the joints fresh, which prevents unpleasant odours and thus increases the hygiene standard of the rooms of your home. It also ensures a long service life of surfaces and prevents possible damage due to moisture.

Black joints in the bathroom

The humid autumn months often accelerate the growth of mould in bathrooms, creating problems in many households. Mould is harmful to health and must be removed as soon as possible. In order to prevent the spread of black mould, it is important to regularly inspect and rehabilitate the joints in the bathroom (between the bathtub and the tiles, between the shower and the tiles). The products TKK SEAL All purpose silicone extra and Tekasil Color offer a reliable protection against moisture and keep rooms prone to moisture fresh in the long term.

By using the Tekasil Color sealant, which is available in a wide range of colour shades, you can fill the joints in the colour tone of your bathroom.

Damaged and black joints in damp rooms

In rooms where there is high humidity, joints are particularly exposed. In sanitary areas, such as bathrooms and large kitchens, we recommend the use of sealants with additives that prevent the formation of mould. TKK SEAL Flexible seal & bond is an excellent choice for sealing critical points such as the joints of floor coverings with drain shafts and installation lines. This hybrid sealant also contains an anti-mould additive and thus provides long-term protection in the most demanding conditions.

Cracks in the facade

Due to the effects of weather and the ageing of facades, cracks often appear on the exterior plasters, which can affect the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the building. TKK SEAL Facade & wall repair is an excellent solution for quick rehabilitation and aesthetic treatment, as it contains coarse particles that imitate the appearance of the facade. The compound can be repainted, so it blends perfectly with the existing plaster and your facade will look like new again. In case of major damage, we recommend more thorough rehabilitation using the neutral, hybrid sealant TKK SEAL Flexible joints wall.

Sealing windowsills

When installing windowsills on brick and concrete façades, it is important to properly seal the transition between the windowsill and the façade. The transition between the windowsill and the façade must be sealed in such a way as to prevent water ingress and thus possible damage. By using the polyurethane TKK PU FIX FAST FIXING ADHESIVE or the hybrid sealing compound TKK SEAL Flexible joints wall, you will be able to ensure a stable attachment that will withstand both temperature changes and mechanical loads and a long service life. The hybrid sealant TKK SEAL Flexible joints wall can be used to seal already installed windowsills.

Fixing wobbly wooden stairs

If your wooden stairs are wobbly or squeaky, they can be fixed quickly and easily applying quality TKK adhesives. The adhesives TKK FIX 12 and TKK PU FIX FAST FIXING ADHESIVE provide a strong and permanent bond that prevents further movement of the stairs and ensures safety in use. Proper fastening not only extends the service life of the stairs, but also improves their stability and aesthetic appearance.

Filling the space around pipes

Open holes around pipes or deep recesses can be a source of drafts and heat loss. By using polyurethane foams from the TKK PU FOAM line, you will quickly and easily fill these openings and at the same time ensure good insulation. TKK PU FOAM TOP FOAM is an ideal solution for filling smaller openings, while TKK PU FOAM INTERIOR DOOR EXPERT 2K is suitable for deeper recesses and wall insulation between doors. The advantage of the TKK PU FOAM INTERIOR DOOR EXPERT 2K foam is that the entire volume, regardless of depth, will harden in 45 minutes, irrespective of the humidity in the air.

Correct filling of these spaces is crucial for the energy efficiency of your home and for preventing condensation on the surface.

Regardless of whether you want to improve the functionality of your home or simply rejuvenate its appearance, TKK products are your reliable assistants in everyday repairs. They will help you to easily achieve professional results and extend the life of your home.
