Hi,

Whats the best sealant to use internally to put round UPVC windows in a bathroom?

The bathroom window is tiled all the way round it so there will be no painting and i would like to apply the best and correct type of sealant around the window inside.

I have looked at Bathroom silicone sealant and it says no to UPVC, the only one i could find that has a tick for UPVC is Unibond Internal water based sealant.

is this the best?

What would you recommend?

Thanks

Bathroom silicone is High Modulous. This is ideal for the tiled side of the joint but is not suitable for the upvc window as that should be low mod for more accomadation of movement. So there you have it ......a bit of an oxy moron :LOL: In my own house with the same detail I have used Dow Corning 785. It has the fungicide in it and does not yellow. Hasn`t broke away from window or damaged it at all.
