Creating hygienic kitchens: The importance of a good kitchen sealant

To maintain a safe and healthy environment in the home, a hygienic kitchen is essential. One way to achieve this is by using a high-quality kitchen sealant. Here’s why using the right sealant is crucial, and how Unika’s range can help.

Preventing moisture and bacteria build-up

Joints and seams in kitchens are prone to moisture and bacteria build-up. Over time, even small gaps can harbour germs and lead to mould growth. A good sealant, like Unika’s 2 in 1 TopSeal, effectively seals these areas, preventing water ingress and inhibiting mould formation.

Long-lasting durability

Sealants endure daily wear and tear, from spills and cleaning to heat exposure and agitation from constant wiping with kitchen cloths. An inferior sealant can degrade quickly, losing its protective qualities. Unika’s sealants are designed for durability, ensuring they maintain their sealing properties over time and reduce the need to reapply.

Easy kitchen sealant application and maintenance

Applying a sealant shouldn’t be a daunting task. Unika’s sealants are user-friendly, allowing for easy application and a professional finish. Unika’s TopSeal, for instance, offers excellent gap-filling properties and adheres well to various surfaces like quartz, laminate, and stainless steel.

It’s got to look good

Beyond functionality, a good sealant contributes to the kitchen’s aesthetics. Unika’s TopSeal is available in colour-matched options, blending seamlessly with different kitchen designs. This ensures that joints and seams look neat and unobtrusive, enhancing the overall appearance of the kitchen.

Advantages of Unika’s kitchen sealant range

Unika’s range of sealants is a clear choice, with long established and expert formulations and a strong foothold in the worldwide market. Here’s why:

  • Hybrid sealants: A hybrid sealant and adhesive like TopSeal offers instant grip and minimal shrinkage. It’s resistant to mould growth and maintains its colour over time, unlike traditional silicone which can yellow.
  • Environmentally friendly: Unika’s sealants are formulated to be eco-friendly, containing no harmful solvents.
  • Versatility: Suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces including quartz, laminate, stainless steel, and more.

A hygienic kitchen is not just about regular cleaning (although we’ve got that covered too!); it’s also about ensuring that all potential areas for contamination are properly sealed. Using high-quality sealants like those from Unika not only keeps your kitchen looking pristine but also safeguards against moisture and bacteria build-up, contributing to a healthier living environment. By choosing the right sealant, kitchen manufacturers as well as kitchen fitters can ensure long-lasting, beautiful, and hygienic kitchens for their customers.
