Product Information

Using one is the most ideal way to fix leaks without carrying out extensive renovation work on your caravan. If you were just to run a search through Google, Bing or your preferred search engine for ‘caravan sealants’ though, thousands of results would be returned. This might not be helpful if you are completely new to caravan repairs. This added protection stops leaks when they first form, which means that it will save you from having to pay for expensive repairs which could include replacing the whole roof. Gave the caravan a good cleaning today and noticed that the tape which covers the rear roof joint that goes across the caravan had been damaged by a tree/hedge bough. The damage isn't extensive and consists of a tear near to the off side rear corner. The tear is contained within the overall width of the tape and hasn't breached the edges. I was thinking of using craft knife to remove the damaged section of tape, and to make a rectangular cut out within the tape. Then by using section of new tape I would cut out a section that would fit into the neat rectangular hole that I had cut out in preparation for the repair. Then I would cover the repaired area with an extended section of tape overlapping the repair by around three inches each side. Unlike some Swift group owners both my front and rear taped joints are neat and well bonded to the caravan. The tape covers the joint seal so is for additional protection to the joint seal itself. So complete removal of what is a well bonded joint tape across the whole width of the van isn't necessary. A high UV reflective rating will also mean that the sealant will reflect light and heat away from the surface, giving it added protection. This is even more important if you plan on using your caravan throughout the hotter summer months. The Soundaseal RV 61 is a highly rated caravan sealant which the brand state is used by many major manufacturers in the UK. The chemically neutral hybrid polymer is designed for interior or exterior use and forms a strong yet elastic bond that resists the effect of vibration.

Polyurethane Sealants. Polyurethane sealants are the latest in caravan sealant technology. These are by far the most advanced and effective, providing superior durability and protection compared to the alternatives available. It’s likely that polyurethane sealants have become so popular in recent years because this type of fixing works perfectly with fibreglass. Fibreglass is the material that more newer caravans are built with. It could also be down to the fact that polyurethane sealants can be sanded, painted over and are UV-resistant.
