Skylight Sealant SR140 by Specialty Recreation White Compact Silicone

Description

Product Overview

Specialty Recreation’s SR140 Skylight Sealant is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern roof skylight installations. Crafted from high‑grade silicone, this sealant offers a waterproof barrier that stands up to rain, snow, hail, and intense UV exposure without cracking or losing adhesion. The product is supplied in a compact, white tube measuring 11.25 x 2 x 1.75 inches and weighing just 15.2 ounces, making it easy to handle, store, and transport. Its formulation is designed for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts, delivering a consistent flow that reduces waste and ensures a smooth, even bead. The sealant’s waterproof rating guarantees that water will not penetrate the joint, protecting interior spaces from leaks and moisture‑related damage.

Beyond its core waterproofing capabilities, SR140 provides excellent flexibility, allowing the sealant to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of roofing materials. This flexibility helps maintain a continuous seal over the lifespan of the skylight, even in regions with extreme temperature fluctuations. The product’s white color blends discreetly with most roofing membranes, reducing visual impact while still delivering high performance. With a 4.4‑star rating from 38 verified customer reviews, the sealant has proven its reliability in real‑world applications.

Manufactured in the United States, SR140 adheres to strict quality standards, ensuring each tube meets the performance specifications listed on the packaging. The sealant is compatible with a wide range of roofing substrates, including metal, asphalt shingles, and various membrane systems. Its low VOC formulation also aligns with environmentally conscious building practices, making it a responsible choice for green construction projects.

Usage

SR140 is ideal for sealing the perimeter of skylights, roof windows, and other roof‑mounted openings. Whether you are installing a new skylight or performing maintenance on an existing unit, the sealant provides a reliable barrier against water intrusion. Apply the sealant using a standard caulking gun; the compact tube design ensures precise control, allowing you to fill gaps and seams without over‑application. The silicone cures to a flexible, durable film that remains effective for years, even under harsh weather conditions.

Typical use cases include residential homes, commercial buildings, and light‑industrial facilities where natural lighting is desired. The sealant works well in both new construction and retrofit projects, making it a versatile solution for architects, builders, and property owners. Its quick‑set properties reduce downtime during installation, helping you stay on schedule and within budget.

When applying SR140, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. For optimal adhesion, a primer may be used on certain substrates, though the silicone formulation generally bonds well without additional preparation. After application, allow the sealant to cure for the recommended time before exposing the area to moisture. This ensures a strong, lasting seal that protects the interior of the building.
