We also remove and replace old and failing Joint Sealants and Caulking.

Gleeson Powers offers our caulking services for controlled and classified Clean Rooms. Caulking in Clean Rooms, ranging from Class 1 environments to temperature-controlled enclosures, requires unique attention to detail. The design specifications of cleanrooms require that finishes be designed to be smooth, easy to clean, nonporous and have minimal ledges and joints. In addition to properly applied caulking to achieve the appropriate Clean Room Classification, appearance is also very important. A visually appealing, neat application adds to the overall finish of the clean room.
