Removing sealant from glass

Removing sealant from glass is a job that is sometimes necessary. It has started to mould or is coming off. Something needs to be done about it because the sealant edge looks less attractive. Often, removing sealant from glass costs people a lot of trouble. This is often because they do not have the right knowledge. After reading this blog post, removing sealant residue from windows will be a piece of cake. Our tips and tricks will help you get this job done!

Removing silicone sealant from glass can be tricky. The glass can be damaged and often professionals perform this task. Removing it is not necessarily difficult, but it is important to do it the right way. Silicone sealant is mostly used in damp rooms with glass because of its moisture resistance. Nevertheless, it does happen that sealant gets mouldy. If this happens, you can remove the silicone sealant with a break-off knife and the Super Silicone Sealant Remover.

An important difference between silicone sealant and acrylic sealant, is that you often don't need to remove acrylic sealant completely. You only need to touch up this type of sealant in most cases. This is because acrylic sealant is less often placed in damp environments, such as bathrooms, kitchens and near glass. In contrast, acrylic sealant is much more often used for grouting and gaps, as in:

• Door frames
• Window sills
• Panelling
• Stairs
• Skirting boards
• Walls
• Plasterboard and corrugated sheets

The nice thing about acrylic sealant is that you don't always have to remove it. Touching up acrylic sealant is often enough. Do you still need to remove acrylic sealant? Then use this step-by-step plan:

1. Use a sharp stripping knife and extend the blade as far as possible.
2. Durk the knife against the surface of the sealant. All the time, cut as straight as possible and with the same pressure. This will save work later.
3. Pull off the acrylic sealant.
4. Remove any remaining residue with sealant remover and finally go over it with sandpaper.
