Wet Area Sealant Color Select

Colored silicone for showers, baths and tiled wet areas

Maxisil Wet Area Sealant is a silicone joint sealant for bathrooms, showers, tub surrounds, kitchens and other suitable wet-area joints. Its flexible, mold-resistant formulation is intended for the transitions and movement joints that grout alone does not seal. It is designed for suitable ceramic and porcelain tile applications, with color choices to coordinate with tile and grout.

Best uses

  • Shower and bath perimeter joints, corners and changes of plane in compatible tiled installations.
  • Joints around suitable bathroom and kitchen fixtures, backsplashes and wet-area tile.
  • Movement and connection joints requiring a flexible silicone bead rather than rigid grout.

Which sealant should you choose?

Choose Wet Area for appropriate ceramic and porcelain tile installations. Do not use this formulation for granite or marble. For natural stone, choose Maxisil Natural Stone Sealant instead. For swimming pools or fountains, choose a formulation specified for that service, such as Maxisil Pool & Fountains, subject to its installation instructions.

Color, cartridge size and installation

  • Size: one 310 mL cartridge per selected variant.
  • Color: choose an available color in the selector; compare against the installed grout and inspect color images carefully.
  • Application temperature: approximately 5–35°C (41–95°F).
  • Cure: approximately 2–3 mm per 24 hours at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Joint depth and site conditions determine full cure.
  • Preparation: use clean, dry joints and the manufacturer's backing, primer and substrate instructions where applicable.

Finish the bead with the Maxisil Applicator and Smoothtex A smoothing agent. For suitable non-porous surfaces, Maxisil Cleaner can assist with preparation after compatibility testing.

Common questions

Is Wet Area silicone a substitute for grout?

No. Use it in appropriate flexible joints, corners and transitions; grout remains a different material for grout joints specified by the tile installation system.

Does silicone fully cure in 24 hours?

Not necessarily. The manufacturer's rate is approximately 2–3 mm per day under stated test conditions; deeper joints take longer.

Are large-project cases available?

Yes. The 15-cartridge Wet Area case uses one selected color and includes a gun.

Choose your Wet Area color above and add the number of 310 mL cartridges you need to cart.

Customers praised this wet area sealant as "easy to work with" and delivering a "smooth application" with minimal mess. Many said it "exceeded the hype" and became their "new go to" caulk. However, one customer reported the recommended Smoothtex A applicator damaged the silicone during application, requiring finger smoothing instead.

On line information on your website says that the product is safe for use on Granite & Marble.

On line information on your wedsite says that the product is safe for use as a sealer in wet areas and safe for use on Marble & granite. When I received the product
and used it on my kitchen sink granite counter top to seal between the counter & backsplash the caulk is lifting away from the surfaces. The tube states that it is not recommended for use on Natural Stone surfaces??? VERY POOR INFORMATION

We’re sorry. You’re right that our Wet Area product page said the sealant was safe for granite and marble, while the tube says it is not recommended for natural stone. That information was incorrect, and we’re correcting the listing. Maxisil makes a separate Natural Stone sealant for granite and marble applications.

We understand your frustration with the sealant lifting from your countertop and backsplash. Your order has been refunded in full, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

I purchased the recommended trio of silicone

I purchased the recommended trio of silicone, smoothed A and applicator. The Smoothtex A and applicator caused damage to the silicone and it all came off while smoothing. Needed to reapply from scratch with just the silicone and used my finger to smooth.

Amazing

Super easy to use, love the nozzle attachment! Keeps the unused portion from getting dried out, great idea all caulk tubes should be this way! This stuff goes on super smooth and the spray makes it effortless.

Do I need a caulk gun to apply

TileTools

Yes, you will need a caulk gun to apply Maxisil Sealants. It comes in a standard 290ml cartridge. Maxisil recommends a 12:1 caulk gun, but you can also use a 24:1 thrust ratio caulk gun for easier application.

Does it come with the thread on applicator tip?

K.H.

Yes, Maxisil silicone caulk comes with a convenient thread-on applicator tip. This feature ensures precise application, making it easier to seal joints and gaps with professional accuracy. The threaded design allows for secure attachment, preventing leaks and ensuring a smooth flow of the caulk.
