What is Caulking, Why is it Needed, and What are the Different Types of Caulks?

Caulking is a type of sealant that is used to fill gaps and cracks in the surface of a tub or shower. It can also be used on other surfaces like walls, floors, and windows. Caulking is often used in tubs and showers for waterproofing. It also sometimes serves as a sealant between tiles or has other practical purposes such as sealing around pipes, but is mostly used for cosmetic purposes. There are usually two types of caulks: silicone caulk and latex caulk. Silicone caulk is flexible and doesn't dry out easily while latex caulk dries out faster but has a stronger bond.
