Silicone Calculator
Δ
Please Note:
Backer rod diameter should not vary from specified dimensions. If larger sizes are used, increased saw depth is needed.
Sealant bead thickness can increase by up to 25% of design value but may extend curing time.
Never install Roadsaver Silicone to a depth greater than the joint width (1:1 ratio).
Please
contact Crafco
for additional joint size design recommendations.
You may download or email a copy of your calculations at the bottom of the form.
Parameters
Enter your project parameters here. Joint Width determines the rest of the joint dimensions, while Silicone Type affects the expected usage rate.
Silicone Type
Self-Leveling
Non-Sag
If you are unsure which type of silicone you need, contact your Crafco representative.
Joint Width
1/4" (6mm)
3/8" (10mm)
1/2" (13mm)
5/8" (16mm)
3/4" (19mm)
7/8" (22mm)
1" (25mm)
1-1/8" (29mm)
1-1/4" (32mm)
1-3/8" (35mm)
1-1/2" (38mm)
Please select the nearest size for your intended joint width. We do not recommend exceeding this range in either direction.
Linear Feet of Joints to Seal
(Required)
For meters, multiply the length in meters by 3.281. Enter the resulting number above.
Percent Waste to Plan For
(Required)
Please enter a number greater than or equal to
0

Joint Configuration
IMPORTANT!
Deviating from the specified joint configuration may result in extended curing time, premature wear, or sealant overextension and breakage. We strongly recommend consulting your Crafco representative before making any changes to the joint design.
