With the installation of aluminum windows into concrete block openings, what is the BEST CAULKING MATERIAL to use? We have lots of strong winds and rain here. Thanks for any suggestions....Tree

Sikaflex, a construction adhesive, would do well. Vulkem 116 would do as well, possibly better, and will be easier for you to find on the market.

Jalousy Doors

on Aug 13, 2001

I am interested in putting in a Jalousy door on the side entrance of my house. I live in St. Clair Shores, Michigan and have shopped and searched all over the Metro Detroit area for Jalousy doors to no avail. I was either told that manufacturers don't make them anymore or that the dealers simply don't have any. I am stumped. Any info regarding where I can purchase a Jalousy door would be very appreciated! Thank You! George HammondRead More
