Waterproof
Caulk that keeps water out is a necessity in areas that will be exposed to water, such as windows, doors, kitchens, and baths, so a permanently waterproof caulk is needed. If the caulk is not permanently waterproof, the area could be left vulnerable to water damage and mold growth.

Waterproof and Paintable
Some projects require a caulk that is waterproof and paintable. If the area will be exposed to water or the outdoor elements, a permanently waterproof and shrink-/crack-proof caulk is needed. If the caulk is not permanently waterproof and shrink-/crack-proof, the area could be left vulnerable to water damage, mold growth, and air leakage. If the caulk needs to match the exact color of the adjacent surface, it also needs to be paintable.

Paintable
For caulking jobs that need to be painted and won't be exposed to water or the outdoor elements for a significant length of time, such as interior molding and baseboards, a paintable acrylic can be used.

Specialty Products
For a project that is beyond a typical home caulking application, or that will be used in conjunction with another caulking product, or when caulk isn't appropriate for the job, a specialty product might be needed.

Not all caulk is the same. Because silicone is permanently waterproof, flexible, and shrink-/crack-proof, unlike acrylic, it won't leave gaps or cracks for air and water to seep through over time. Those leaks can lead to water damage, mold growth, and higher energy bills—all of which can translate into your lost time (when you have to do the job again), lost energy, and lost money.
