Full details

FAQs

Can these boards be used for vertical joints?

Yes, the fibreboard is suitable for both horizontal slab joints and vertical expansion gaps.

Do I need to seal the top of the joint?

For optimal results in areas prone to heavy rain or chemicals, applying a flexible joint sealant over the top of the fibreboard is recommended.

Is the material rot-proof?

The bitumen impregnation provides high resistance to rot and moisture, making it durable for long-term ground contact.

Can I use this for indoor concrete floors?

Yes, it is highly effective for indoor applications such as warehouse or garage floors to accommodate movement.

What is the weight of one pack of 10?

While exact shipping weight varies, the boards are lightweight enough to be handled by a single person on site.

Troubleshooting

Board is too long for the joint

Use a standard wood saw to cut the fibreboard to the precise length required for your specific joint run.

Board bowing during the concrete pour

Secure the board using temporary stakes or nails to ensure it stays perfectly vertical against the joint face.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to moisture and rot
  • Easy to cut and shape to specific joint requirements
  • Excellent durability for long-term concrete stability
  • Convenient 10-pack quantity for project efficiency

Cons

  • Rigid board material may require careful transport to avoid corner snapping
  • Requires proper sealing if exposed to extreme weather conditions
  • Heavier than foam-based joint fillers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the ground is level and the joint area is clean of heavy debris. Use a standard hand saw or utility knife to trim the 2440mm strips to your desired length. When placing the strips, stake them securely against the formwork or adjacent slab to prevent movement during the concrete pour. Care should be taken not to soak the boards in water before installation, as although they are moisture-resistant, they perform best when kept dry until the concrete cure-time begins. Store unused strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the bitumen impregnation.
