FIBRE LITE™
Forming Material and Expansion Joint
DESCRIPTION
FIBRE LITE is a unique, light-duty
forming material and expansion joint. Time tested across the United
States and Canada, this all-natural product is perfect for forming
walkways, patios, pool aprons and driveways. FIBRE LITE is compatibile
with sealants, including polymerized sealants.
The basic raw material in FIBRE LITE is

APPLICATION
Clear the area and set form
using FIBRE LITE and wooden stakes. Be sure to drive stakes below
top edge of form. Fill with stone aggregate. Compress aggregate
with a tamping tool for a good foundation. NOTE: Consult your
local building code to determine the necessary depth of concrete
and aggregate. Mix concrete to specification of manufacturer and
pour into form. Using two pieces of FIBRE LITE fastened together,
screed poured concrete to the top of FIBRE LITE form. Use one
piece of FIBRE LITE as an expansion joint every 10 lineal feet
for sidewalks to reduce future surface cracking. Trowel concrete
smooth, allowing liquid concrete to float to the top, then finish
to the preferred texture. Once concrete has completely dried,
fill and landscape for a professional finish.
