How to Minimize Concrete Cracking due to Expansion and Contraction

Concrete cracks for a variety of reasons. Increased volume, temperature, and or/moisture all lead to concrete expansion and contraction which causes unsightly and destructive cracking in concrete. With the use of expansion joints, the damage caused by concrete movement can be lessened by allocating predetermined space for the expansion and contraction to occur.

Our Fibre Expansion Joint is proudly made in the U.S.A. A printed brochure is available by request or a digital PDF version can be downloaded that offers a product overview of each of our expansion joint options. Select product samples are also available.
