and cut back to the required depth subsequently using a power brush machine. This latter method is generally used for housing estate roads which cannot be cleaned and sealed until all building has finished. Fosroc Fibreboard should be tamped down to ensure that it fills the joint completely and provides continuous support for the joint sealant.

Application instructions Slabs Where used to form an expansion joint in in-situ concrete, Fosroc Fibreboard shall be placed against the shuttering on the concreting side before the pour begins. Copper nails may be used to prevent displacement in joints in suspended slabs. Alternatively, Fosroc Fibreboard may be bonded to the existing slab or previous pour using a suitable adhesive such as Plastiseal or Supastik wall panel adhesive. Care should be taken not to contaminate surfaces of the sealing slot with the adhesive. Where a sealed joint is not required e.g. soffit joints or in retaining walls, Fosroc Fibreboard may be installed in conjunction with Fosroc PVC Capping Strip. 1 Shuttering 2 Fosroc Fibreboard 3 Copper nails 4 Fosroc PVC Capping Strip Joint sealing A joint sealing slot can be formed by placing a removable timber former on top of the Fosroc Fibreboard. Alternatively, Fosroc Fibreboard can be installed to the full depth of the slab FIL/JUL/05/C * Denotes the trademark of Fosroc International Limited.
