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.

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
