Why Should Joint Sealant Bond to Two Sides Instead of Three?

Concrete joints are designed to move.

When a sealant bonds to both sidewalls and the bottom of the joint, that movement becomes restricted and stress builds inside the repair.

Our new technical resource explains why three-sided bonding can cause premature failure—and how a properly installed backer rod helps the sealant move as intended.

A small installation detail can make a major difference in joint life.
