Saw cuts in concrete slabs, called control joints, isolation joints and cold pour joints, are essential for preventing random surface cracks across the slab. Concrete slabs in commercial and industrial buildings are designed to move under heavy loads. As a loaded forklift rolls across the saw cut edges the slab will depress slightly exposing the leading edge of the adjacent slab, causing chipping and spalling. Over time this will create large cracks and damage to the joints making the floor surface uneven and causing safety concerns. Semi-rigid joint fillers, typically fast-curing Polyureas were developed to keep debris from collecting in the joints and to protect the edges from degradation. Concrete Solutions can provide the answer to your floors.
The process for filling the joints consists of abrading the side of the joints then applying a release agent to keep the caulking material from adhering to the horizontal surface of the concrete.
The joints are overfilled and once the filler cures, a long-poled razor scraper is run along the floor to remove the excess material leaving the joint flush and even.
Concrete Solutions utilizes recognized Polyurea materials from Sika, Metzger McGuire, SASE Company, Euclid, BASF/Master Builders, and Seal Boss.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have an existing facility that has not had the Control Joints treated, can they still be filled?
Yes, the joints can be evaluated, repaired, and filled. Once complete the joints will now be protected from wear.
Is the process expensive?
Not compared to the cost of remediation. Typically new floors can have their control joints filled for between $3.25-$5.25 LFT depending on the specific requirements of the facility.
How long does the process take?
The process is quick – polyurea fillers cure as fast as one minute up to two hours. Once completed and shaved the floor area can be put back into service immediately. There is no additional cure time required.
Can this be done while our facility is in operation?
Yes, the materials are low or no odor and some are CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) certified for processing facilities. All preparation equipment is attached to vacuums with HEPA filtration systems to ensure the air remains clean.

Polyurea Joint Filler is a technically advanced self-leveling fast-setting caulk. It is semi-rigid, allowing small slab movement but strong enough to protect the edges (shoulders) of concrete joints from spalling under extreme loading.
The fillers have been specifically designed for industrial floor applications and are typically tack-free in 5 to 15 minutes allowing for vehicle or foot traffic within 1 hour.
