HUEBERT FIBERBOARD provides multi-purpose expansion/contraction expansion joints made of wood fiber. This technology has been used the world over to protect concrete from cracking and breakage.
Concrete expands and contracts with temperature and moisture changes. When the temperature rises or the moisture content of the concrete increases, expansion takes place. When temperatures drop, the concrete will contract. The provision to accommodate movement at predetermined locations with proper joint applications prevents the development of stresses that could crack the concrete.
HUEBERT FIBERBOARD is one of two fiberboard manufacturing locations in the U.S. and provides W. R. MEADOWS with its renowned FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT product.
FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT is composed of cellular fibers securely bonded together and uniformly saturated with asphalt to assure longevity. Wherever a cost-effective joint filler is required, FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT meets the need. Manufactured and marketed by W. R. MEADOWS since the early 1930s, FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT is backed by over 95 years of proven application experience. FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT is versatile, resilient, flexible, and non-extruding. When compressed to half of its original thickness, it will recover to a minimum of 70% of its original thickness. FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT will not deform, twist, or break with normal on-the-job handling. Breakage, waste, and functional failure resulting from the use of inferior, foreign fiber materials can cost you time and dollars and can result in a substandard finished job, generating costly callbacks and rework expenses. However, the purchase and installation of FIBRE EXPANSION JOINT (a small segment of the total project’s cost) contributes to both the final cost efficiency and functional success, far greater in proportion than its original cost.
