25' SlabGasket Expansion Joint Replacement - 1/2" (Almond)

This stuff feels tough and durable, it's heavy duty and was exactly what I needed. I read some reviews how it was tough to put in and had to me hammered all the way. I ordered it anyway because out of all the comparable products it seemed to be the best for my purposes. I took a small straight pry bar/chisel I usually use on tear out stuff and cleaned out the cement boogers from the seam. I had measured in a few places prior to ordering to make sure it would fit as some reviewers had mentioned very little give or compression of the gasket. I back filled the seam between slabs with sand, the span across a 2 car garage is about 20', probably took me an hour between layout, prep and installation. Went along the length with a piece of wood I use as for spacer blocks and pounded it in with an 8lb sledge. Took some effort but not too much as the seam and the gasket were close in width. I now can imagine a little bit of how a blacksmith feels but it wasn't too difficult. Nice, tight fit, looks awesome, I am super happy with the product, I highly recommend this for concrete, driveway joints that have separated.

a little elbow grease required to install this -- but SO worth the effort to keep water out between cement slabs!! EXACTLY as advertised. will never need replacing again!

Installs easily, and looks great. Be sure to order the samples first so you get the precise fit for your application.

Shipper promptly. SlabGasket remedies the rotted wood forms between sections of driveway concrete!

Worked perfectly for my application.

Expensive but easy to apply and really works well.

High quality expansion joint gasket. Looks good.

This product is absolute rubbish in the half inch wide variety, as it will not conform to anything under 1/2” (which is most often the case with smaller expansion joints) and provides zero resilience in szie-on or slightly wider spots. For the tight spots I tried several workarounds, including lubrication, with absolutely no luck. Total rip-off.So then I moved on to installing the three-quarter inch and 7/8” strips. The installation is nowhere near as simple as shown on the promotional videos. Again there is a real sensitivity to changes in crack width....particularly when the top of the strip nears the top of the crack. I had to use a five pound shot filled mallet to beat on a 3/4” wide drift in order to get this stuff installed. And I mean I had to beat every single inch of that gasket into the cracks. IT WAS BRUTAL!!!So then I tried to get a refund through the manufacturer for the 1/2” material but guess what........turns out they don’t answer their phone and their voicemail won’t take any messages. No doubt there are a lot of dissatisfied and angry customers trying to contact them. Not surprised though, given you pay a small fortune for this garbage.Save yourself a world of pain and anguish and just do foam filler rods and mastic caulking.....waaaaaaaay easier.
