Description
Metacaulk Joint Strips are perfect for stadium building, tilt-up panels, curtain wall panels, and all concrete and masonry construction joints that need a fire-rated control joint. They can be used with any UL-listed sealant. This flexible firestop material is designed for concrete/masonry control floor and wall joints up to 2 feet (51 mm) wide.

Key features include easy installation, cost-effectiveness, versatility, flexibility, high intumescence (multiple staged), and the ability to be covered with any standard architectural caulk. The case weighs 15.50 lbs, with dimensions of 7.00 inches in height, 9.75 inches in length, and 9.75 inches in width. The brand is Metacaulk. It has 1, 2, 3, and 4 hour assembly ratings.

Using the Metacaulk Firestop Joint Strip is straightforward. First, make sure the area where you'll install it, like in stadium construction or concrete joints, is clean and dry. Measure the width of the joint; this strip works well for joints up to 2 feet wide. Cut the strip to the right length as needed. Then, position it firmly in the joint. You can use it with any UL-listed sealant for a better seal. When it comes to maintenance, check the strip regularly for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice any issues, replace the strip right away. Keep in mind that it forms a strong char to block fire, smoke, and hot gases, so don't cover it with anything that might prevent this function. You can cover it with standard architectural caulk of any color for a finished look.
