Low Density

The TEXELL range of high performance joint fillers offer the widest choice of closed cell polyethylene foam available. Including low and high densities, cross linked and non-cross linked materials they offer a clean, easy and efficient method of forming expansion voids in brickwork, blockwork and concrete.

LOW DENSITY JOINT FILLERS

All TEXELL low density joint fillers are ideal for use in brickwork and blockwork due to their low compressive strengths. Also ideal for expansion and isolation joints in concrete slab construction. They are specified, therefore, in the construction of hardstandings, factories and warehouses, community and commercial buildings, airports and military bases etc.low density foam joint filler
