Control joints are a necessary requirement to facilitate structure movement and to prevent cracking. When these control joints are formed in a fire rated wall or floor, they need to be repaired to ensure the FRL of the structure is maintained.

PROMASEAL FYRESTRIP® is an intumescent based product and can accommodate movement of up to 50% of the joints size. Please consult Progressive Materials prior to any installation of these systems.
