Does Your Concrete Have Freeze-Thaw Cycle Damage?

All concrete expands and contracts as temperatures rise and fall.  The more extreme the temperatures are, the more extreme the movement of the concrete, which can be a major contributor to the formation of cracks and other damage.  

Control joints are there in the concrete to help provide space for the concrete to crack in a controlled manner when it expands.  When control joints fill with water and freeze it can cause damage to occur at the joint or force ugly uncontrolled cracks elsewhere in the concrete. 

Regardless of how concrete cracks form, they are a cause for concern.  During the freeze-thaw cycle, these cracks can take in water which then freezes.  This causes little pieces of concrete to break away from the edges of the crack or even force another crack to occur in a different direction.  

In these cases, NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks is specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.  Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble, or dry out.  It is also water-impenetrable to help prevent ice from forming in the joints and cracks.
