THE JOINT IS WHERE WATER CAN FIND ITS WAY IN.
A construction joint may be a relatively small detail within a reinforced concrete structure — but if it's not properly waterproofed, it can become a major problem.
Once the concrete has been poured, repairing a leaking construction joint can mean disruption, remedial works, additional costs and project delays.
The better approach?
SPECIFY THE WATERSTOP BEFORE THE CONCRETE IS POURED.
Triton CEMflex VB Plate Waterstop is a BBA Approved solution for waterproofing non-movement construction joints in reinforced concrete.
It combines a galvanised steel plate with a patented reactive coating. When the coating comes into contact with water, the reactive technology activates to help seal the joint and prevent water ingress.

✅ Tested to withstand water pressures of up to 5 bar
