JOINT SEALING Clause Samples
The Joint Sealing clause defines the requirements and procedures for sealing joints in construction projects to prevent the ingress of water, air, or other substances. It typically specifies the types of sealants to be used, the preparation of joint surfaces, and the methods for application to ensure a durable and effective seal. By establishing clear standards for joint sealing, this clause helps maintain the integrity of the structure and prevents future issues such as leaks or material deterioration.
