Trim-A-Slab provides a unique DIY product for expansion joint repair, aiming to replace the use of largely ineffective wooden joints with a new rubber product. League City, Texas. January 2017. Concrete pavement cracks beneath the sun. Slabs move over time by weather and weeds. For driveway owners across the globe, it's time to get to work repairing the expansion joints needed to keep steady ground beneath our feet. And the team at Trim-A-Slab hope to lighten the load this time round with their prize product, a rubber substitute for the traditional wooden expansion joints used to plug cracks in the pavement. It's a straightforward idea: reduce the hassle of weeding the pavement and frequently performing maintenance on your drive by removing the narrow, vulnerable wooden expansion joints and replacing them with the Trim-A-Slab. This strong, flexible strip of rubber is designed to completely seal cracks, thereby preventing the growth of weeds, and will not naturally rot like its wooden counterpart. Trim-A-Slab also pride themselves on removing the problems associated with slab movement – the product is, of course, flexible, and therefore moves with the slabs rather than being damaged or splintered by expansions and contractions. The team believe that expansion joints can be extremely problematic for amateur repairmen, and that the Trim-A-Slab offers a quick and easy way to fill the cracks. Recognizing that wood is not the only expansion joint competitor, they argue that using a caulking gun will merely delay the opening of cracks and the growth of weeds due to its inability to expand and contract with the slabs it fills. Using filling materials, they explain, is not a permanent solution either – as the slabs expand or as the path is used, the poor support for the filler can fail and collapse in on itself. They emphasize the need for a 'compliant' material that can adjust to the conditions of slab movement while remaining durable and secure. The Trim-A-Slab, they insist, is such a material. Trim-A-Slab comes in six different sizes: 3/16", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-3/8". This allows the strip to be used on most pavements or driveways. In addition, it is available in black, cement gray or walnut, making it easy for the user to select an expansion joint that will blend into the desired aesthetic. This is what seems to distinguish Trim-A-Slab: an understanding of the need for quick and easy, but visually appealing ways to undertake DIY projects. By noticing the inherent complications behind a job as small as replacing expansion joints, they have demonstrated an eye for the needs of the regular homeowner. Not only does Trim-A-Slab provide these expansion joints for a reasonable price, but they can also refer you to an installation contractor if you are pressed for time or unable to install the joint yourself. Their website, www.trim-a-slab.com, also offers guides and FAQs for prospective customers and long term clients alike. They are dedicated to excellent customer service and seem intent on achieving their vision of a world of DIY made easier and more effective than ever before.
