- Now What? Filling Your Concrete Expansion Joints
Adequately installed and well-placed expansion joints are a crucial component of long-lasting concrete.

Self-Leveling Caulk
Self-leveling concrete caulk has a thin and fluid consistency, enabling it to smoothly and uniformly fill gaps in joints without the need for finishing. However, because it's so thin, the caulk can seep through crevices or gaps, so you have to first make sure there are no large gaps or spaces where the caulk can escape to prevent leaks. For expansion joints over 1 inch wide, it’s best not to go with self-leveling caulk. This is because it’s difficult to properly prep the joint and the caulk m...
Non-Sag Caulk
Compared to self-leveling caulk, non-sag caulk has a thicker consistency that makes it easier to control. It won’t leak through cracks or holes in the concrete, and you can even use it in conjunction with self-leveling caulk to dam up any places where you don’t want the thinner material to leak out. Because non-sag caulk is thicker and does not level itself out, it will need to be smoothed manually after application to leave your expansion joints with a nice, clean finish.
While flexible caulk is the best material to use as a concrete gap filler, you may come across these alternatives when researching your options that we recommend avoiding:
