What will be an ideal response?


The two basic methods for protecting joints involve the use of sealants and prefabricated covers. A sealant is a flexible adhesive material that is worked into a joint, bonds to the sides, and sets into a firm but rubbery plastic material. Prefabricated covers are typically metal and made to allow for anticipated movement. The sealant filling a joint is a substitute for the material that was removed.
