Pre-compressed horizontal expansion joint seal delivering fire, smoke, water, and movement protection for slabs, decks, and podium joints.

Willseal FR-H Fire Rated Horizontal Expansion Seal

Willseal® FR-H is a pre-compressed, sound-attenuating fire-rated horizontal expansion joint seal. It integrates a smoke barrier within the foam body and comes with a factory-applied, traffic-rated silicone coating. Designed for 1-, 2-, or 3-hour fire-rated assemblies, it prevents smoke, toxic gas, and water intrusion while accommodating ±50% movement in dynamic structures.
