Dowelsert™

Dowelsert™ is designed to be used with round dowels to eliminate the need for drilling formwork and greasing dowels. Dowelsert™ minimises vertical movement at joints, reducing damage and is quick and easy to use. The Dowelsert™ provides expansion capacity of up 10mm and is suitable for use with black, galvanised or stainless steel friction cut round dowels.
 
They are ideal for construction joints in ground slabs and are available in 16mm and 20mm standard sizes. The Dowelsert™ is easily nailed to wooden formwork, or screwed to metal forms utilising its in-built flanged nailing plate.
