Eaves Filler
Polyethylene foam filler blocks, contoured to the roof sheet profile to help prevent draughts and dust etc.
Sand and Cement Fillet
The sand and cement fillet is laid internally on perimeter walls, and helps to prevent water leaking under the concrete panels. Exposed positions, or surrounding ground level higher than the base may well mean the fillet eventually leaks.
