WR MEADOWS, INC.

        The company was founded by WR “Bob” Meadows in 1926 in Elgin, Illinois. Today, it remains a family business owned and operated. Since 1926, WR MEADOWS, INC. has built a coveted reputation for product quality, company integrity and service among architects, engineers and contractors in the private and public sectors of the construction industry. Our extensive line of high performance construction products Premium grade has been developed for use in. . . successively. . . around and under concrete.

        The industry standard-bearer from the 30′s and still going strong

        Fiber Expansion Joint

        Fiber expansion joint installed.

        Shortly after WR MEADOWS, INC. became a reality, its founders created imaginative fiber expansion joint that set the industry standard in early 1930 for the functional longevity and cost efficiency. Fiber Expansion Joint remains the ideal for the vast majority of all applications of expansion / contraction joints. Since its inception, we have seen many attempts to copy the product, but to date has never been equaled by profitable performance and return on investment.

        CREATE THE ONLY WATERPROOF MEADOWS vapor seal

        Preformed membrane

        MEMBRANE precast

        PLASMA CORE VAPOR SEAL with which it applies.

        A major break through products in late 1940 a long experience of WR MEADOWS ‘in the form of vapor and waterproofing products, which has never been equaled. This innovative product is preformed vapor membrane SEAL PLASMA CORE or “PMPC” as specifiers and users have come to call it. “PMPC” is a true vapor seal designed and tested for its unparalleled Underslab vapor and waterproofing capabilities. Today, only vapor membrane precast SEAL BASIC PLASMA offers the lowest WVT (Water Vapor Transmission) Rating-0.00 grains / square meter. feet. / Hr. . . that is the hallmark of vapor impermeable.

        The product has a variety of other value-added features. Cut “full-loaded” costs, as “PMPC” can be placed directly on the degree of compaction of gravel without a costly or sand base. Preformed membrane is as tough and as puncture / rupture of the test as a vapor seal can be. Trailer trucks, foot traffic, the overall impact, and a truck from time to time before mixing in the workplace are handled smoothly. Permanently sealed seams provide a link that will not break when the concrete expands, contracts or settle the score. “PMPC” does not deteriorate. Today, meets and exceeds the maximum transfer rate of moisture from the slab 3 lbs. / 1,000 sq. ft./24 hrs. required by the specifications of the flooring industry.

        RECOGNIZED BY CONTRACTORS SEALED, both public and private sector

        THE “BEST AVAILABLE”

        Hi-Spec sealant

        Workers with the fuser wand and applicator HI-SPEC application of the whole road.

        In the 1960 road officials of the industry were looking for a joint sealant that meet and establish specification criteria and perform satisfactorily in terms of “real world” field. WR MEADOWS R & D rose to the challenge. The result was the development of HI-SPEC hot applied polymer sealant.

        Since its introduction, HI-SPEC has established a different standard of excellence within the industry for their reliability, longevity and a high return on investment. Today, this premium quality, single component joint sealant asphalt contractors recognized by sealing both public and private sector as the “best available” and the most cost efficient in the industry of the highway.

        A solvent-based FULL CURING AND SEALING SYSTEM IS DEVELOPED AND EVOLVE

        Curing and Sealing CompoundsEarly construction program in the liquid development, R & D Meadows’ people made complete curing and sealing of the participation of two products: CS-309 ™ curing and sealing compound and acrylic sealant TIAH ® Acrylic Concrete. The original CS-309 and TIAH remains a popular system for nearly 25 years, until the application of the federal EPA Architectural requirements of the standard took effect coatings.

        Easy to use, solvent-based products meet the VOC

        After the regulations of the U.S. EPA entered into force, WR MEADOWS replaced the pair with two high-performance, standalone products. CS-309-25 (formerly CS-309) and TIAH can be used individually to obtain excellent results.

        Today, these popular products are solvent based VOC compliant and comply with the regulations of the U.S. EPA. When applied correctly, TIAH and CS-309-25 provide a long duration, not yellow, waterproof seal to retain moisture. Both products offer hard concrete, strength, dense, high compression, which provides excellent resistance against foot traffic or vehicular use. They also offer better resistance to rain, sun, freezing temperatures, most acids and industrial chemicals, oil, grease, deicing salts, cleaning agents (except aromatic solvents), caustics, abrasions construction, airborne soot, dust and other contaminants.

        MEADOWS PIONEERS OF LOW-solvent, water based PRODUCTS TO PREVENT POLLUTION

        WR MEADOWS has been very concerned for nearly two decades about building products that contribute to environmental pollution. The company is particularly concerned with high levels of solvents present in most liquids construction.

        As a manufacturer, WR MEADOWS decided to attack this problem with their own resources. Research the company and product development capabilities were redirected and focused on the goal of developing concrete construction liquids that do not harm the environment. A second goal, which goes hand in hand with the first, is to offer products designed to improve the worker’s environment.

        Efforts Meadows’ was worth it. The first of a wide range of real water-based products that do not harm the environment emerged in the 1980s. These newcomers, and those that followed, it quickly became a product line marked in the “green line” ®.

        VOCOMP VOCOMP ® -20 and-25 water based, curing and sealing of acrylic have been the cornerstone of the “green line”. They are known for lasting performance, and features excellent high gloss.

        The “green line”, now has about sixty products that offer very low solvent content. Many “Green Line” products are so unique that their formulas are proprietary.

        The broad product line consists of concrete curing, sealing, hardening, cleaning, degreasing, anti-evolution, dust-proof, and the injection level of protection compounds, concrete accelerators fixed dampproofers, bonding agents , concrete release agents,, patching, resurfacing restoration products, evaporation retardants, surface primers and composite bituminous concrete surface treatment. The water-based compounds even more effective than solvent-based products used previously. Contractors prefer user-friendly “Green Line” products because they are easy to mix and apply. Most products are designed for spray application and can be readily cleaned with soap and water while still wet.

        Diversifies MEADOWS WITH PREMIUM LINE PRODUCTS INDOOR SWIMMING POOL CONSTRUCTION

        WR MEADOWS offers a premium line of products for the construction of the indoor pool.

        Products are assembled under the banner DECK-O-SEAL ®.

        DECK-O-Seal

        Finally, the teams public and private have an alternative product “cool” and safe available for joint projects horizontal and crack repair.

        UNIQUE PRODUCT PACKAGING COMPONENT AND PROTECTS AGAINST MISMATCH mismanagement in the construction

        Product packaging

        Unique packaging for products of restoration

        WR MEADOWS was the first manufacturer to pay attention to the common complaint of workers in the workplace that the products of several components had a tendency to mix-under normal working conditions. This prompted a concerted effort to find a practical solution to the problem. Single unified package, was the answer. The innovative and user-friendly product packaging is designed to prevent mismatches of expensive components, eliminating the guesswork and ensure adequate pre-measured, two-component mixture at all times.

        A variety of package designs for our construction REZI-WELD epoxy and grout / patch Game Line has been developed. These include convenient, easy to carry two component companies, the home of our two color codes. . . Part A and B component containers and mixing paddle to a hand unit, two side by side components of the double injection cartridge; pre-Pak cartridges self-mixing and injection unit kit grout / patch. The kit includes a component of Part A of the epoxy resin premixed and packaged and selected aggregates, graded and a menu in the tray containing the Part B separately packaged or activator. All elements are contained in a vessel of 5-gallons (18.93 liters) or cube mixture. Contractors really appreciate the convenience and ease of use.
