Overview

The AR Series is designed for concrete construction joints where the outer edge of the joint is exposed to groundwater, rainwater, or moisture from the surrounding structure. Installed on the exterior side of the joint line, the profile helps create a continuous barrier while still allowing the concrete to move.

Unlike an internal waterstop, the AR Series is selected when the waterproofing detail is built around the external joint face and needs to work together with surface membranes, sealants, and protective coatings.

For the current catalog, AR250 is the only listed product model. It is positioned as a practical single-option profile for projects that need a clear, durable, and easy-to-verify external construction joint solution.

This page is intended to support product discovery, specification review, and SEO relevance for the AR250 external waterstop detail.

Key points

  • Exterior barrier — the profile is placed on the outer face of the joint where water first reaches the structure.
  • Joint movement support — it is selected for locations where movement between concrete pours or structural elements is expected.
  • Continuity — a continuous profile helps maintain a sealed line along the joint.
  • System compatibility — it should be reviewed alongside the waterproofing membrane, sealant, and finishing system.

AR250 Specification Summary

The AR Series is currently represented by AR250, the only catalog model available for this external construction joint application. Project teams should still verify dimensions, tolerances, and installation detail against the approved drawing.

Typical Applications

The AR Series is typically specified where the joint line needs a durable external waterproofing solution. Common application areas include:

  • Basements, underground parking, and below-grade walls
  • Water-retaining structures such as tanks and reservoirs
  • Retaining walls and facade joints exposed to moisture
  • Foundation slabs and external slab-to-wall joints

AR Series vs. Internal Waterstop

An internal waterstop is usually embedded inside the concrete section to protect the joint core. The AR Series is chosen when the waterproofing plan depends on a visible, external barrier at the joint face.

Installation Guidance

  1. Prepare the joint face. Clean and inspect the concrete edge so the profile can be installed on a stable, sound surface.
  2. Position the profile. Place AR250 along the outside edge of the joint so it bridges the two concrete faces.
  3. Secure and align. Keep the profile straight and properly anchored so it remains in place during construction and subsequent movement.
  4. Coordinate the waterproofing system. Review the membrane, sealant, and termination details so the AR250 profile functions as part of a complete barrier.

Installation Notes

  • Do not twist or overstretch the profile during handling.
  • Confirm that AR250 matches the joint width and expected movement.
  • Review corners, transitions, and terminations to preserve continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AR Series designed for?

It is designed for external construction joints in concrete structures where a durable waterproof barrier is needed at the outside face of the joint.

Why is AR250 the current model?

AR250 is the only product currently listed for this application, making it the practical reference model for projects requiring an external concrete joint waterstop.

Where is AR250 commonly used?

It is often used in basements, foundation slabs, retaining walls, tanks, reservoirs, and other below-grade or moisture-exposed concrete works.

How should AR250 be installed?

It should be aligned along the outside edge of the joint, secured properly, and integrated with the broader waterproofing detail so it remains continuous at corners and terminations.
