The 3mm Low Friction Bearing Strip lets precast floor slabs move on their bearing surface instead of binding against it. Precast floor systems like hollow core, T-section, and double T units expand, contract, and rotate slightly as temperatures change and as new concrete shrinks, and a bearing surface with too much grip transfers that movement into cracking or bearing stress instead of absorbing it. This strip's smooth top surface lets the slab glide, while a ribbed underside grips the supporting wall, corbel, or beam so the strip itself stays put. Made from impact-resistant plastic, it comes in 2.4m lengths, 3mm thick and 50mm wide, and is fixed down with a water-based adhesive. On uneven bearing surfaces, pairing it with a grouting mortar keeps contact consistent across the strip. Precasters and structural engineers use it at the interface between precast floor slabs and their supporting structure on commercial and civil precast jobs.

About 3mm Low Friction Bearing Strip - 50mm x 2.4m
It sits between a precast floor slab and its supporting structure, letting the slab move slightly with temperature and shrinkage instead of binding against the bearing surface.
This strip is 50mm wide, 3mm thick, and 2.4m long. A 75mm wide version is also available.
Score it at the desired length and snap it along the scored line.
It's fixed down with a water-based adhesive, smooth side facing up.
Position it at least 15mm away from any unarmoured edge.
A quality grouting mortar is recommended to keep contact consistent across the strip on uneven surfaces.
