When opting for Self-Healing concrete, we provide healing properties to concrete. This makes it possible to temporarily accept larger cracks, as they will be sealed watertight in a couple of weeks. The limit for these larger cracks are based on durability regulations and therefore the design still complies to regulations and standards.
