WHAT IS AN EXPANSION JOINT AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Long-Lasting Buildings with Expansion Joints
Expansion joints, which you can use as common structural separations, are used as building expansion joints. These products, generally used in manufacturing plants, interact with building movements. These products, which you can prefer to reduce the stress on building materials, are induced in processes such as live load deflection, static load deflection, seismic events, and wind-induced swaying. These products, used in processes such as roof membranes, air barriers, soundproofing, fireproofing, and waterproofing of structural elements, are used to restore the installation functions of the building. The expansion joint system helps the joint to compress by accommodating the expansion and contraction of building movement.
Saving Time with Expansion Joints
These products, which divide structural elements into two, have features such as fire resistance, sound insulation, air barrier sealing, resistance to hurricane-force winds and water, and waterproofing. These systems, which help buildings to be more efficient, are also preferred for energy efficiency, safety, and leak-proofing. Expansion joint systems, which fully meet your expectations with their superior features that save time, are effective in protecting life safety. These products, used in processes such as holding parts together, absorbing vibration, and absorbing the shrinkage and expansion movements of construction materials caused by heat, can be used in factories, roads, and many other areas. These products, which allow the reduction of expansion movements caused by heat, are effective against various weather conditions. These products, also known as movement joints in the industry, are needed in situations such as particle accumulation in bellows folds, system overpressure, abrasion, anchor failure in service, inadequate protection, incorrect installation, and damage during transport and handling.
