Expandacork - Type II.
Construction
Expansion Joints
Absorbing expansions and the contractions inherent to concrete buildings.Designed to fill the gaps left between expansion joints in concrete slabs, Expandacork products absorb the vibrations, expansions and contractions caused by thermal variations in different construction systems. The joint fillers allow the movement of structures without causing damage and ensuring these spaced are filled.
Expandacork's unique flexibility enables its easy deployment and also its capacity to resist without any deterioration the continuous deformations caused by different climate conditions. Expandacork materials correspond to a long term compromise between performance, durability and mechanical resistance required on the high end projects of construction industry.
