Description
Large and modern buildings can�t be solved without expansion joints gaps. Being the producers of own products series, we can adjust our fabrication program to your requests.Large and modern buildings can�t be solved without expansion joints gaps � like a casual clothing article, without zipper...Present day buildings, large and very large, is splitted in sections � actually, independent buildings, with their own foundations, having different weights, heights and inner structure. In more cases, adjacent sections having different ages � especially in renewal and extended buildings when adding new parts.However, every human constructions floating over the earth surface � and earth compression under the foundation slab is a natural and slow motion process. Different sections of adjacent buildings having different ways of movement. On the vertical, the movements is based mainly on different age and weight. On the horizontal, these movements is generated by wind, traffic and thermal expansion.In case of insulated building, is no matter if entire structure decrease own height, with few millimeters, during one year. But, if this building is near another one (more, being coupled with another one and having a common lobby, for example) � therefore, of course this vertical movement induce cracks and damages for finishing surface of their common lobby.Without proper expansion joint profiles, major cracks will appear on the entire zone of section joint.Of course, this phenomenon will extend on all surfaces: on walls, ceilings, facade and roof.Problems becomes more serious on flexible buildings � like as tall or metallic structures. Is true, the range of expansion movements can be small � only few millimeters or centimeters � but they are based on huge forces; therefore, is not possible to avoid.Being the designers and producers of own products series, we can adjust our fabrication program to your requests, furthermore at good prices!
