1. WHAT ARE EXPANSION JOINTS? All buildings and theis structural elements are subject to stresses which cause movements, deformations and dimensional changes. THESE STRESSES ARE CAUSED BY THE FOLLOWING REASONS: • Thermal changes in the environment. • Expansion and contraction of constructive elements. • Settlements and movements of the ground • Seismic movements. • The use. • Wind pressure. • Loads and traffic. To control and prevent these stresses, the medium and large buildings are built by blocks, so that each block works individually and does not hit the adjacent block. Between these blocks...

These profiles for expansion joints can be installed with all kinds of materiales: porcelain, concrete, terrace, granite, marbles and other stones.. It is recommended fixing them to the concrete slab and not to the final coating (tiling). In...
