IMPORTANCE OF AN EXPANSION JOINT : EXPANSION JOINT DUBAI

 It is a general fact that almost every building is restrained until a certain degree. For absorbing the thermal expansion and contracting construction materials, expansion joints are used. An example of this strain is the expansion of building materials in hot weather and their contraction when it is cold. According to the magnitude of temperature change, thermal stresses vary. High stress on the building can be resulted by large temperature variations which must be addressed during the design phase.

Certain criteria which are highly likely to be fulfilled by expansion joints -

• High load-carrying capacity.
• Leak prevention by water-tightness in the joint and its connection at every side.
• Suitability for pedestrian traffic.
• Aggressive substance resistance.
• Reduced vibrations in delicate goods facilities.
• Should be pleasing to the eye.

Application of expansion joints

Shopping Malls

The visitors and customers of the mall shall not be bothered by the mundane structural details. A wide varied range of colors is available in the market with several fabrication materials like aluminum and stainless steel. They are extremely durable, rich in quality which can be easily incorporated into any kind of architectural concept.

Parking Areas and Ramps

Being resistant to significant chemical contamination from petrol, de-icing salt, and oil, expansion joints are also to withstand every type of weather.

Food factories, Laboratories, and Hospitals

In such facilities, hygiene is a key element and innovative expansion joint design makes way for thorough and easy cleaning which is highly important.

Chemical Factories

It is required to carefully select the materials required to be used in manufacturing expansion joints for chemical factories. By using highly resistant materials, resistance to chemical substances can also be achieved.
