Frequently Asked Questions
Explore additional details and clarifications!
Yes. The i720® expansion joint is engineered to efficiently accommodate both horizontal and vertical movements. It helps absorb expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes or structural and seismic movements, reducing the risk of cracks and supporting long-term building stability.
What types of finishes are compatible with the i720® model?
The i720® joint is compatible with a wide range of architectural finishes, including curtain wall systems, cladding systems, and gypsum board finishes. This flexibility allows seamless integration into different designs without compromising the final appearance.
Can the i720® be integrated with lighting systems?
The i720® expansion joint is not typically designed for concealed lighting systems. However, it can be coordinated with selected lighting elements, such as spotlights, provided the design is planned in advance to avoid conflicts with architectural finishes.
Expansion Joints in Flooring
What are flooring expansion joints?
Flooring expansion joints are engineered gaps installed between floor sections to allow natural expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. They help prevent cracking, buckling, and long-term damage, improving overall floor durability.
Key advantages of flooring expansion joints:
Provide high flexibility, allowing floors to expand and contract naturally without damage.
Installed flush and level with the floor surface to maintain a clean, uniform appearance.
Filled with flexible materials such as rubber or silicone to absorb movement effectively.
Designed mainly to accommodate horizontal movement in flooring systems.
Commonly used in large areas such as parking structures and industrial buildings.
Expansion Joints in Walls
What are wall expansion joints?
Wall expansion joints are structural gaps created between wall sections to accommodate natural movement caused by temperature variation and structural shifts. They help reduce cracking and preserve the integrity of the building.
Key advantages of wall expansion joints:
Allow walls to move flexibly without causing cracks or surface damage.
Reduce the impact of major cracks and structural stress in buildings.
Improve wall performance and maintain aesthetics, especially in large-scale structures.
Filled with soft sealing materials (sealants) to prevent water and air leakage.
Accommodate both horizontal and vertical movements in all directions.
Widely used in high-rise buildings and external façades exposed to significant temperature changes.
