Does the i720 support horizontal and vertical movements?
Yes, the i720 expansion joint is designed to handle horizontal and vertical movements very well. This makes it a good choice to deal with expansions and contractions caused by temperature changes or earthquakes. The joint helps protect structures and prevent cracks. Its performance depends on good installation and site conditions to ensure flexible and long-lasting response to building movement.
What types of finishes does this joint work with?
The i720 joint from iChem works well with many architectural finishes, including curtain walls, cladding systems, and gypsum board panels. This variety makes it suitable for buildings that need to blend the joints smoothly into the design without affecting the final look of the space.
Can it be integrated with hidden lighting systems?
The i720 joint is usually not used with hidden lighting systems because it does not support this kind of use. However, it can be installed with some types of lights like spotlights. The design must be coordinated before installation to avoid any interference and to make sure the joint fits well with the overall architectural finish.
Floor expansion joints
In floor expansion joints, gaps are left between floors to allow them to expand and contract as a result of temperature changes and to prevent cracks.
Features of floor expansion joints
1. iChem floor expansion joints provide flexibility to the floor because they allow it to expand and contract in a natural movement without damage.
2. iChem floor joints give a flat and homogeneous surface to the floor.
3. Floor expansion joints are filled with flexible materials such as rubber and silicone.
4. The main movement in the floors is horizontal.
5. iChem floor expansion joints are installed in large spaces such as parking lots and industrial buildings.
Wall expansion joints
In wall expansion joints, gaps are left between the walls to allow the walls to move naturally as a result of temperature changes and to prevent cracks.
Features of wall expansion joints
1. iChem wall expansion joints allow walls to move flexibly without cracking.
2. Reduce the impact of large cracks and fissures on the building structure.
3. iChem wall joints improve the performance of walls and maintain their shape, especially in large buildings.
4. Wall expansion joints are filled with flexible materials such as sealant to prevent water or air leakage.
5. Movement in walls is horizontal and vertical.
6. Wall expansion joints are used in tall buildings and places exposed to large temperature changes such as exterior facades.
