Expansion Joints in Hospitals: Standards and Engineering Solutions from iChem

Expansion joints are a critical element for ensuring the safety and functionality of medical buildings and hospitals. They protect the structure, simplify maintenance, and maintain a healthy and safe environment for patients and staff. iChem provides comprehensive engineering solutions that meet the highest global standards for modern hospitals.


iChem Seismic Expansion Joint Systems

Protecting Buildings Against Earthquakes

Earthquakes are among the biggest challenges for medical facilities, as vibrations can cause severe cracks or damage to medical equipment.

iChem’s seismic expansion joint solutions provide:

  • High tolerance for structural movements.

  • Minimization of seismic impact on floors and walls.

  • Safety of the hospital and medical equipment at all times.

By implementing these systems, engineers can ensure a durable and safe building that complies with all health standards.


Fire Barriers in Modern Building Systems

Extra Protection Against Fire

In hospitals, fire safety is not optional—it is essential. iChem fire barriers offer integrated solutions that ensure:

  • Prevention of fire spread between departments.

  • Resistance to high heat and humidity.

  • Compliance with international safety standards in medical buildings.

These barriers work in harmony with expansion joints to maintain structural integrity and patient safety during emergencies.


Expansion Joint Covers for Walls and Ceilings
