Control Joint from ICHEM – High-Quality Structural Expansion Joints
What Is a Control Joint?
A control joint, also known as a structural expansion joint, is one of the most important protection elements in concrete structures.
It allows natural building movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction, load changes, or seismic activity.
This system helps absorb stress and prevent cracks in concrete surfaces and finishes, maintaining the quality and durability of the structure over time.
Importance of Using Control Joints
Structural expansion joints play a vital role in improving the performance and lifespan of concrete structures by:
Reducing cracks caused by expansion and contraction.
Protecting floor finishes from damage.
Enhancing the performance of indoor and outdoor concrete floors.
Increasing flexibility and environmental resistance of the building.
Facilitating maintenance and repair work in the future.
Where Control Joints Are Installed
Control joints are implemented in various construction applications, such as:
Concrete floors in factories, warehouses, and airports.
External surfaces exposed to temperature variations.
Internal floors in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Walkways and parking areas.
ICHEM’s control joint systems are designed to be easy to install, simple to maintain, and cost-effective.
