Expansion joints are predetermined gaps in building structures designed to allow for environmental movement caused by temperature changes, wind, or earthquakes.<\/p>\n

Movement can be caused by (1) temperature \u2013 this affects every single built structure; (2) wind sway \u2013 also known as shear, this affects high-rise buildings especially; (3) seismic activity \u2013 regionally based movement in 3 directions, these are often caused by earthquakes or tremors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

8 questions to ask when choosing expansion joint cover systems:<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

1. What is the joint width?
\n2. What are the movement parameters?
\n3. What are the floor loading requirements?
\n4. What type of project is this?
\n5. What aesthetic value are you trying to achieve?
\n6. Hygienic requirements (eg. Does the joint cover need to be sealed?)
\n7. Additional considerations: Does the building require Fire Barriers and\/or Moisture Barriers? What about acoustic considerations?
\n8. What is the budget?<\/p>\n

Note that expansion joint systems need to accommodate the minimum and maximum movement requirements. To avoid confusion, it is best to define movement through dimensions (eg. A 6\u201d expansion gap that moves 3\u201d in or 3\u201d out = 3\u201d-9\u201d operating range. The term percentage (%) of movement is sometimes used, but it is defined differently by each manufacturer and thus potentially confusing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Masters of Movement: INNIVATE\u2019s expansion joint cover systems<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Expansion joint systems incorporate everything from acoustics and waterproofing to fire and environmental heat. They are the unsung heroes maintaining building integrity in the face of earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and the everyday march of Mother Nature. From ensuring smooth transitions for rolling equipment like carts, gurneys and wheelchairs, to preventing the spread of smoke and fire, each expansion joint cover system has building protection integrated into its design.<\/p>\n

INNIVATE\u2019s range of expansion joint cover systems include compression seals, floor expansion joint covers, wall and ceiling expansion joint covers, exterior expansion joints, foam seals and fire and moisture barriers, seismic joint systems,and facility protection.<\/p>\n
