Expansion Joint Solutions - Technical and Material Details
Kivolt Expansion Joint Solutions offer a range of durable solutions for different of applications. Those applications include commercial centers, shopping malls, railway stations, airports, bridges, schools, hospitals and many others.
Profiles are designed to safely absorb the heat-induced expansion and contraction of concrete slabs. In addition, to absorb vibration, and to allow movement due to ground movements or earthquakes. Our variety of expansion joints includes profiles for walls and floor, for pedestrian as well as heavy loads traffic and for seismic movements. Kivolt has a range that includes aluminum profiles, rubber profiles, and a combination of aluminum profiles with rubber inserts.
They are designed to cover areas of structural movement. Concrete slabs are designed to move due of pressures from long-term shrinkage, thermal expansion, contraction of the structure and seismic activity and require minimum maintenance works throughout the year.
