WHAT ARE EXPANSION JOINTS?
Expansion joints are commonly used in buildings to accommodate the movement that naturally occurs due to changes in temperature, moisture, and other environmental factors. These joints are designed to allow for the expansion and contraction of building materials without causing damage or structural problems. Expansion joints are typically installed in areas where two different materials meet, such as where a concrete slab meets a brick wall, or where a building’s foundation meets the walls. They can also be installed in large open spaces, such as atriums or hallways, to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the flooring. The installation of expansion joints involves creating a gap between the two materials that will allow for movement. The gap is then filled with a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, that can stretch and compress as needed.
Beverly has the expertise to install all types of expansion joints: vertical, horizontal, fire-rated, and non-fire rated. Beverly caulkers are trained to understand the characteristics and installation procedures for each application. Firestop and smoke seal expansion joints are critical for maintaining the integrity of fire-rated barriers and protecting occupants in the event of a fire.
Beverly is one of few companies that provide these applications. We take pride in our thorough training and the skill set of our staff.
