To ensure reliability and durability of structure, it is necessary to equip the expansion (thermal) joints. An expansion joint is an opening within a structure, at predetermined locations, engineered to absorb movement of the structure. This is the best solution to prevent from structure element's fracturing, crack formation, etc., which are caused by movement which may be defined as:
- Thermal, caused by temperature changes within the structure;
- Windload induced, caused by high winds forcing the structure to sway;
- Seismic, which is found in seismic and mining subsidence regions (caused by earthquake activity beneath the structure or vibrations, e.g. from nearby railways or performed constructional works).
Our company offers expansion joint systems made from extruded aluminium. These systems are designed as a transition across an expansion joint opening. It is engineered to fulfill a variety of functions: fit a predetermined opening size, cover, isolate and protect joints, absorb building movements, etc. Extrusions of this system are compatible with various surface finishes and can be used as an element of exceptional interior. Expansion joint systems perfectly support a given load (floor condition) and can be used for floor's, wall's, ceiling's, flat roof's, in all kinds of structures' expansion and contraction joints, for inside or outside use.

The manufacturer's - German company's Deflex-Fugensysteme GmbH - knowledge is based on over 50 years of experience in the development of joint profiles. Quality and customer satisfaction are company's highest priorities. This is documented in the DIN EN ISO 9001 certification of company.
Expansion joint systems' resistance to loads are certified by DIN 1055 and DIN 1072 standards.
We are certain, that our customers will find the best solution in our catalogs.
