all C/S expansion joints are typically designed to withstand normal pedestrian traffic (for loads up to 227kgs). For any
other loading requirement we strongly recommend consultation with our Technical Department. Installation

Installation Recommendations
Bedding
It is normally necessary to apply non-shrink, self-levelling bedding compound on top of concrete floor slabs in order to provide a level,
even and structurally sound base over the entire width and length of the expansion joint cover base frame.
Fixings
Fixings for any expansion joint cover system will inevitably tend to be close to the edge of the concrete floor slab. It is therefore essential
that any fixings used should not exert an excessive sideways force, which might fracture the concrete along the side of the floor slab.
Production Design
The company reserve the right to make design changes for the purpose of product improvement, or to withdraw any design without notice.

Stock is held in lengths of 3metres. Custom lengths are available to special order. To check stock please call 01296
