Roof expansion joints
Aluminium or stainless-steel roof joints are designed to protect the joints and to ensure their watertightness even during large seismic movements. Roof expansion joint covers can absorb large three-dimensional movements and they, thus, ensure the free movement of structures while providing a watertight roof. This prevents structures from colliding and ensures the durability of the structures and the safety of everyone. Our range of roof expansion joint also includes a special nitrile expansion joint to be connected directly to the general bituminous sheet waterproofing system. All our roof joints are compatible with our VEDAFEU fire protection systems.

A roof expansion joint is an architectural product designed to reduce stress on the structure of your building (shopping centre, stadium…)
by adjusting to any movement that the building experiences. Buildings aren’t always still and can move for many reasons, including due to heavy traffic, earth shifting, the weather, sway caused by the wind or many other factors.
While this movement isn’t necessarily a problem for your establishment, if your roof doesn’t have the right structure, then this could put pressure on it and cause damage to the roofing stability. Roof expansion joints are an effective way to reduce pressure on the roof and improve its durability.
Also known as roof expansion joint covers, expansion joints help to facilitate movement in the roof without causing damage to the waterproofing membrane or any other roofing materials, such as tiles. This means that the roof lasts longer. The expansion joint is an empty space, free of movement in the roof, and roof expansion joint covers go over the gap to help cover it and allow the roof to move when required. These essential roofing materials are used in large structures (shopping malls, universities, stadiums, etc.).
Roof expansion joints can be made from a range of materials, but stainless steel or aluminium are popular because they’re long-lasting and will protect the structure from movement created by the environment.
