Depending on your needs, the angles can be visible or invisible for a more aesthetic finish.

How to install a wall or facade expansion joint?

Installing an expansion joint between 2 concrete walls is quick and easy.

2. Position the two aluminum side plates on either side of the facade expansion joint. Spacing can be adjusted with small pieces of insert.
3. Drill the holes. Diameter and depth will vary according to substrate and screw type.
4. Vacuum supports and holes. Insert dowels and screws.

Waterproofing expansion joint

VED’EPDM waterproofing membrane is used to seal walls, facades and ceiling expansion joint. It is installed after the firestop solution, if required, and before the expansion joint cover. It is fixed in an omega shape on either side of the expansion joint, using our MS adhesive. To ensure a perfect seal between floor, walls and ceilings, a minimum 150mm rise is required between floor and walls, and walls and ceilings.

How to hide a ceiling expansion joint?

Ceiling expansion joints are a continuation of wall and floor expansion joints. Our expansion joint profiles provide an aesthetically pleasing finish, protect the joint so as not to affect movement, and ensure safe passage for pedestrians and vehicles on the floor. All JDV products can be installed on walls, facades and ceilings. The installation method is the same as above. Depending on the opening and expected movements, you will find the ceilng, wall and façade expansion joint perfectly suited to your configuration.
