Applications• Architectural Expansion Joints: Since 1969 CS has been responsible for almost every major expansion joint innovation in commercial construction. As the industry leader, CS experience in standard and seismic architectural Expansion Joint technologhy is unparalleled. Architects can select from hundreds of standard and custom expansion joint systems. That’s why CS Expansion Joints can be found on many of the World’s most prestigious projects.
• Car Park and Stadium Expansion Joints: CS has been the leader in architectural expansion joints for over 35 years. Bringing our knowledge of movement to the car park industry 8 years ago. CS has since introduced several innovative Expansion Joint designs that have significantly enhanced car park construction. From the exclusive Zip Block™ seal that installs in half the time of elastomeric seals to seismic metal expansion joints designed to stand up under continual dynamic wheel loads. All CS car park expansion joints are designed to eliminate the problem associated with old style systems. Our Zip Block™ minimizes water penetration so common with old systems.
• Expansion Joints for Fire Barriers: Because fire is an ever-present danger, the chimney effect at unprotected expansion joints may actually advance the spread. For this reason, CS has developed three fire barrier systems designed to be used with any of our expansion joints. All systems have been tested at Underwriters Laboratories and are UL® Classified and labeled.
