An elastomeric concrete nosing, WaboCrete® Parking Series is a highly capable, two-component polyurethane nosing material with a specialty aggregate, 100% solids material for use in exterior construction environments. WaboCrete Parking Series absorbs traffic impact loads and evenly disperses them into the deck, while allowing the system to flex…
A watertight expansion joint, the DSM System is for horizontal-plane deck applications. Traffic durable, joint-face adhered and precompressed, DSM System is a primary seal for deck expansion joints. DSM’s toughness and resilience come from its microsphere-modified-acrylic impregnation and tensionless highway-grade silicone bellows coating. The system is comprised of 1) pre-compressed,…
A wall expansion joint, Seismic Colorseal is a silicone-coated, precompressed primary seal for high-movement wall joints. Seismic Colorseal ensures watertightness in vertical-plane structural, seismic, and abutment joints in almost any substrate.. Continuity of seal and continuity of thermal insulation throughout changes in plane and direction are hallmarks of…
A roof expansion joint, RoofJoint is a patented dual-seal, double-flanged, extruded thermoplastic rubber system for sealing expansion joints in roofs, plaza assemblies, green and vegetative roofs. Watertightness is achieved through positive integration with the roofing membrane and a purpose-designed system for transitioning between the joint in the roof…
An acoustic joint filler, QuietJoint is a mass-loaded sound, draft, heat, cold, and dust blocking acoustic partition closure and joint filler for interior, non-moving joints and gaps.It is a non-mechanical, high-STC (Sound Transmission Class), non-invasively anchored closure that quickly and easily mates partitions to windows, mullions, or stud walls.…
Aluminum cover profile with stainless steel spring clips very long durability Secure and permanent fixing using stainless steel spring clips Quick and easy installation
A joint sealing system for EIFS, precast, concrete, and virtually any substrate, SafeReseal® by Sika Emseal is a safer, grindless, dustless, quiet, primerless, tensionless, paintable, retrofit joint sealant that installs over old sealant residue without the requirement for grinding to completely remove old sealant. SafeReseal can also be…
Expansion joint transitions are essential for ensuring a sealed, safe, and energy efficient building envelope. Continuity of seal at changes in plane and direction, and between expansion joint systems, is achieved when factory-fabricated transition assemblies are specified and installed. The image library on this page provides examples of…
A submerged expansion joint, Submerseal is a water resistant, joint-face-adhered, precompressed, primary seal for retrofit and new structural expansion joints and construction joints where continuous or intermittent immersion or contact with chlorinated water, saline water, potable water, and certain effluent concentrations is planned. Featuring an arched silicone-bellows sealing…
A horizontal expansion joint, Horizontal Colorseal ensures watertightness in structural, seismic, and abutment joints in non-trafficked decks of cast-in-place, precast or post-tensioned concrete. It combines a factory-applied and cured silicone bellows with a hydrophobic-acrylic-impregnated expanding foam sealant backing. It is watertight, odorless, clean handling, UV stable, non-staining, low…
