BLANKE HEAVY DUTY EXPANSION JOINTS are used where ceramic tile surfaces are exposed to heavy mechanical loads, such as on rollers. Made of brass, stainless steel and aluminium the expansion joints are prefabricated and permanently bonded with silicone. The material is largely resistant to alkalis, acids and conventional cleaning agents.

Place the H-D Expansion Joints according to the project specifications. Trowel the setting material over the leg making sure that there is full coverage within the perforations and along the edge of the leg.
Set the tile on the leg making sure the top of the tile is flush with the top of the Joint. Grout the surface as usual.
The BLANKE HEAVY DUTY EXPANSION JOINT is a maintanance free expansion profile for high mechanical stressed tile and natural stone floors. The system offers edge protection for floors used with floor- borne vehicles. The triangle punched fixing legs, made of brass, stain- less steel or aluminium are joined with a special movement silicone.
The edge of the flooring is protected due to the special construction of the expansion joint. It also prevents transmission of footfall and sounds from other objects.
