Permaban BETAEXPANSION galvanized steel expansion joint

BetaExpansion expansion joint with foam is an ideal formwork system for external applications such as concrete outdoor squares or access roads. Made of durable galvanized steel resistant to weather conditions with pre-installed compressible foam allows the joint to expand or contract once in place depending on temperature. It's also a leave-in-place formwork system allowing you to stop concreting at a convenient time. Ensure load transfer between adjacent concrete slabs with plate dowels. Supplied in 2.4m lengths as standard.

The construction consists of two 2 mm galvanized divider plates and compressible 10mm thick foam mounted between them. Both divider plates are folded at the whole length, bottom and top, and the folds are perforated to provides reliable anchoring of sheets in concrete, increases strength and rigidity of expansion joints by limiting their "twisting". The pre-installed compressible foam allows the joint to expand or contract once in place. At the customer's request, it is possible to order a profile with thicker foam - 20mm.

Expansion profiles are characterized by 12 mm protection of the edges of concrete slabs on both sides of the joint. Radiused edges on the top inside corners help reduce damage to forklift wheels. The sharp edge on the inside top face of each hole helps ensure a neat finish when trowelling-in.

The length of one profile is 2.4m. Can be cut at any point without compromising strength. Profiles are available with load transfer TD plate dowels. There are three dowel thicknesses to choose from: TD6 - 6mm TD8 - 8mm to TD10 - 10mm thick.

It's also a leave-in-place formwork system allowing you to stop concreting at a convenient time.
