COSINUS SLIDE® expansion joint

COSINUS SLIDE® sinusoidal expansion joints are the best expansion profiles on the market, guaranteeing comfortable and trouble-free use of the floor for years.

Sinusoidal expansion joints created on the basis of Sinus Slide® technology are a brilliant solution that has completely revolutionized the market for concrete industrial floors. By creating a sinusoidal form of the expansion joint, the passage through such expansion joints of industrial floors is not only free from shocks, but also from the slightest vibrations. This comfort is maintained even at the maximum 2 cm opening of the connector. Sinusoidal expansion joints ensure uninterrupted support of the wheels during the passage. As a result, the operator gets the impression of a total lack of expansion joints in the floor.

The design eliminates the cause of dilatation damage, floors along the expansion joints and forklift wheels - because it eliminates the straight dilatation gap into which the wheels of passing forklifts fell with impetus.

Eliminating the impact of wheels on the edges of concrete slabs when passing through the joint primarily affects the durability of the floor. Thanks to this solution, we eliminate the cause of damage to expansion joints, concrete along expansion joints, forklift wheels and transported shock-sensitive goods, including glass, electronic, food and similar goods.

COSINUS SLIDE® sinusoidal expansion joints mean that even forklifts with very small wheels will not feel the moment of passing through the gap. No damage to expansion joints and floors along expansion joints save money and time on expensive and difficult repairs.

Sinus Slide^® technology, is not only a sinusoidal expansion joint, but also a sinusoidal concrete-steel border with a characteristic sinusoidal shape - this is the solution found inCOSINUS SLIDE^®profiles and in the precursor -HC-Delta SINUS Slide^®.

The idea of opposed waves at the top and bottom in COSINUS SLIDE^®profiles is the first such dilatation solution eliminating the need for load-bearing dowels. Load transfer is not realized by the joint (with dowels) but by the floor itself, realizing the best load transfer system ever.

With these profiles, the racking system can be placed just next to the expansion joints.

The latest model of sinus expansion joint - COSINUS SLIDE^® is a combination of the patented technology Sinus Slide^® with the concept of superposition of the two sinus wave SINUS-COSINUS^® eliminating load-bearing dowels.

The floor itself carries the load, assuming the function of expansion joints.

Thanks to the SINUS-COSINUS^®geometrical shaped form of the joint and the concrete, load transfer is not realized by the joint (with dowels) but by the floor itself.

The loads are transferred simultaneously and proportionally throughout and over the floor by those vertical Concrete Columns shaped and supported by the SINUS-COSINUS^®geometry. Passing wheels and loads pass gently from one floor plate to another, despite the lack of traditional dowel system.

That’s why we say: the joint is the floor, the floor is the joint.

Don't wait for damage and trouble. Start wisely! and save yourself trouble in the future. Remember! SAVINGS ARE EXPENSIVE
