High-movement Wall Joint Systems For Seismic And Structural Applications.
Seismic Wall Profiles are specialised expansion joint cover systems developed to accommodate significant structural movement caused by seismic activity, thermal expansion and building settlement. Installed across wall movement joints, they protect exposed gaps while maintaining a continuous architectural finish during multi-directional movement.
Seismic wall expansion joint covers for high-movement walls, protecting expansion joints while maintaining architectural continuity.
Building consultants, architects and contractors specify expansion joint systems through Dutco Tennant LLC for projects across the UAE and GCC, supporting commercial, healthcare, transportation and public infrastructure developments.
Developed for Seismic Wall Movement
- Accommodates large structural movement in wall joints.
- Maintains continuous wall finishes during movement.
- Protects joint edges against impact and damage.
- Supports long-term building movement requirements.
- Suitable for new construction and refurbishment.
- Reduces stress transfer between adjoining structures.
- Compatible with multiple interior wall finishes.
- Provides dependable joint protection in critical buildings.
Structural Design and Movement Control
- Aluminium Side Frames: Seismic wall expansion joint covers utilise robust aluminium profiles for structural stability.
- Sliding Cover Plate: The seismic wall joint cover moves freely across adjoining wall sections while concealing the expansion gap.
- High Movement Capacity: The building movement joint system accommodates horizontal, vertical and shear movement caused by structural displacement.
- Architectural Integration: Architectural expansion joint profiles blend with gypsum board, masonry and plaster wall systems.
- Protected Joint Assembly: The movement joint cover shields the expansion gap while maintaining unrestricted movement.
