Expansion Strips

The world of construction is full of marvels of engineering, but sometimes the most important elements are the ones we don’t even notice. Take expansion strips, for example. Those seemingly simple gaps in sidewalks, building floors, and driveways play a critical role in the integrity and longevity of structures. Deesawala Rubber Industries, a leading manufacturer of construction essentials, takes a closer look at these unsung heroes.

Expansion Strips: Keeping Things Moving Smoothly

Imagine a long concrete driveway on a scorching summer day. Without expansion strips, the heat-induced expansion could cause the concrete to crack. Expansion strips act as controlled gaps, absorbing this movement and preventing structural damage. They typically consist of two key parts:

• Durable Core: The heart of the strip is a high-performance elastomer, likely EPDM or Neoprene. These materials are known for their exceptional resistance to aging, weather, and chemicals, ensuring a long-lasting and flexible barrier.
• Protective Housing: Encasing the elastomer is a sturdy housing, often made of galvanized steel or PVC. This housing protects the elastomer and provides a secure fit within the concrete.

Deesawala Delivers Top-Notch Expansion Strip Solutions

Deesawala Rubber Industries goes beyond the basics, offering a wide range of expansion strips to cater to diverse construction needs:

• Variety is Key: Deesawala understands that different projects require different solutions. They offer strips in various widths and depths to accommodate the expected movement in buildings, sidewalks, roads, and more. Material options like EPDM and Neoprene ensure optimal performance in various environments.
• Watertight Seal: A secure fit between the elastomer and housing prevents water infiltration. This protects the underlying structure from water damage and potential mold growth.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: High-quality materials and a robust design minimize the need for frequent replacements or repairs, keeping maintenance costs low.
• Application-Specific Options: Deesawala offers strips designed for specific applications, such as seismic movement in earthquake-prone areas or heavy traffic areas like parking lots.
