Floor joints

Floor joints are often subject to movement due to varying causes. Examples include expansion and shrinkage because of transport loads (forklifts, lorries), but also the weather or fluctuations in temperature.

Common applications include:

• Industrial floors (production halls, warehouses)
• Public spaces (railway stations, pedestrian zones, shopping centres)
• Car parks
• Specific projects (petrol stations, barns)

Important requirements for floor joint sealants are excellent bonding (to concrete or aluminium for example) and high elasticity. For specific projects, chemical resistance (to fuels or cleaning products) or drivability (transport) can be relevant as well. Soudal offers numerous quality solutions for floor joint projects.
