Retrofit expansion joints for renovation projects
Replacing an expansion joint in an existing building usually means breaking out the floor finish to make a recess. Vexcolt’s surface-mounted retrofit joints avoid that: they fix on top of the existing finish, with low profiles that keep the transition smooth.
For floors
- MaxAtec 135-A01/A02: surface-mounted retrofit floor joint with an EPDM seal and smooth surface, for 25 and 50 mm gaps, 12 or 20 mm high. ADA compliant.
- MaxAtec 135-V01/V02: the retrofit version for vinyl floors, with a raised TPE seal for a seamless finish. 25 and 50 mm gaps, 11 or 20 mm high.
- MegAtec 322-A01/A02: surface-mounted aluminium joint for larger gaps, from 25 mm up to 200 mm, only 20 mm high, with high movement capacity and a hairline serrated surface for slip resistance.
For walls
- MaxAtec 135-A07/A09: retrofit wall joint with a smooth surface, for 25 and 50 mm gaps, just 9 mm deep, with fire barrier options up to 240 minutes.
All are rated to ASTM E-1399 Class I (thermal) and Class II (wind) and come with seals in a choice of colours.
