Vexcolt has released the SeismAtec 427-A07-A09, a seismic expansion joint from the SeismAtec range designed for wall-to-wall and corner-to-wall applications where large, unpredictable movement needs to be accommodated safely. It’s built for substantial gap widths, from 100 mm up to 500 mm, and is engineered specifically for the demands of seismic activity rather than just […]
Vexcolt has added a wall-mounted variant to its FlexAtec 1000 range: the FlexAtec 1000-A07-A09, a multi-purpose seal expansion joint built for wall-to-wall and corner-wall applications. It complements the existing floor-to-floor FlexAtec 1000-A01-A02, giving specifiers a matched system that carries the same movement performance across both floor and wall junctions. The joint is constructed from closed-cell […]
Vexcolt has expanded its FireFlex line-up with four new fire-rated expansion joints: the FireFlex 2300-A01-A02, FireFlex 2300-A07-A09, FireFlex 2700-A01-A02, and FireFlex 2700-A07-A09. Together they cover floor, wall, and ceiling fire barrier applications, giving specifiers more options for controlling movement across compartment lines without compromising fire integrity. All four products are built from high-temperature refractory ceramic […]
Vexcolt has added a new joint to its waterproofing range: the AquaFlex 1600-A01-A02, an EPDM expansion joint purpose-built for locations where movement control and water resistance both matter. Unlike standard movement joints, the AquaFlex 1600 series is designed around a special coated non-woven material. This gives it excellent extension in the cross direction while remaining […]
Evaluate before you order Choosing the right expansion or movement joint for your project is a critical decision. Material compatibility, movement type, load conditions, environmental exposure — there are a lot of variables to get right. That’s why Vexcolt now offers an online request form, allowing engineers, contractors, and procurement specialists to request either a […]
To clearly illustrate the way our movement joints facilitate movement, we have created animations: horizontal, vertical, shear and rotational movement. Take a look at the products on this page (click on the icons under ‘Animation’): Product animations
The MaxAtec 100 profile can handle various movements as shown in these animations.
Finishes will often crack because no consideration has been given to the structure underlying the finishes zone.
Control joints are small gaps formed in floors and walls to allow localised movements that arise from drying shrinkage, thermal gain/loss and creep.
