Fire Rated Floor Expansion Joints

The dih series is designed for expansion joint openings with the ability to provide a smooth and virtually impact free transition between opposing floor surfaces in addition to accommodating heavy rolling loads and multi directional seismic movement.

Fire rated floor expansion joints. Per current building codes these joint assemblies must be tested at an. Blanket type fire barrier for floor and wall expansion joints. Floor expansion joint covers fire rated systems. We ve designed our systems to fit any project s needs and provide superior protection to keep the threat contained.

This means if the joint occurs in a 2 hour rated floor assembly the expansion joint system used to fill the joint must also be rated for 2 hours. Nystrom s fire rated deck compression seal is a silicone bellow system designed with a 2 hour fire retardant saturated foam. Fire barriers are a critical component of building safety solutions. An expansion joint that runs through a building may interrupt a fire rated assembly.

Fb 17 has been tested and proven to provide up to 3 hour fire endurance rating for floor joints and up to 2 hour rating for wall joints minimizing smoke passage. Available in 10 lengths and engineered for simple splicing. Emseal s manufacturing plants are open and operating at full capacity. Fire rated expansion joints that waterproof insulate block sound handle traffic and movement in a single product.

Often this is a government or authority requirement. The main difference between fire barriers and fire stops is the allowance for movement. Balco fire barriers protect expansion joint openings by dynamically continuing the fire rated construction design elements throughout the structural separation allowing for thermal wind and seismic movements and for fire ratings up to 4 hours. Lateral shear movement option available.

It is watertight fire rated and has a dual sided primary seal for both new and retrofit structural expansion joints in parking deck applications. Expansion joints and construction sealants. When these joints occur in a fire rated floor or wall a product or system must be used that has been rated to that same level. To maintain the integrity of the interrupted fire rated assembly and prevent the spread of fire a fire barrier or fire stop should be used.

Building expansion joint slab and wall openings inherently create a pathway for fire and smoke to travel through. The dual interlocking center slide plates are hinged to allow the system to remain flush with finished floor surface. Expansion joint covers and sealants for the built environment. Dual interlocking hinge series.

Waterproof fire rated trafficable sound attenuating insulating air wind seismic and watertight building expansion joints and precompressed hybrid sealants. Our industry leading fireline 520 expansion joint fire barrier products provide protection for 2 3 and 4 hour rated conditions.
