Engineering Profile
Description
AlumaSpan Floor-Master is an architectural-grade, recessed expansion joint cover system designed to bridge seismic and thermal gaps between floor slabs. Constructed from high-strength extruded aluminum, this system provides a seamless, flush-mount transition that facilitates smooth pedestrian and light vehicular traffic while allowing for multi-directional structural movement.
The system features a modular design that can be customized to match various floor finishes, including tile, stone, and carpet. It is engineered to protect the underlying structural joint from debris and moisture while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of high-traffic commercial interiors and transportation hubs.
Technical Advantages
Key Features
