Expansion joints supply and installation in Dubai

We supply and install floor, wall and roof expansion joint systems, including fire-rated joints that keep compartment lines intact while the structure moves.


01 — Scope

Room to move. No gaps in protection.

Buildings move with temperature, loads and settlement. Expansion joints take that movement without cracking finishes, letting in water or breaking the fire rating across the gap.

01

Floor expansion joints

Joint covers for floors in car parks, podiums, corridors and lobbies.

02

Wall and ceiling joints

Joint covers for internal and external walls and ceilings.

03

Roof expansion joints

Watertight joints for roofs and podium decks.

04

Fire-rated expansion joints

Joints with fire barriers that keep the compartment rating across the gap.

05

Shop drawings and submittals

Joint layouts, details and material submittals for consultant approval.

02 — Technical detail

How we get it right.

Choosing the right system

The system depends on the joint width, the movement expected, the traffic over it and whether it needs to be watertight or fire-rated. We select each system from the structural movement data and the finishes.

Fire rating across the gap

Where a joint crosses a compartment line, a fire barrier inside the joint keeps the rating. We install the barrier and the cover as one tested assembly.

Keeping water out

Roof and podium joints are detailed with the waterproofing so the membrane and the joint form one continuous barrier.

Set out early

Joint positions and recesses are set out with the structure and finishes, so the joint sits flush and works as designed.

03 — Approach

A clear path from enquiry to handover.

  1. Review

    We study your drawings, specifications and fire or building strategy, then issue a clear scope and quotation.

  2. Submit

    Material submittals, method statements and shop drawings go to the consultant for approval.

  3. Execute

    Trained teams install to the approved system and the inspection and test plan.

  4. Hand over

    As-built records, inspection sign-offs and documents ready for authority approval.
