Expansion Joint FAQs
Does my Houston building need expansion joints?
Big commercial buildings are susceptible to movements that would cause damage to rigid materials like masonry or concrete surfaces. Expansion joints allow these materials to move, expand and contract without causing damage to nearby surfaces.
Should you replace expansion joints?
Most expansion joints are filled with caulks, foam or fibrous materials that absorb movement. Expansion joints need to be replaced every 10 years or so. At Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing, we can repair or replace damaged, worn or missing expansion joints, restoring the look of your commercial building.
What types of expansion joints do you install?
We have extensive experience with all types of structural and architectural expansion joints. Our teams install, repair and replace split-slab, solid-slab and plaza expansion joints, interior wall expansion joints, and exterior wall expansion joints for brick, block, concrete and masonry wall surfaces.
We source expansion joint materials from many top industry manufacturers to provide our customers with the best products.
What are fire-rated expansion joints?
Fire-rated expansion joints allow adjacent materials to expand or contract while creating a seal between the materials. If a fire occurs, flames, smoke and toxic gases can’t travel from room to room through the expansion joints. Fire-rated expansion joints must have the same fire rating as surrounding materials so they can maintain the seal for as long as possible.
