List of featured suppliers of EXPANSION MOVEMENT JOINTS Strips: Butyl on Building Products Index
Expansion movement joints, strips, and butyl are typically used in structures to allow for slight movement due to temperature changes or settling. These joints are placed in areas where the continuous structure may cause damage or cracking if not given the necessary flexibility to shift and move. Butyl is a type of sealant that is often used to ensure that the joints remain watertight while still allowing for movement. These components are important for the long-term durability and safety of the structure.
