What is an isolation joint?
Also known as expansion joints, isolation joints separate slabs from fixed objects like walls and columns so that slabs can move independently of other parts of the structure. Isolation joints permit vertical and horizontal movement between the slab and any fixed objects that the slab abuts. The isolation joint material must be compressible and thick enough to allow such movement. To learn more, click here to setup an in-house workshop for you and your design staff.
