EXPANSION JOINTS
SECURITY SYSTEMS
The Security Systems in case of Seismic Movements is of great importance in high-rise buildings. There is a wide variety of products that can help prevent accidents and human losses, preventing damage to structures and additional costs.
The System of Construction Joints covers a wide range of needs that arise in the construction or remodeling of buildings. Expansion Joints, Expansion Joints and TapaJunta, are the distribution we have in this area.
This product is adapted to the measures and needs of each client, covering each product with special aspects required in each project.
Special features:
The Constructive Boards have Barriers Against Fire and Water, depending on whether it is required for Internal or External use. Thanks to their manufacture with Extruded Aluminum can be used for pedestrian and vehicular traffic, light or heavy.
THE USE OF THE CONSTRUCTION JOINTS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED, WHETHER IT IS FLOORS, WALLS OR CEILING.
In parking lots, adjoining buildings or joining floors, the construction joints under our Distribution and Manufacturing offer and cover the needs that your project requires.
Committed to protecting the construction from the endless war between the buildings and Mother Nature. We protect buildings, taking into account seismic movement and the durability of our products in the face of climatic changes. Each product is specially designed for a specific area; For this reason, there is great certainty of its effectiveness, because of course, we understand that each structure is unique and represents different risks in the spaces where they are used.
These joints have a sealing system designed to meet the demands of parking lots, stadiums and other outdoor structures. The different designs and styles include systems that are waterproof, fire resistant and with the ability to withstand sudden seismic movements and inclement weather.
Fire barrier system with a resistance of 2 to 4 hours of continuous fire. The fire barrier does not leave behind the high resistance to intense seismic movement. These systems are composed of a ceramic fiber blanket, stainless steel sheet and a fire resistant fabric matrix as required to achieve protection and resistance.
Aesthetics, innovation and durability are the main hallmark of the line of joint coverage systems for floor, wall and ceiling ceilings. Professional designs that fall in love with the view from the first moment they are seen, in the colorful structures, such as tall skyscrapers, hospitals, schools, gyms and other places where safety and aesthetics must be maintained.
It offers a complete line of wall and ceiling, with joint expansion systems. An infinity of options to meet the needs of each specific project, whether they are interior, exterior, floor, wall and ceiling.
COMPRESSION SEALS
Our compression seals create clear, linear lines of vision with a patented design to eliminate ripple.
FLASHING FOR FLOOR EXPANSION
JointMaster® offers a variety of soil systems for both thermal and seismic applications.
FIRE BARRIER SYSTEMS
Fire Barrier expansion joint systems are often found below the architectural expansion joint.
EXTERNAL EXPANSION JOINTS
Protect appearances by making expansion joints disappear with our exterior joint systems.
FOAM SEALS
Foam seals are 100% weather tight, UV resistant and built to last through temperatures and extreme chemicals.
Movement, Expansion and Fire Barrier Gaskets are the forefront of the architecturally specified products we at Balco handle for you.
Fire barriers (floor and wall) The products we design in our factories are designed to cover any need that is required.
These gaskets are made with fire resistant materials for up to 4 hours, without leaving behind the protection against seismic movements.
