Expansion Control Joints

 
 
Mortarloc Expansion Joints are designed for thick-bed (mortar style) installations as opposed to thin-bed installations where Batex is primarily used. 
 
Mortarloc is manufactured using 2 side plates, generally 1.2mm in thickness sandwhiching a Neoprene infill inbetween.
 
The thickness of the side plates is normally determined by the metal being used, and the subsequent installation surrounds and scenario. Thicker or thinner plates can be used on request.
 
The oustanding feature of Mortarloc Expansion Joints, is that unlike other available materials, ther eare no separate anchors required to hold the joints in place, and are simply bent out to 45 degrees duirng installation, holding them in the mortar bed.
 
Mortarloc and Batex Expansion Joints are not mechanical movement joints and should only be installed where limited movement within the floor covering is expected.
 
One of the major reasons for movement is temperature fluctuation caused by either seasonal change, failure or disconnection of airconditioning systems within closed buildings or sudden downpours in tropical locations. All of which may result in thermal expansion or contraction between .008mm per metre per degree centigrade temperature fluctuation, For basic calculations an average factor of .006mm per metre per degree centigrade is acceptable.
