There are ample things that provide beauty and good looks to the building but before this people must also focus on the stability and base of the building. This principle is applied in every architecture because it allows the buildings to stay firm on their places.  There are many products that are available in the market to provide this stability to the architectures.

Expansion joints are one of the products that are being used in the buildings currently. There are many factors like wind speed, seismic issues and weather that effects the building and these can be prevented with the help of these joints.

There are different uses of joints and their covers and all these are provided below:

Floor joint-

The expansion joints in buildings are necessary but the floor joint covers are also necessary. These must be selected very carefully because this allows better specification standards. The main factor that has to be considered while selecting these covers is the rolling load and the hygiene. Apart from this, seismic covers and their aesthetics are also important while selecting these covers.

Ceilings and walls-

After covering the floor next comes the walls and ceilings. The selection here is simple when compared with the floor but still while selecting the seismic covers the folks can get confused easily. The main reason of confusion are the options that are available. There is a large range of covers and this can be selected on the basis of functions and aesthetics.

Stainless steel and panel joint covers are some examples and apart from these there are covers that are detachable in nature. Therefore, people can select anything in order to decrease the amount of damage.

Exterior walls-

The exterior walls face every condition and they have to be built and maintained effectively for every condition. The joints that are used in these walls get affected by the heat and the cold weather. They expand and shrink according to the climatic conditions. In these walls that joints that hold the wall panels cannot be used.

The expansion joints in buildings that can be used in these cases are thermoplastic seals. However, if the wall is covering a vast area then the wall covers that provide 0 sightline can be used. However, the flexible neoprene bellows that has galvanized flanges can also be used and the aluminum covers can be used with these bellows.

Compression and winged seals-

When it comes to joint expansions then compression seals are the best options because they handle the movements in a perfect manner. These seals are to be implemented at the desired place and water resistant sealing must be applied over it. This helps in making the compression seals better.  

Now, the winged seals are equally important as well because they are generally used in the garages and stadiums. This is because in these places the parking and wheeling takes place often. These seals are cost friendly because they can be maintained easily and that is why it is used mostly in commercial places.
