ConvexCover is a durable and reliable interior floor expansion joint system capable of accomodating multi-directional thermal movement and vertical slab offsets.
FastWrap System provides a choice of models, each of which consists of a variety of multi-cellular elastomeric seals which easily snap-lock into aluminum edge retainers designed for walls and ceilings.
Wabo®SeisMaxPlus blends its seismic functional features into an aesthetically pleasing “No-Bump” system that has no exposed metal. The system stays flush during thermal movement and operational during seismic movement. But unlike other joints that deform when seismic motion exceeds their capabilities.
Durable seismic control system for wide openings for interior and exterior wall, ceiling and soffit applications for openings up to 24 inches. Models WFT, WFX
Wabo®CompressionSeal is a field-proven product that includes colorable Santoprene (WE series) seals. The WE profiles are ideal for high pedestrian traffic areas where color matching to adjacent surfaces is desirable.
Wabo® SeismicWeatherSeal is a pre-compressed elastomeric coated expansion joint that works under its own constant internal pressure to provide a permanent weather tight seal eliminating costly water damage to occur.BR>
Elastomeric weather tight seismic control system for interior, exterior - wall, ceiling and soffit applications for openings up to 24 inches. Model WSW.
Field proven under the toughest bridge conditions everywhere in the world, the Wabo®Modular joint system is made to order in accordance with the highest fabrication standards and can be engineered to meet a variety of conditions and movement requirements.
Crete StripSeal System is an innovative and effective method for restructuring failed joint headers or installation of expansion joints on new construction projects.
CreteFabroSpan expansion joint system incorporates the primary features of WaboFabroSpan with WaboCrete II elastomeric concrete to provide a heavey duty expansion joint system.
Field proven under the toughest bridge conditions everywhere in the world, the Wabo®Modular joint system is made to order in accordance with the highest fabrication standards and can be engineered to meet a variety of conditions and movement requirements.
Crete FlexFoam armorless expansion joint systems designed with closed-cell foam joint seals installed with epoxy adhesive between an impact absorbing elastomeric concrete header.
Air inflated elastomeric profile epoxy bonded to substrate for horizontal expansion control conditions. Watertight system easily accommodates
complex miters for openings up to 4 inches. Model W, FW
CompressionSeal Bridge Series seals are preformed neoprene compression seals which allow you to effectively seal expansion joints with field proven 30 years of experience.
Wabo® HSeal is a pre-compressed elastomeric coated expansion joint system designed to provide a permanent weather tight seal. Primarily used in horizontal applications, the system is sealed in place with an epoxy, which allows it to accommodate horizontal, vertical, and skew expansion joint movements.
CompressionSeal Pavement Series seals are preformed neoprene compression seals which are typically used in concrete roadways, airport and apron runways as well as bridge applications.
Wabo®TransFlex is the original-reinforced elastomeric molded rubber expansion joint system. All sections feature tongue and groove fittings for tight end-to-end mating across decks and at curbs and are steel reinforced.
Wabo®SafetyFlex is an elastomeric hinged cover system that is ideal for pedestrian walkway areas as well as in low-speed vehicular traffic areas. Independent metal plates integral to the rubber cover allows the system to flex in response to changes in vertical displacement between opposing slabs.
Wabo®ElastoPatch is a ambient cured unique modified elastomeric concrete material for repair of random cracks and spalls in existing Portland cement concrete pavement.
The industry’s original and most specified elastomeric concrete system, Wabo®Crete Membrane is a high performance joint sealing system specifically designed to meet the unique demands of parking structures.
Fire barrier system that has been designed to provide the required fire endurance rating, minimize passage of smoke and accommodate dynamic movement without stress or degradation to its components.
Wabo®FlameGuard II is a factory assembled fire barrier system that has been designed to provide the required fire endurance rating, minimize passage of smoke and accommodate dynamic movement without stress or degradation to its components. VFG.
Wabo®ElastoPatch is a ambient cured unique modified elastomeric concrete material for repair of random cracks and spalls in existing Portland cement concrete pavement.
Wabo®GelAdhesive is a rapid curing, epoxy based, gel adhesive used to bond rubber seal and foam based products to concrete and steel substrates. The product is packaged in side by side cartridges, which allows the product to be mixed via a static mixing tip and applied with a dual cartridge application gun.
