Wabo® Expansion Joints in Brickwork
Expansion Joints in Brickwork
In the UK clay brickwork experiences thermal expansion for up to 20 years after bricks have been moved from the kiln. Therefore, it makes sense to opt for a solution which will protect your structure for many years. Additionally, it will provide an excellent return on investment. For small joints, mastic is often used as a seemingly cheap and easy solution but this type of solution is not suitable for most commercial properties or high end domestic projects.
The range shown here is specific to our range of expansion joints specifically for use in brickwork. If you don’t see what you require here then check out the rest of our architectural range with additional filters to help find the perfect expansion joint for your project.
