Floor Expansion Joint Systems at Central Highlands Marketplace
Central Highlands Marketplace is the major shopping destination in Emerald, Queensland. Opened in 2012, the premier mall houses two major tenancies: Woolworths Supermarket, and Big W, the first full line discount department store in the region. In addition, over 30 other specialty stores have been opened to serve the community.
Unison Joints is proud to be one of the contractors approved by all majors for the $60-million development of Central Highlands Marketplace. Enlisted by Fabcot, the team worked in conjunction with main contractor Construction Engineering, and architect Thomson Adsett towards laying out the floor expansion joint system throughout the premises.
A wide range of coverplate systems was utilised for the project, including heavy duty aluminium, brass expansion joints systems, stainless steel coverplates, and the DzMF Type system.

In total, Unison Joints installed 440m of cover plate systems at Central Highlands Marketplace. Here is the complete list of products:
1. Fx CST - Fx CST is a thermally dynamic floor cover plate system, offering high capacity and accommodation for movement from all directions. It is designed with composite c-bars, with anodised alloy extrusions for optimum corrosion resistance,and stainless steel coverplates. There is little to no upkeep needed.
2. ByC - ByC is a an extra heavy-duty expansion joint system which employs a square-edge design on coverplate and base-housing edges to minimize loaded stock-trolley-wheel impact. This design was first introduced for retractable seating on the floors of convention centres; and has since proven it's worth.
3. DzMF - DzMF is a low-profile, 2-piece aluminium floor expansion joint cover for use in slab-on-ground applications for integration with vinyl floor tiles. It can also be applied adjacent to commercial vinyl or even packed up to finish flush with ceramic tiles. The DzMF is most commonly used on supermarket floors.
4. UBC75 - UBC75 is a solid brass extruded expansion joint cover system. Much like the FxC range, this brass EJ was used prolifically in Big W, Coles and Woolworths. As modern architectural taste has developed the system has been replaced by FxC and FxCS type expansion joints.
