High Movement Carpark Expansion Joints in Brisbane from Unison Joints

Unison Joints is the most trusted innovators and providers of high performing carpark expansion joints in Austral-Asia. The Queensland-based company takes satisfaction in designing and manufacturing building expansion joints that conform to various national and international standards.

The Role of Carpark Expansion Joints

In buildings with suspended slabs, and a large footprint, structural elements that form carparks are generally susceptible to movement, both during and after construction. Carpark expansion joints are carefully designed to accommodate such movements caused by temperature variation, shrinkage, wind and seismic activity. In addition, and in an effort to maximize space, the roof in shopping centres (and other buildings) is often used as a carpark.

The culmination of a well-designed carpark is measured in its structural and architectural intention, as well as the ability to provide safety, security and avert premature structural deterioration. Carparks demand excellent resistance to such influences for everyday traffic use.

Parking spaces for all major establishments, such as shopping centres, office buildings, hospitals, stadiums, airports, and other terminals, and apartments - need to cater for not just vehicular traffic - but also pedestrians, shopping trolleys, luggage trolleys, prams and other forms of traffic.

Designer Range Streamlined Minimalist Designs

Carpark Expansion Joint

Dz FTAq is a polyethylene foam waterseal, specially formulated for high movement and flexibility. It is easy to install and guarantees 100% waterproof seal for stadium-plats and rooftop carparks. Combined with a pedestrian-friendly rubber tread piece (DzFT), the foam seal negates the need for surface-mount plates that may increase trip hazards, work loose and present noise. The DzFT/AqP combination is a good, cost-efficient, yet watertight choice for undercover carparks.

Brawny Robust Carpark Expansion Joints and Covers

ByN/AqP carpark expansion joint

ByN/AqP utilises the existing AqP polyethylene seal to form a 100% watertight seal. This simple but innovative system can accommodate multi-directional movement, as well as "differential-vertical"movement. ByN/AqP carpark expansion joints are easy to install and provide a seamless integration into a buildings' design.

The ByN's housings are extruded from high-grade 6061 T6 aluminium, which is anodized for corrosion-resistance and a neat finish. These extrusions have knurled flutes to provide a slip-resistance rating of P4, according to AS4586. The flexible pad has a minimum MPa (3rd party engineered) compressive strength to ensure cantilever is supported. Aquo-P is a time tested seal. It doesn't rely on the (ByN) housing-extrusions for watertightness. It is, therefore reliable in those tricky areas where upturning aluminium is too difficult.

Aquo Water-Resistant/Waterproof

Waterproof Carpark Joint

Aq P is a specially formulated polyethylene foam that utilises simple, high-quality welding technology that guarantees 100% water tightness. It is reinforced with UV inhibitors for an improved durability. Aq P is suitable for most types of construction, such as internal and external expansion joint waterproofing in multi-storey and rooftop car parks.
