Seismic Ceiling Expansion Joint from Unison Joints

As an important architectural requirement in modern building constructions, ceiling expansion joints continue to undergo technological refinement and advanced engineering development. In this regard, architectural solutions expert, and joint systems manufacturer, and supplier, Unison Joints Pty Ltd introduces Vertos C Thermoplastic Seal Expansion Joints for Ceilings (Vt C), a high-performing ceiling-to-ceiling expansion joint system with an integrated capabilities to accommodate and withstand structural movements.

Vt C is part of Unison Joints' Vertos product series, an array of joint system solutions for various architectural applications that also include wall-to-ceiling expansion joints. An advanced and highly innovative control joints system, Vt C has high movement capability and is designed to provide buildings and structures with a solid buffer and flexibility against any seismic activity as well as thermal contraction and expansion.

Vt C Expansion Joint System: Composition, Features, and Applications

Unison Joints' ceiling expansion joint system is 4.8 metres in length, and is made up of combined elements of extruded-aluminium retainers and extruded thermoplastic cover. Colour options are available for the thermoplastic cover. Both applicable for indoor and outdoor applications, the Vt C expansion joint system is also integrable with most types of ceiling finishes, and can be modified and repurposed as a ceiling-to-wall (VtCW) application. The system is UV-stable and supports a multidirectional movement. Due to the thermoplastic component of the joint expansion system, the high-performance Santoprene is the ideal primary seal.
