Pedestrian walkways

The role of expansion joints at floor level may seem to many to be a secondary aspect. In reality, the issue is of crucial importance: the joints, in fact, are ‘cuts’ pre-established in the design phase and artfully made that have the function of absorbing the inevitable movements of neighbouring elements in order to avoid a rapid deterioration of the floors. This type of application, given the stresses involved, is particularly delicate. The problems encountered at the design level, at the time of installation and during operation must be taken into account to the utmost.
