Steel Floor Expansion Joints: When to Choose Steel over Aluminium
Aluminium covers 90% of cases — but extreme point loads call for steel. DSeal manufactures steel floor expansion joints for the heaviest duty applications. Engineered for Indian climate, loads and seismic conditions, DSeal systems are specified by leading architects, structural consultants and PMCs across the country.
What Makes It Different
- MS and SS options for extreme wheel loads
- Ideal where solid-tyre forklifts operate
- Tread-plate surfaces for grip
- Engineered anchorage into the slab
- Hybrid steel-aluminium designs available
The selection rule is simple: if solid polyurethane wheels above 3 tonnes cross the joint daily, specify steel; otherwise T6 aluminium gives better value and corrosion behaviour.
