Mechanical Expansion Joint Covers

Full Range of Expansion Joint Covers

At Latham Australia, our engineering team has spent decades researching, designing and refining the very highest performing expansion joint covers for constructed surfaces and joinery materials.

Latham manufactures a complete range of covers for expansion joints including for floor, floor-to-wall, wall, ceiling, and roof applications.

The floor systems are supplied with either stainless steel, full aluminium, or solid brass construction to suit a variety of architectural considerations. A wholly Australian owned and manufactured product, the Latham expansion joint range is considered the go-to option for architects and builders seeking the most trusted construction products on the market.

What Are Expansion Joint Covers Used For?

Covers are used as expansion joint gap covers for areas that experience movement within structures for example in construction joints in concrete slabs. Buildings are designed to allow movement in response to various forces including thermal expansion and contraction, long-term shrinkage of structures, as well as seismic activity in some cases. The covers are installed over these areas of movement called expansion joints, which are sometimes also referred to as movement joints, structural joints, isolation joints, control joints, or seismic joints.

Latham’s mechanical expansion joints are specifically designed to suit the conditions of the Australian environment; accommodating regular thermal contraction and expansion of building materials during seasonal variation. As global temperatures rise and changes to environmental conditions become more extreme, the installation of expansion joints in buildings has become integral to the engineering design of structures built for Australian conditions.

Operating internationally for over 70 years, we also have the knowledge, expertise, experience and on-ground presence to assist in your international market, no matter where your project is located.
