Aluminium
The MSM Seismic Series wall and ceiling expansion joint covers are designed for installation in walls and ceilings. The series is designed to accommodate normal thermal movement of the day-to-day requirements of the structure while accommodating extreme multidirectional movement during seismic events.

On request, Latham can have the cover plates anodised or powder coated to aesthetically harmonize with the installed location or the cover plate can be painted once it is installed on site.
