Prevent Cracks with Expertly Installed Movement Joints | Bristol
#Bristol #UK #structuralrepair #crackrepair
Movement joints, also known as expansion joints, are essential vertical breaks in masonry that allow for natural movement. These joints help prevent cracks and distortion in brickwork due to the shifting and settling over time. Typically, movement joints should be placed every 6 to 12m, depending on the wall's construction materials—6m for lightweight concrete blocks and up to 12m for clay bricks.
To optimise flexibility, horizontal cuts are made into the bed joints, allowing stainless-steel helical bars to be inserted. One side of the bar is bonded to the masonry, while the other is placed in a plastic sleeve, allowing for lateral movement.
Based in Bristol, ASRS proudly offers expert movement joint installation services across the region.
