Emseal's Seismic Joint System stops noise problem

Emseal Joint Systems offers non-rattling metal coverplates to eliminate noise on parking garages and roadways due to unsecure installations.

Metal coverplates which cover larger deck expansion gaps where foot or vehicular traffic will cause damage to the installed expansion joint, are often the source of sound and noise pollution when traversed.

When disturbed, the cover plate will rock or jump against the substrate which causes it to loudly rattle.

The looser the coverplate the greater the ability to rattle.

Noisy self-centering bar and coverplate joints are invasively screwed into the joint's concrete substrate so become loose over time, often shortly after installation.

It's an improperly secured coverplate that is causing the noise and rattling.

Eliminating the need to invasively anchor into the substrate will eliminate the point of failure for securing the coverplate.

Expansion joints are now manufactured and available that use a non-invasive method to hold the coverplate securely against the joint face.

The Emseal SJS Seismic Joint System has no metal anchors into the concrete.

The foam-flanked centering spline holds the plate which rides on the concrete or on Emseal's sound and impact absorbing nosing material.
