buildings. Their application can be used in
almost all project types in an urban space:
́ Manufacturing Industry (automotive, elec-
tronics, assembly plants, chemicals, etc.)
́ Life Science Industry (food and beverage,
pharmaceuticals, professional laborato-

FOR PRODUCTION AND

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR flooring systems in manufacturing
facilities are generally in the production areas. These floors not only have
to withstand severe exposure, including mechanical, chemical and thermal
stresses, but also need to provide the right degree of slip resistance to
meet health and safety requirements.

The Sikafloor® systems applied in production areas are based generally require a higher degree of slip-resistance, which
predominantly on Cement, Epoxy and Polyurethane resin must also be easily cleaned, and yet be resistant to the water
technologies, which are developed in our laboratories from and any chemical exposure. In the production areas of the

Sika® FloorJoint
Hardly any vibrations noticeable and quick return to service

Sika® FloorJoint – THE ULTIMATE JOINT SOLUTION


Structures are designed with expansion and contraction joints
at appropriate places to allow inevitable movements. The
design of the joint is important for the overall design to func-
tion correctly. Sika provides a huge range of elastic joint seal-
ants to seal and protect joints in walls and ceilings. However,
joints in floor substrates have to withstand a lot of different
stress: direct traffic with heavy forklifts or cars, chemical
attacks and mechanical abrasion, etc. Often a floor joint also
has to be waterproof to protect the substrate from corro-
sion. Ordinary joint solutions with a joint sealant or with metal
profiles aren’t resistant enough to withstand this stress and
might fail after a short time.
The Sika® FloorJoint range is designed to meet those demands
under various exposures. Furthermore Sika® FloorJoint
provides many unprecedented advantages.

Furthermore, in modern buildings, esthetics and noise reduc-
tion play an increasingly important role. Traditional metal
solutions have clear limits in cases where a complicated joint
line is present, or when noise reduction is required. Here the Sika® FloorJoint EX
Sika® FloorJoint PD joint panel proves its strengths. The
carbon fiber reinforced polymer concrete prefabricated panel
fits seamlessly and virtually invisibly to the adjacent resin
coverings.
 In areas where ramps and floors connect, vertical movement
in joints can occur. Also, greater vertical joint movement can
be caused by long floor slabs. In such cases Sika® FloorJoint
PDRS is the perfect solution. The concentric incorporated
rubber seal allows for more movement and protects the joint
and Sikadur-Combiflex® system from damage.
Parking lot top decks are mostly uncovered. Due to the
temperature delta from summer to winter we have to expect
higher elongation of the concrete screed than in covered
parking decks or underground parking lots. The value of joint
movement has to be calculated by the engineer, which then
indicates the right choice between Sika® FloorJoint PD or Sika® FloorJoint S
PDRS. Normally Sika® FloorJoint PDRS is more suitable for
outdoor application due to its higher absorption of movement.

HEAVY FORKLIFT TRAFFIC IN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS


Floor joints in industrial areas equipped with conventional
steel profiles or only with a joint sealant are subject to heavy
loads when they are driven over by forklifts. Such joints are
never absolutely flat and they can cause noise, vibration and
impact on wheel bearings. This causes the forklifts to suffer
and can contribute to high wear of parts. When transporting
fragile or sensitive goods, it is crucial to avoid vibrations so as
not to damage them. The Sika® FloorJoint S, -XS and -EX joint
systems are the perfect solutions. The prefabricated, carbon
fiber reinforced polymer concrete profile can be installed
absolutely flat. Only the joint sealant may be slightly raised.
Its wavelike joint design permits improved load distribution. Sika® FloorJoint XS
The result is a noiseless and nearly vibration-free ride suitable
for all kinds of forklifts. In areas where goods are transported
with AGVs (automatic guided vehicles) or air cushion transport
systems, requirements are met for evenness and less vibra-
tion with Sika® FloorJoint.
 
SMALLER JOINTS IN VIBRATION SENSITIVE AREAS
Hospital corridors, professional kitchens, precision mechanical
industry and many other application fields also need abso-
lutely flat floors and can’t accept vibrations when rolling over
joints. Imagine a hospital bed with an injured patient getting
shaken each time when rolling over a defective floor joint or
if a trolley full of parts for exclusive clockwork judders over
every floor joint. In such areas the temperature is stable and

concrete substrate which doesn’t have yet ideal condition The floor finishes are
usually done under time pressure. If you have to wait until the ideal conditions
(pull-off strength 1.5 N/mm2) and humidity (<4 % pbv) in the concrete slab are
achieved, then most flooring materials require a waiting time of at least 28 days,
according to their data sheets and the respective standards.

You can cut this waiting time significantly by using the unique intermediate layers Sikafloor®-81 or -82 EpoCem®. These can be
applied directly onto the new concrete after just 7 to 10 days and also directly on concrete substrates recently prepared by high
pressure water-jetting, in refurbishment works for example. The benefit is substantial.
