THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR flooring systems in manufacturing

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

which is an increasing demand following the legislation of governments and other
authorities to protect the environment.

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.
