Description
Expansion joints are essential components in modern building design, as they allow structures to accommodate dimensional changes caused by temperature fluctuations, humidity variations, dynamic loads, and seismic events. However, in the event of a fire, these separation points can become potential pathways for the spread of flames, smoke, and heat, compromising the building’s fire compartmentation.

However, in the event of a fire, these separation points can become potential pathways for the spread of flames, smoke, and heat, compromising the building’s fire compartmentation.
Global Building expansion joint solutions are designed to provide high fire resistance performance, ensuring continuity of passive fire protection between adjacent building elements and helping to maintain compartment integrity.
The performance of linear joint seals is determined in accordance with EN 1366-4, "Fire resistance tests for service installations – Part 4: Linear joint seals."
The standard includes specific testing procedures for:
Linear joints not subject to movement.
Linear joints subject to dimensional changes before a fire occurs.
Linear joints subject to movement during fire exposure.
Load-bearing linear joints between façades and floors.
Global Building solutions are suitable for applications where joints are exposed to movement caused by:
Thermal expansion and contraction.
Humidity variations.
Variable structural loads.
Wind actions.
Seismic events.
Global Building linear joint sealing systems are classified according to EN 13501-2 based on the main performance criteria of Integrity (E) and Thermal Insulation (EI).
Global Building sealing systems can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
Joints between fire-rated compartment walls.
Wall-to-wall connections.
Wall-to-floor joints.
Floor-to-floor joints.
Connections between façades and horizontal structures.
Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Infrastructure and public works projects.
The solutions are compatible with various types of supporting construction, including concrete, concrete blocks, masonry, timber, and metal structures, in accordance with the conditions specified by the testing standards.
