JOINTEC GDM structural joints in aluminium and rubber

JOINTEC GDM aluminium structural expansion joints are composed of twin metal profiles joined by a central synthetic rubber insert. Designed to bear loads of large scale buildings or building elements, they can be installed vertically or horizontally in the interstitial space between two sections of a building or between two bays.
